“The Goonies” are officially back.
Warner Bros. has hired Potsy Ponciroli to write the script for the sequel, it was announced Friday — almost 40 years after the original movie hit theaters back in 1985. Steven Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger and Holly Bario will produce for Amblin Entertainment alongside Chris Columbus, who wrote the original “Goonies” script. Lauren Shuler Donner will executive produce. There is no director attached to the sequel yet, and there are no plot details revealed yet.
Josh Brolin, Sean Astin, Corey Feldman, Ke Huy Quan and Martha Plimpton all starred in the original 1985 movie about a group of kids who find an ancient map to hidden treasure. Directed by Richard Donner and produced by Spielberg, “The Goonies” made $125 million worldwide at the box office from a budget of just $19 million. It’s gone on to become a cult classic and was selected to be preserved in the National Registry by the Library of Congress in 2017.

I was 11 when it came out and it resonates with me especially because of that.
I remember enjoying it at age 13 as well. Then, I watched it with my kids a couple years ago. They hated it. And I said to myself: "What on earth did I think was good about this steaming pile of garbage? It was awful from start to finish."

“The Goonies” and “Short Circuit,” both made about the same time, and both filmed in Astoria, Oregon.

I’ll refuse to watch it. Goonies is a classic that will be impossible to be “redone”. Progressive Hollywood will just destroy it with wokeness.
I still have the movie on a VHS tape here somewhere on a shelf. If I had a VCR, I’d watch it tonight. Unfortunately, my last VCR died a few years ago.

Exactly, and their movies show that to anyone that pays attention to them, which I don’t anymore.
