"Favourite films: The Howling, Piranha, Innerspace, Gremlins, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, Matinee, and The Burbs "
"Joe Dante went on a tear in the 80's with his signature Looney Tunes-inspired wackiness, and his last really big film was Small Soldiers in 1998 (which was sort of a re-purposed Gremlins). I'd actually love to see him bring Innerspace back either as a sequel or reboot, there really hasn't been a movie like that since and I just think the concept combined with today's tech advancements would be amazing."
"1995 "The Phantom" (was set to direct it with Billy Zane before the production was delayed, replaced by Simon Wincer)"
"The reason why this man is well known, take a look at that little guy on his head Gremlins (1984) The 'Burbs (1989) Small Soldiers (1998) Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003)"
