The Goonies, is not merely iconic in the 80's, but stands as one of the most prominent kid's adventure movie. For years ever since its release in 1985, there had been several confirmations and denials that have both surrounded the possibility of a sequel. A few years ago, The Goonies director Richard Donner said a sequel was unlikely to come together, but held out hope for a Broadway musical. Fun as a Goonies musical may have been, that didn’t pan out. However, Donner has changed his tune on a sequel. Donner, the director behind Superman and Superman II, was asked if would ever make another comic book movie. His surprising response: “
If you call Goonies a comic book. We’re doing a sequel.” He added that “
hopefully all” of the stars will return.
I doubt it’s a done deal yet, but if you belong to the Goonies
generation, this is promising news from a key player. [hit the jump to continue to what
