Did you wake up this morning and think, “My childhood hasn’t completely been destroyed yet.”? Neither did we, but that’s not going to stop Warner Bros. from trying to poo poo on what little we have left.
In an article over at Aint it Cool News discussing a second Goonies, they tease that Warner Bros. Pictures is moving quickly on rebooting Joe Dante’s Steven Spielberg-produced Gremlins, which doesn’t come as much of a shocker considering it has been rumored for years.
