Zach Galligan wants Godzilla-sized Gremlin in third film

Last week Zach Galligan revealed that there would be a third Gremlins film and now he has spoken of his ideas for the movie.

Galligan, who played Billy Peltzer, told IGN that he’d actually written his own treatment for the movie some years back with his main idea involving a Godzilla-sized Gremlin.

He said “We saw the caterpillar-butterfly thing with the mogwai turning into a Gremlin. What if there was an additional third stage? We don’t know anything about these creatures. All the Gremlins get wiped out within 24 hours of coming to life. So what I had – and this is not pandering to the British populace – I had one where Billy and his daughter; Phoebe [Cates] is gone or dead or divorced or something like that. Billy’s a single Dad living with his daughter, and they’re down on their luck. So the daughter goes on the internet and puts Gizmo up on ebay in order to make money, because it’s a one-of-a-kind exotic pet.

“They sell him for the equivalent of like $20k, and it gets bought by the equivalent of Richard Branson, so you have a little bit more Clampy-kind of fun stuff in there. So he buys it as an exotic pet for his daughter. And it comes over to London and they spill different stuff on it and it spawns all sorts of crazy stuff and then that multiplies, the Gremlins come out, all go down into the tube, because that’s the one thing you want to see is Gremlins in the tube messing up.

“They burrow and hide somewhere where we can’t locate them, and what happens is – do you know what a fractal is? A fractal is when you have one thing that’s a piece, and when you put them together it makes an entire piece. So if you had a little baby pyramid and you put other pyramids together you’d make one big pyramid. So the Gremlins all mass together and form one huge Gremlin. Kind of like a Godzilla-sized one that bursts out of London knocking over Big Ben and stuff like that.”

Galligan re-iterated the fact that he’s unsure what Columbus and co have planned for the proposed sequel but we sure do like the idea of a Godzilla-sized Gremlin.
