Will it be bad? Yes.

Will I watch it? Probably not.

But I might watch it when it comes to streaming services.

Please please don't,it'll suck and we all know it will. Everyone working on it knows it will,everyone in the studio knows it and everyone in the audience knows it. It'll cost way too much, be shit amd ruin the two originals too. No one will care about making a good picture because they all know its going to suck and lose millions of dollars, don't do a ghostbuster! Just rerelise the original one and two and make movie off a movie that's already made, don't do this irs such a bad idea amd everyone knows, stop killing all the good things

I’ll wait for the reviews and then decide if it’s worth my time.

[–] Therobohour@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nostalgia bombing yet again. Im so over it dude. What happened to new original films? Did all the writers die? Is it cause they are treated like shot and constantly have to strike for fair pay?

[–] UnspecificGravity 1 points 2 weeks ago

Literally hundreds of original films come out every year. The problem is that people don't go see them.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Another remake. Yay.

When will it end? I won't even waste the SSD space pirating these cash grabs.

[–] Therobohour@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why do they keep making cash grabs 36 years too late and half baked. Don't these movies lose more money then they make.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

The only thing I can think is because

A) Nostalgia farming worked really well for them in the 80s/90s, and they are unable to realize now is different

B) They probably are making money on these unfortunately (though not as much as they want), and it is likely because a known and trusted IP is easier to sell than a fresh untrusted idea that could flop worse. The fracturization of the industry oddly doesn't help (like, back in the day everyone was watching the same things at the same time, now with 30k different streaming services it's almost impossible to put up the same numbers as back then).

That said, I still hate it lmao.

The way things are going in the Untied States, I don't feel like I can look forward to American movies two years away. America is going to collapse or become more of a dictatorship by then.

One can only hope that they follow red letter media's pitch.

[–] kratoz29@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

I didn't even know there was a Gremlins 2 movie (and I haven't even watched the 1st one).

[–] Reiea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hope the have furbies in it.

I've started going to arthouse cinemas, and I'm really enjoying cinematographies of lesser known countries. Boycott Hollywood slop, your local cinemas and play theatres would benefit from your patronage.

Can't imagine giving up a part of my limited lifespan watching this. Other commenters in this thread have no self respect.
