Chris Columbus Talks Gremlins Reboot In Recent Interview. Gives Update On Goonies 2.

Chris Columbus has confirmed he is involved in a Gremlins reboot in a recent interview with Collider where he was promoting his latest movie, Pixels. Collider asked him about the Gremlins remake, to which he admitted he was involved.

"When I finished Gremlins, and the first Gremlins was released, I was asked to direct the sequel, and I said there was nowhere else to go. This is before the pre-crazy franchise era of Hollywood when everything is a franchise".

He also admitted that he has kind of taking inspiration from J.J. Abrams and his work on Star Trek:

"When he did Star Trek, he has a sense of taking that sort of sense of nostalgia that we all want, and bringing it forward, like he brought Leonard Nimoy into the first Star Trek. That to me was why we connected to that."

He mentioned the Star Wars trailer too and seeing Han and Chewie back brings back a nostalgic feeling and that's what he wants to do with the Gremlins reboot. He also keeps mentioning the Gremlins project as a reboot not a sequel.

He did say that the Gremlins reboot is much further along than the Goonies sequel that keeps surfacing. On the Goonies sequel he said:

'We're still searching, but we are searching very hard to try and make it work. But we're not going to let anybody down. If we don't feel it's right, and that's between Donner, Spielberg and myself, if we don't feel it's right, we're not gonna do it"

Did Paul Freeman Accidentally Eat A Fly In Raiders of the Lost Ark?

The Famous Indiana Jones Fly In Belloq's Mouth Scene. Did It Really Happen? I've always wondered if Paul Freeman unintentionally consumed a fly in this scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark ? It's the scene where Indiana Jones shouts down to Bellosh...I mean Belloq and threatens to blow up the ark. Did a fly go in his mouth? I remember watching this scene back in the early eighties and my ten year old mind thought he definitely had a snack while filming. I recall talking about 'flygate' in my school playground at the time and the general consensus with my friends was that Freeman definitely had a sneaky snack. Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th
