We first meet Christopher Columbus as an exuberant boy of Genoa, Italy, who wants only one thing - an adventurous life at sea. As he grows into young manhood, he becomes an expert sailor.
Christopher Columbus believes he can find an alternative ... have to pass through his country on the current route, sends his best spy, Fatima, to wreck the trip.
and that Christopher Columbus is working on a treatment for it. That doesn't mean he'll write the movie, but it is the most positive sign we have yet that Gremlins 3 could actually happen.
