Part 7/10:
Upcoming projects drew mixed reviews. The Mummy 4, returning with Brendan Fraser and the original cast, was seen as promising but saddled with concern due to the absence of Stephen Sommers, its original director. The potential of John Carpenter’s The Thing sequel remained uncertain, with skepticism about whether the legendary director would actually undertake such a project.
They expressed reservations about Gredlin’s Gremlins 3, joking about it being decades late but still possibly a fun nostalgia trip if it’s handled well. In a similar vein, they mused about Predator and Alien sequels, some speculating on the involvement of aging directors or reboots that may not meet expectations.
