Further Proof GREMLINS Are Wicked: They're Sell-Outs!!

Published at:  May 01, 2008 9:59:30 AM CDT


Merrick here...



Those little green bastards from Joe Dante's films have been reborn overseas, in a television commercial for BT (website HERE). Comes with mischief, Goldsmith, and all.

The Guardian website has embedded the commercial, which you can see...

HERE!!!



We've recently been hearing unconfirmed (and extremely faint) whispers about what was presumed to be a new GREMLINS movie project...wonder if this is what the chatter was about?

    Gremlins - all time classic

    by kwisatzhaderach

  • May 01, 2008 8:47:09 AM CDT

    Gremlins was a metaphor for...

    by bobo_vision

    ...the invasion of Japanese products in Western America, and how they seem novel and wonderful at first, but there would be dire and frightening consequences in the end for the American economy and way of life. It was set at Christmas time to signify how the cultural influx would be a direct threat to Western religious and Christian "values". The father represented the American industry, with his bumbling and failed electronic devices which couldn't compete with the international market.

    For another Gremlins movie (another one not a re-make). Especially is Dante directs. He did Small Soliders (which was pretty much the same film) and that movie looked awesome with the doll/CGI combo. Haven't watched in a while so I don't know how well its held up. Too bad Dante never hit it big. Did he direct the commercial?

    In Gremlins 2, when the "film" gets screwed mid projection, only to reveal gremlins in the projection booth. First there was a lot of yelling and booing... then a second of absolute silence, then the house exploded on laughter. It was one of the greatest audience moments I remember. I bought tickets for the next show just to see that again, and the second time was even better. I bet the projectionist loved it too... Good times.

    It might be different from the rest of the world (I'm not from the states) but when Gremlins 2 hit VHS here, it had another version of that sequence, and it involved the gremlins screwing your TV, instead of film projection. The creen went static, and then the gremlins seem to start changing channels and laughing at movies... If you saw Hulk Hogan though, you saw the original version. The "TV version" didn't have HH on it...

    a minute and thirty seconds long? Our ADD-Redbull addled little brains would explode at the thought. Hey Brits, is that common in the UK? Oh, and loved the old school puppetry in the ad.BTW, didn't the original Gremlins start out as a horror film. I seem to recall an interview with Columbus that stated he wrote Gremlins inspired by an old run down apartment he lived in, where he could feel rats brush up against his hand as it dangled from his bedside at night.

    adverts of this length and scope usually play in the cinema over here, and you get an edited down version for the TV. Long adverts are OK if they are genius like this Gremlins one, but it still doesn't make up for having to sit through 20 minutes of them before the film starts. I really fucking hate them. It honestly puts me off going to the cinema more often (yeah I know I could turn up later but I like to gets me a nice seat bro)

    by drewlicious

    So they can't be all bad, right? I wouldn't mind seeing another Gremlins but I have a feeling whoever made it wouldn't maintain the appeal. Probably have some wya to CGI them which is a mistake, puppets are funnier. Still, since we're so dependent on techonology today it wouldn't be unthinkable that havoc they would wreak wouldn't have some kind of satire to it. Or you could go to unacceptably dark and have them responsible for the levees breaking in New Orleans.

    Gremlins 2/LT:BIA/Dante Love!

    by agentarchangel

    Gremlins 2 = Great parody of Gremlins 1. Joe Dante would only make a sequel if it was satirical, and he came up aces. As for the Looney Tunes movie, I felt it could have been a little longer, but overall it was pretty funny. Joe Dante was one of those filmmakers who ruled the 80's, and really needs more work, besides those MOH episodes. Personally, I wish they'd let him do more Looney Tunes movies, as well as another solid "Dante" movie. Some of his movies are favorites I've actually carried into adulthood, Innerspace and the Gremlins series come to mind. (One last thing, a major second of the motion that Michael Giacchino be drafted into the Dante fold, since Maestro Goldsmith is sadly no longer with us.)

    by burgertime

    A combo of CGI and puppetry. You know, guys in green suits working the puppets, then deleted for the final shot. Especially that one tapdancing on the desk. I think if they were doing another one, this is how I'd like them to do it. Puppets with some CGI tricks to erase the rods and wires. To me, it would retain the spirit of the originals. All-CGI Gremlins would kill it.

