The Goonies remains one of my earliest cinematic obsessions. I worshipped Richard Donner’s spunky, messy kids-on-an-adventure fantasy. I bought an Army bomber jacket that looked like Data’s and filled the pockets with "Booby traps." I begged my parents to vacation in Oregon, convinced I could stumble on a labyrinth of underground tunnels and caves. It was pretty unhealthy for a while.
WGTC: “The Goonies 2 was apparently pitched to those at the top back in the day, though the idea was too expensive to ever come to fruition.”
Comicbook
Over the past couple years, several members of the cast of 1985's Goonies — Corey Feldman ("Dream a Little Dream"), Josh Brolin ("Guardians of the Galaxy"), and Sean Astin ("The Lord of the Rings") — have expressed interest in reprising their roles in a much-rumored sequel, and in just the past year, Astin has boldly claimed that a sequel is a "lock" to happen. Goonies never say die!
They've been talking about this forever. I won't believe it until I see stills of them filming.
true enough. i want this sequel more than anything as long as they keep the true spirit and heart of the film.
I hope they can get a decent story together for it. There's one thing going "we want to do it" there's another giving a reason for the adventure happening.
Yahoo!: In a career that now stretches more than three decades, Sean Astin has starred in a beloved childhood classic (The Goonies), a quintessential sports film (Rudy) and one of the most successful film franchises in history (The Lord of the Rings). Now, at 44 years old, Astin is investing much of his time in a smaller (yet growing) genre: Christian films.
Never knew he was in his 40s.. damn
Leave the Goonies where it is. They'll never capture the magic of the 1st.
"The Goonies Kids"
Thats one storyline I do not want to see in this, the majority of child actors today are terrible and not like the 70s - 90s actors which starred in films like the Goonies. Most child actors today make the films their in pretty cheesy and cringe worthy.
If they are making this and getting the actors back then I want it to focus on them, I don't see any reason to focus on a new audience for this film when younger kids probably don't even know what the Goonies is. The best thing they can do is focus more on the adults who watch the Goonies in the 80s. If it was a remake fair enough the younger audience would be the target but if the original actors come back I'd rather see it focus on the young adult - adult audience.
