Here’s a story likely to get blood boiling and sharp fangs gnashing. According to Bloody Disgusting, Warner Bros. has decided to switch long-bubbling plans to work up a Gremlins sequel and is instead throwing a reboot into the development swimming pool.

Likely to cause further consternation is word that Dark Shadows writer/producer Seth Grahame-Smith and producing partner David Katzenberg – already raiding the back catalogues for a new Beetlejuice film – are on board to oversee this one.

Of course, it’s very early days on this one, with no writers or directors attached and not a hint as to casting. The Joe Dante original (and its less respected, but still incredibly fun) sequel hold a special place in lots of cinema-goers hearts, particularly those who grew up watching the movies. So naturally, the idea of a reboot is likely to cause concern. Still, we’ll have to wait and see how this one plays out – and let’s all remember that we’ve been down this road before…[/align:2boomxfr]