    by darth macchio

    Super hottness Queen of planet Redhead. I think that was her real hair color too (she was fake blond in Sixteen Candles). And yes, Dante absolutely went batshit nuts for Gremlins 2 and it's a fun ride all the way through. It's not a "real" story-based movie like Gremlins 1 (which I love) but still hella-fun regardless. And between Phoebe Cates and Haviland Morris...nuff saidAnd I'll always have a soft spot for Dante...I don't know all the details with the Twilight Zone shoot and Vic Morrow but it always seemed like he either was given or took the lion's share of the blame. Not like the guy who, admittedly, made some fun horror movies titled Jeepers Creepers 1&2, who actually filmed himself molesting a young boy. I really like those movies but sheesh...the guy's a fucking child molester!!

We get quite a few shots of Phoebe's bare bottom, and then some. And it was her first movie, pre-Fast Times, so there's that. Discuss.

    AICN is weird about unbroken line length (as is evidenced in all those busted weblinks) so it inserts a space randomly into long strings of letters and numbers.

    "IT'S A GOOD LIFE"

    by burgertime

    Dante directed the segment about the kid with special powers who can conjure whatever he wants to keep his family imprisoned and terrified in their home. So he wasn't responsible for the accident that happened on set...not his part of the flick.

    I loved Dante's segment. Terrific colours and angles. And some of the creatures the kid came up with - downright spooky.

    I swear I totally shit my pants when Uncle Walt pulled that demonic rabbit out of the hat. Fuck that was terrifying.

    by gilkuliehe

    A full post-hacthing gremlin stands in front of the ocean, wrapped in a small silk black robe... (Yeah, they have access to full mini clothing and costumes, so what) He's one of the evil ones, sporting a mohawk or stripe on his head. Maybe even an eye patch. He stares at the ocean much like Patrick Swayze did at the end of POINT BREAK. Words fill the screen... "Next summer... Guess who's coming to dinner... After midnight". Then we see the robe on the sand... And small gremlin feet going towards the ocean... We see the mohawk going into the water Jaws style... And then all that crazy lighting and bubbles start bursting in the ocean. "Gremlins 3: Quantum of Kickass... 2010". Script to be written by Diablo Cody.

    Last movie I remember her starring in is where she speaks some foreign language in some period film. Oh and then she was in another movie with that dude from Monty Python where she imagines him doing shit. Was it that Monty Python guy? I don't know. But I would like to know where she's been?

    Underoos Hero RE: Dark Crystal

    by sith witch

    The Power of the Dark Crystal is still on the way. I talked to Wendy Froud a few weeks ago and she indicated it's on temporary hold again for financial reasons. If all goes well in that arena it'll be out sometime in 2009, but that's a best case scenario.

    your campaign to become the craziest, most detestable, pinheaded cinetard cretin since ringwearer9 is really becoming more and more successful by the day.

    Keep up the good work.

    Cates retired from the biz to look after her and Kevin Kline's kids. (Owen Kline is now an actor too - he recently played the youngest child in The Squid And The Whale.) The four of them act together in The Anniversary Party, playing semi-autobiographical versions of themselves, which Jennifer Jason Leigh and Alan Cumming wrote and directed. Cates is still a yummy mummy.

    Did a great diservice to the name 'Fred', but, he played one of the funniest characters of all-time in a classic Black Adder - Lord Flasheart!

    Peter Jones is a cunt

    by lost jarv

    he stole that from China- renamed it Dragon's Den and then blighted our TV with it. I'm glad he's gone to America. And Lord Flasheart was one of the all time great comic characters: "You treat your kite like you treat your woman- in her 6 times a day and take her to heaven. WOOF"

    I know the muppets

    by series7

    Are much more of a national treasure then Gizmo and the gang. But remember when someone at Henson Co. started letting everyone use there puppets? And now we may get an Apatow Muppets. Maybe germlins will go the same way, but hopefully they don't give the movie to an Apatow gang member and just give it to Dante.
