A month prior to the release of "Heathers," the American moviegoing public was warned that a couple of upstart film brats had concocted an unspeakably cruel dark comedy about the epidemic of teen suicide. The critics were generally impressed, but some worried that communities that had been traumatized by this tragedy in real life would picket theaters playing the movie (or worse). "Heathers" was toying with raw emotions, we were told. A storm was coming, one that could end the careers of director Michael Lehmann, screenwriter Daniel Waters, and the rising star duo of Winona Ryder and Christian Slater.

New World Pictures obviously wanted "Heathers" to be a sleeper hit, but the combination of the film's subject matter and the company's limited resources placed it at an immediate disadvantage. So, it toe-dipped with a 35-screen opening on March 31, 1989. The movie's per-screen average was encouraging for an indie, but not the stuff of an ambitious expansion.

"Goonies Never Say Die," but they also never tell lies. One of the original stars of The Goonies has shared their candid opinion on the 1985 cult classic getting a sequel, some forty years later. A follow-up film has been talked about for a while, but it wasn't until February this year that the project became official at Warner Bros. Josh Brolin, who starred in the first film as teenager Brandon "Brand" Walsh, has admitted that he has a few reservations about the long-awaited follow-up, but, as he points out, there are valid reasons behind his "trepidation."

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the premiere of his much-anticipated horror outing (which has a terrifyingly perfect Rt score), Brolin revealed mixed feelings about The Goonies 2. The actor shared his enthusiasm over the adventure flick getting a sequel, but also expressed concerns about whether it could potentially ruin the perception of the original film.

Guys, grab your treasure maps and prep the booby traps, because The Goonies 2 is officially setting sail and it’s not a drill. Nearly four decades after the original cult classic debuted in 1985, Warner Bros. has greenlit a long-awaited sequel with Potsy Ponciroli tapped to write the script.

While there’s no director attached yet and plot details are still buried deeper than One-Eyed Willy’s loot, the names behind the scenes are enough to spark major excitement. But exciting news, Steven Spielberg is returning as producer alongside Kristie Macosko Krieger and Holly Bario for Amblin Entertainment, and Chris Columbus, who wrote the original screenplay, is back on board.

In case you somehow missed the cultural moment that was The Goonies, this classic followed a scrappy group of kids in coastal Oregon who stumbled upon a centuries-old treasure map and set out on a wildly dangerous, booby-trap-filled adventure.

Though...

Josh Brolin is uncertain about making a sequel to The Goonies because he’s concerned it might “taint” the original movie.While the 57-year-old actor - who starred in the 1985 adventure flick as Brandon ‘Brand’ Walsh - wants a follow-up to go ahead, Brolin admitted he was also apprehensive about a Goonies sequel because he doesn’t want to ruin the “memory” of the first film.Speaking about a Goonies sequel with Entertainment Tonight, he said: “I hope it does [happen] because the experience was so great. The movie is received so well, generation after generation. “It's just everything good about it. The trepidation that I have is that you release something else that taints that. I don't want to taint what my memory of it [is].”The Weapons star then joked about a possible plot for a Goonies sequel that would catch up with the gang when they’re much older.

For decades, fans of the beloved '80s cult classic, The Goonies, have hoped for a return to the treasure-hunting world of Mikey and his friends. That hope is finally becoming a reality after a sequel was officially confirmed early this year, timed perfectly to the film's 40th anniversary. Adding to the excitement, original creatives Chris Columbus (who wrote the original's script) and Steven Spielberg are confirmed to return as executive producers. While plot and casting details remain under tight wraps, the original cast recently reunited for a retrospective conversation with The Guardian, sharing a range of reactions about their potential involvement in the next chapter.

The interview featured three original stars, Joe Pantoliano, Sean Astin, and Kerri Green, as well as two crew members, director of photography Nick McLean, and camera operator Michael O’Shea. The group fondly reminisced about their extensive on-set experience and the movie's enduring legacy. However,...

Goonies never say die! And for a long time, they never said "sequel" either. Now one is finally on its way... but the original cast haven't been told much about it.

Recently, the main members of the Goonies cast got together for a retrospective of the film with The Guardian. They all had a fun time reminiscing about their friendship and pranks on set, but the conversation inevitably turned to the sequel news. Nick McLean, the director of photography, was the first to ask a question that was surely on many fans' minds. "[Richard] Donner has died [in 2021], so who would direct it?"

Of course, Steven Spielberg would seem the obvious answer. But there's other things to consider... such as which members of the cast have actually been asked back. "They’ve been talking about sequels to this movie for years," said Joey Pantoliano. "Spielberg would say: 'They probably spent millions of...

