Maybe, but sequels aren't impossible or uncommon after long periods. Look at Superman Returns. I think "sequel" is perhaps the wrong term here. Nowadays they tend to call them "reboots". Many reboots are sequels but they are (a word we use when referring to game expansions) 'standalone' sequels. Usually them being part sequel and part fresh, for a new audience. The backstory can and is many times incorporated but the story in itself can be self-contained. Old-timers to the saga usually recognise some of the easter-eggs and references to what went before, while newer viewers don't feel lost because the plot is accessible.

Anyways, for me, a reboot I can grudgingly live with but a remake I don't think is necessary. I don't even think an exact remake of the old one but with new actors could accomplish much. Other than the Gremlins looking scarier and more realistic. I mean, they were scary back then as it was. Bah, they need to just leave Gremlins alone. The second one was my favourite btw.
