A report published today by Deadline detailed internal personnel changes at Warner Bros. Pictures, analyzing the departures of Josh Goldstine, President of Worldwide Marketing, and Andrew Cripps, President of International Theatrical Distribution. Deadline suggested these changes reflect Warner Bros. co-chairpersons and CEOs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy's efforts to re-establish the studio as a trusted partner for creators, with adjustments to film promotion and distribution models being a key part of this strategy.

Within the report, Deadline specifically noted that new sequels are currently in development for both the "The Goonies" and "Gremlins" franchises, both executive produced by Steven Spielberg. Of course, this isn't the first time news of sequels for these two beloved IPs has surfaced; such rumors have circulated for decades, with creators and cast members periodically suggesting that scripts have been in continuous refinement. Despite years of development, these projects have remained in a prolonged state of limbo.

Deadline did not specify who would write or direct the new "Goonies 2," but confirmed that "Gremlins 3" is still being conceived by original series writer Chris Columbus. Both "The Goonies" and "Gremlins" have also explored small-screen adaptations in recent years. While "Gremlins" successfully launched its animated prequel series, "Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai," plans for "The Goonies" animated series and a live-action reboot have yet to materialize.
