Ever since 1985, every year or two there’s been a rumour that a sequel to The Goonies might be in the works. It’s gotten to the point where most people assumed it will never happen, but then few people thought we’d get The Lost Boys 2 & 3 either (and even more wish we hadn’t).
However now director Richard Donner himself has confirmed that they’re working on The Goonies 2. After TMZ stopped him on the street, they asked if he’d return to the comic book genre he helped create with 1978’s Superman
He replies, “If you call The Goonies a comic book.” He then adds, “We’re doing a sequel.”
When asked if any of the original cast is going to return, he says, “Hopefully all of them.”
Several years ago a script for The Goonies 2 was developed, which followed a new group of kids, many of the children of the original Goonies. Over the years the likes of Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Kerri Green, and Martha Plimpton have expressed an interest in returning, but the film has never seemed all that close to actually happening.
While this isn’t exactly an official announcement, the fact it’s on Donner’s mind certainly suggests it’s something he’s actively working on. We’ll have to wait and see if this actually turns into anything.
Take a look at the TMZ vid below.
