Goonies 2 happening Original Cast returning

The Goonies 2 sequel has been confirmed after scripts and rumors have been floating around Hollywood for many years, we finally have confirmation of a sequel. Here’s the best part… The entire original cast are returning for the sequel.

A script for The Goonies 2 had been written some years ago, which follows a group of new kids, the sons and daughters of the original Goonies, who all go off on an adventure like the one seen in the original movie. Most of the cast, including Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Kerri Green, and Martha Plimpton have expressed an interest in returning in the past few years. For a while, Warner Bros. considered turning the title into a direct-to-video franchise, like they did with Corey Feldman‘s The Lost Boys.

Whilst director of the original The Goonies, Richard Doonor was in the street signing pictures, he had this to say:

Reporter: “Are you making another comic book movie?”

Richard Donnor: “If you call Goonies a comic book movie. We’re doing a sequel.”

And thus a million brains exploded in happiness...

But why?

Oh...right....money.

I hope it is a story about the original characters, and not their kids or something.

Well it can't be the entire original cast since some of them are dead. But at least it is finally happening.

TBT, it is about their kids going off on an adventure. But I could see potential in this if they did it right.

I'll believe it when I see it... also Id much rather have the original cast be the primary focus along with their kids, not just a scene in the beginning and end while the kids have the adventure through most the movie.

Here is what Chris Columbus said about the possibility of a sequel while he was also mentioning another Gremlins film.

Quote:

As for Gremlins, a reboot is "in the early stages," Columbus said. "We're working with a writer. We're just trying to work out the story."

Columbus genuinely cares about the films he has brought to life and become beloved by so many audiences. "I'm very protective of Gremlins and Goonies," he said before acknowledging that he knows some people want reboots or sequels and some people don't. "They're gonna do it with or without me. I just want to be involved in the franchises, if need be."

As for The Goonies, "I think that's a little tougher," Columbus explained. "It'd be great to see. People are clamoring for it. There's a lot of writers in Hollywood that really want to write the script. It's a tougher one though. Gremlins are creatures. Gremlins movies are Gremlin driven and the Gremlins haven't aged 30 years. The original Goonies was based on that cast. They were so great together and we're 30 years down the road. I don't know. That's a bit more of a challenge."

I'm not sure what to think about a reboot. I'd only accept this if it's the original characters kids. I'm a fan of the film so :lol:
