Gremlins Reboot Adds Disturbia and Goosebumps Scribe

10

The writer of upcoming the meta comedy horror Goosebumps movie has been hired by Warner Bros as writer of the in-production Gremlins reboot. Carl Ellsworth, whose credits also include Disturbia and the remake of Last House on the Left, will take on writing duties for the film, but for now the director’s chair remains empty.

The original, a low-budget black comedy directed by Joe Dante and written by Christopher Columbus, has become a cult classic since its 1984 release. Columbus is producing the remake, alongside Steven Spielberg.
