Warner Bros. Developing New Goonies and Gremlins Films

Plans for sequels to the iconic '80s franchises are in early stages, with few confirmed details about cast or production timelines.

Warner Bros. has announced early development of new films for the Goonies and Gremlins franchises, as reported by Deadline.
The Goonies project is currently at the 'treatment' stage, meaning it is still in the conceptual or pitch phase, with no script or confirmed cast involvement.
Chris Columbus, known for his work on the original Gremlins films, is attached to the new Gremlins movie, which is intended as a direct sequel rather than a reboot.
Columbus has previously stated that the new Gremlins installment will avoid CGI, relying instead on traditional puppetry and animatronics for the titular creatures.
Fans of both franchises have expressed concerns about whether the sequels can recapture the original films' practical effects and nostalgic charm without over-relying on modern filmmaking techniques.
