Ghoulies Reboot

Original ‘Ghoulies’ Creators Hoping to Get Sony on Board With a Franchise Reboot

Empire Pictures’ lovable creature feature Ghoulies just turned 35 this year, a film that went on to spawn a four-movie franchise that ended with 1994’s Ghoulies IV. That means we haven’t seen or heard from the franchise in over 25 years, but the original creators are now determined to bring the tiny rubber monsters back to life.

Director/Co-Writer Luca Bercovici and Producer/Co-Writer Jefery Levy are asking rights holders Sony Pictures to allow them to reboot the Ghoulies franchise with a brand new movie, and a petition for that cause is now live over on Change.org.

The petition reads, “Bercovici and Levy are urging fans to climb the porcelain throne and support the #GhouliesReboot campaign in order to show Sony that audiences want a new entry to the series which originally ran from 1985 to 1994. Once we have hit our signature target this petition will be forwarded to Sony CEO Tony Vinciquerra, and hopefully discussions can start between Luca Bercovici, Jefery Levy and Steve Bersch at Screen Gems (a division of Sony) regarding production on a new and exciting Ghoulies reboot.”

“Ghoulies transcended its original generation and was embraced by the following generation who loved the weirdly strange and goofy world of the Ghoulies. The cult of Ghoulies has grown legion over the decades; this legion of old fans and a whole generation of new fans crave for a new Ghoulies for the new millennium,” says Bercovici.

At the time of this writing, the petition has been signed by over 120 Ghoulies fans. So if you want more Ghoulies, sign it and pass it along. As we always like to say, it can’t hurt!
