The Goonies 2 Is A Go With Steven Spielberg Producing At Warner Bros.

The Goonies are making a comeback after nearly 40 years. Warner Bros. has hired Potsy Ponciroli to write the script for the sequel. The original movie hit theaters back in 1985. Steven Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger, and Holly Bario will executive produce for Amblin Entertainment alongside Chris Columbus, who wrote the original film. Lauren Shuler Donner will executive produce as well. There is no director attached or plot details available.

The Goonies starred Josh Brolin, Sean Astin, Corey Feldman, Ke Huy Quan, and Martha Plimpton. That film told the story of kids who find an ancient map to hidden treasure. It was directed by Richard Donner and produced by Spielberg. The film made $125 million worldwide at the box office from a budget of $19 million. It’s gone on to become a cherished film for many and was selected to be preserved in the National Registry by the Library of Congress in 2017.

As for the returning stars, Ke Huy Quan has been quoted at the Love Hurts premiere about the subject.

“It’s one of the most asked questions in my life. I would love for it to happen.”

His co-star Corey Feldman had this to say at the same premiere.

 “All I can say is, get us all together. Everybody is looking good. Sean’s looking good. Josh is looking good. We’re all looking good still, and we’re all alive. Goonies never say die…There’s hope.”
