Gremlins 2:The New Batch

[Lost hero]

Warner Home Entertainment will bring Gremlins 2: The New Batch to Blu-ray next summer. This madcap sequel to the 1984 horror-comedy finds Billy (Zach Galligan, Waxwork) and his Mogwai Gizmo (Howie Mandel, Gremlins) stuck in an ultra-modern New York City skyscraper and facing off ever-increasing hordes of malicious Gremlins.

Featuring spirited performances from John Glover (Batman & Robin), Phoebe Cates (Fast Times at Ridgemont High), Dick Miller (New York, New York), Robert Prosky (Last Action Hero), Christopher Lee (Horror Express), Robert Picardo (Total Recall), and Tony Randall (Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?) - as well as imaginative special effects from Rick Baker (Men in Black) - director Joe Dante (Piranha) uses the sequel's framework as an excuse to pay homage to his filmmaking inspirations, turning the film's second half into a post-modern collage of Roger Corman cheapies, 1950's monster movies, Looney Tunes cartoons, and even Broadway musicals.

Warner has not released the technical and supplementary specifications for this Blu-ray, so it is still unknown if the disc will include any of the following supplements that appeared on the DVD:
Commentary by director Joe Dante, producer Michael Finnell, writer Charlie Haas, and star Zach Galligan
Behind The Screams featurette
Deleted scenes
Gremlin Files feature
Gag reel

Gremlins 2: The New Batch is expected to street on May 8th.
