TotalFilm have pointed us to an interview that Josh Brolin gave with Extra where he basically said it’s not going to happen:
“I saw Steven Spielberg on the street about a month and a half ago, and I asked the reality. I hear there is a script, yes, but there’s no talk about doing a Goonies sequel at this very moment.”
“And that’s the first time I’ve been truthful about that answer… ever.”
It’s nice to know there’s a sequel script but again, does anyone want it to come to fruition? Surely Brolin is now far too big a star to entertain it? But that said, maybe he’s like to reconnect back to his roots.
Now, all that said, have a look at this article here which talks about 80s / 90s classic movies being remade. We’ve already had Karate Kid make a comeback bringing in bucket loads at the US box office, then the A-Team and now Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead. What’s to say that The Goonies isn’t next to have an overhaul?! Just because the original cast aren’t going to make another, doesn’t necessarily mean that Warner Bros. couldn’t revive it does it? But then surely the original cast would have to cameo!? Oooo the possibilities!
Not sure how I feel about that idea either. Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below.
