Yeah, Gremlins is a case of lightning in a bottle. It is utterly of its cultural/historical moment, and I see nothing to be gained from trying to re-hash it in new trappings.

The actor will stay busy regardless of his status in Smurf Village. Reubens said that a director has been chosen for a long-gestating Pee-wee movie (Judd Apatow has been on board to produce), though he declined to identify the filmmaker.

Good News: The comic book Queen and Country by the incredibly talented Greg Rucka has been optioned for a film with Ellen Page taking the lead!

Rucka is very good at writing strong, interesting, and flawed (as in humans are flawed, not the writing is flawed kind of way) female characters, and this series has franchise potential.

Potentially Bad News: According to Variety, John Rogers is doing the screen play (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0736966/)... lets hope his work on 'Leverage' has taught him some lessons since his previous credits were Micheal Bay's Transformers, Halle Barry's Catwoman, and The Core... because it would be a shame to see Rucka's good writing get watered down
