Remaking Gremlins: My Casting Choices

I’m back with another Remake Article! Today is all about one of my favorite Christmas horror movies, Gremlins! Gremlins is a classic that I believe must be watched every Christmas. As always, I made my casting choices based on age, looks, and how I picture their overall performances. I also don’t know a lot of child actors, so I omitted the 2 kid characters from this article. I hope you enjoy and let me know who you’d cast! (REMINDER: this is just hypothetical fun! I respect everyone mentioned and this series isn’t meant to tear anyone down or be disrespectful!!!)
