“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.

Why?
Another sequel. Yawn.
No Tranny in the original.
$$$$$$$$
Original was FORTY years ago. Ugh. I feel so old.
They had BETTER not mess this up. The Goonies is one of my favorite movies from my childhood. I was 11 when it came out and it resonates with me especially because of that.
“Put a chick in it, and make her gay!”
OMG!
not
I guess I’m too old to have seen it. I’ll have to find the original, it sounds like fun.
Goonies never say die.
let me guess, the cast will consist of strong super hero female lead, black computer genius, gay white guy, and another token minority
The first one looked stupid so I never saw it.
Why?
Because Hollyweird is intellectually bankrupt.
Why?
“The Goonies” made $125 million worldwide at the box office from a budget of just $19 million.”
Any questions? :-)
All diversity with NO STORY
More garbage.
Goonies was NOT a very good movie, IMHO.
Oh, cool! Now Hollyweird is doing sequels of terrible 80s movies, not just the mediocre ones.
What’s next, a remake of Howard The Duck?
