Goonies never say die, and apparently, neither does Richard Donner, who revealed that a Goonies sequel is in the works.
The Goonies will return for a Goonies 2 after all. At least, that's what Richard Donner says. During an "interview"with TMZwhile signing autographs for fans, Donner revealed that he's involved in a Gooniessequel, and he'd like to bring back as much of the original cast as possible.
In answer to whether or not he would ever do another comic book movie (Mr. Donner helmed the timeless Superman: The Movie) "If you call Gooniesa comic book. We're doing a sequel." On the question of whether the original cast might return, he responded "Hopefully, all of them."
There have been rumblings of a Goonies sequel roughly since the time the first film was released back in 1985, but a confident, definitive comment like this from Richard Donner should get fans thinking. Watch the video here:
Goonies 2joins the ranks of other long gestating sequels to classic genre movies, such as Ghostbusters 3and Beetlejuice 2. As charming as the original Gooniesfilm (and the earlier installments of those other franchises) remains, there's the question of whether it was ever really a sequel-ready film. Some films can just be right for a particular moment in time, and perhaps revisiting that same world three decades later might rub the magic off a little. Oh, who are we kidding? We'll see it...
