Hysterical Comedy Sketch about How GREMLINS 2 Got Made
Key & Peele have released an incredibly funny sketch about how Gremlins 2: The New Batch ended up being developed. Say what you will about that movie, but I thought it was great! I loved how ridiculous it was. Jordan Peele plays the Hollywood sequel doctor in the sketch and goes into the Gremlins 2 writer’s room to observe the brainstorming session. As it goes on, he really gets into it and takes it over and starts coming up with the craziest ideas ever. If you’ve seen Gremlins 2, then you’re sure to laugh your ass off at this. Director Joe Dante saw this sketch and tweeted:
“This is EXACTLY how it happened!”
Dante originally turned down the offer to direct the sequel because it was so hard for him to make the first one. When the studio offered him a bigger budget and free license to do whatever he wanted with the film, he decided to take the gig. He said the movie “was essentially about how there didn’t need to be a sequel to Gremlins.”
If you haven’t seen Gremlins 2 yet, you definitely need to watch it. It’s so great on so many levels. Now watch the sketch!
