Chris Columbus proud of 'Gremlins 3' script

Filmmaker Chris Columbus said he is proud of the script for "Gremlins 3" and teased that the plot of the new movie is twisted and dark.

The "Harry Potter" filmmaker helmed the first comedy horror back in 1984 but was absent for the 1990 sequel.

Warner Bros has been working on a third installment of the franchise, though it is yet to be given a release date, reported Contactmusic.

"I'm really proud of the script. It is as twisted and dark as anything, so we'll see. It's always a budgetary conversation when we're going to shoot it," Colmbus said.

"I wanted to go back to the really twisted sensibility of the first movie. I found that was a very easy place for me to fall back into and start writing again so hopefully we'll see that movie soon."

The original comedy horror movie was released in 1984 and starred Zach Galligan as Billy Peltzer and Phoebe Cates and Corey Feldman.
