I'm very curious to see what the story will be like and how many of the original cast will be returning. Is anyone looking forward to this?

This writer has only ever written 3 things in his life. None of which I've ever heard of and one of which is TV thing. Not exactly confidence inspiring.

Corey Feldman's greatest second chance.

[Andrew NDB]

It'll be a little tickling to see 2025 Corey Feldman "seriously" acting across from like, 2025 Josh Brolin.

Another case of No one in their right mind needs this.

I mean, 10-15 years ago? Yes. They did. Now? idk... idk... I think the time has passed. The viable options now outweigh the good ones available then. I wonder if this is only getting traction now because of Shortround's success of late.

God, no. Please let this die in pre-production.

Hey, Goonie’s never say die!

Hey, Goonie’s never say die!

Good one. :lol:

I say that if they put Feldman in this at all they let him be nuts and totally unhinged..... I can see it now - people coming out of theaters saying that he was the best part of the movie.

[Andrew NDB]

I think at this stage expecting much more of the OG Goonies actors in this than, say, "Carrie Fisher in Last Jedi" would be foolhardly. And also, actually getting much more than that in any meaningful way might be pretty embarrassing. Like, there was some wiggle room a decade or so ago where it might have worked... but if it's going to be even a LITTLE bit of a bunch of old, frail fat guys stumbling around caves in the dark, it's going to all unravel. Which means the OGs will have to be relegated to just framing sequences, huddled around inside houses worried about the plight of their kids or grandkids, showing up for hugs with the kids at the end and not much else.

(i.e., not too many opportunities for Feldman to do anything too memorably spastic)

Script is "moving in the right direction."

I don't think the Goonies should be revived. Sometimes dead is better. Let them rest in peace. I can't imagine anything good coming from a sequel.

Not now, anyway. They could have pulled it off when the main cast could still play young, fairly spry parents with their own B plot in an adventure. Like around 2005 or so. But now they all look like sh**.