"Goonies Never Say Die," but the original of The Gooniescast has spoken candidly about the long-anticipated sequel to Richard Donner's 1985 cult classic and, unfortunately, it might not be the news that fans want to hear. Goonies 2has been in development for a while, but Warner Bros. officially confirmed the sequel in February. There are no plot details as yet. However, those hoping for a reunion in the Goon Docks might be out of luck, as the cast say they are "unlikely" to have main roles in the film, but they could perhaps have "cameos."

The Guardian invited the original cast and crew of The Goonies to explore how their film has endured as a cult classic and to unpack their experiences from the set, forty years on from its release in theaters. As well as looking back, the group were also quizzed on the future of the franchise, now...

Goonies never say die, nor do they say “uncle.”

This Saturday will mark the 40th anniversary of the release of the 1985 adventure comedy The Goonies, and the now-grown stars of the series still have the on-set antics from the landmark film’s production fresh in their minds. Before America fell in love with the group of friends who set out on a quest to find long-lost pirate treasure and save their homes from foreclosure, the cast of The Goonies became real-life pals with all the real-life rowdiness, wrestling and pranking that comes with being a bunch of kids given free rein to improvise and raise hell on a Hollywood set.

Hell, even the adults of the Goonies team joined in on the antics, as many cast and crew members from the film discussed in a recent conversation with The Guardian. According to them, director Richard Donner and producer Steven Spielberg...

Between movies about Christmas presents you shouldn't feed after midnight and aliens that need to make a phone call, the 1980s were rife with family films that became iconic in their own right, one in particular being the Richard Donner-directed, Steven Spielberg-produced adventure movie, "The Goonies." Released in 1985, this now-treasured, er, treasure hunt launched the careers of a handful of stars, including Corey Feldman, Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, and Oscar-winner Ke Huy Quan. You must know the story by now, and if you don't, then, well, boy, was your childhood lacking. Anyway, "The Goonies" follows the titular band of kids as they find a treasure map and are swept off on an adventure searching for a pirate ship that could hold enough "rich stuff" to prevent their homes from being flattened for a newly-approved golf course.

While Donner's film has been homaged many times over, it's also...

Warner Bros. classic coming-of-age adventure movie The Goonies has officially found a new streaming home, four decades after its theatrical release. The 1985 movie was produced by Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Spielberg, who was the one responsible for creating the story.

The Goonies is currently available to stream for free on Tubi. The movie was led by a group of rising young stars, including Astin, Josh Brolin, Ke Huy Quan, and Corey Feldman. The story follows Mikey (Astin), who accidentally discovers a hidden map which he believes will lead them to the long-lost treasure of pirate One-Eyed Willy. In order to save their homes from getting foreclosed, Mikey, his older brother, and friends embark on a once-in-a-lifetime treasure hunt, which means avoiding booby traps and fending off an Italian criminal family.

The Goonies was directed by Superman filmmaker Richard Donner from a screenplay by Chris Columbus, who would later be known for...

As The Gooniesmarks its 40th anniversary, the Richard Donner-directed film by writers Chris Columbus and Steven Spielberg is heading to a new streaming home in May. The film, which stars Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, Corey Feldman, Kerri Green, Martha Plimpton, andKey Huy Quan, will drop on Max on May 1.

The Goonies follows a group of misfits from The Goondocks who set out on an adventure to find treasure after discovering an ancient map. In April, Warner Bros. confirmed that the film is getting a sequel. Pam Abdy, Chair/CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures said that a Goonies revival, as well as a new Gremlins film, are in development. "We're super excited about Amblin developing with Chris Columbus, new entries in the Gremlins and Goonies franchises," she said.

Rumors of a Goonies sequel had been circulating for years before the recent confirmation. In February, it was reported that...

Two iconic movie franchises from the 1980s are officially being rebooted. Warner Bros. has finally verified that both Gremlins and The Goonieswill be revived.

Per Deadline, Pam Abdy, Chair/CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures confirmed that the movies are in development. In an interview that also updated fans on The Lord of the Rings’ new live-action film The Hunt For Gollum,Abdy also indicated that Gremlins and The Goonies will be back with new films. In February, it was reported that Warner Bros. was developing sequels to both Gremlins and The Goonies, but no other details were shared at that time.

“We’re super excited about Amblin developing with Chris Columbus, new entries in the Gremlins and Goonies franchises,” Abdy said.

After 40 years, The Goonies still never say die, as is evident by the recent news that a sequel to the beloved 1985 film is officially in the works by Stephen Spielberg and Chris Columbus. Reactions have undoubtedly been mixed, with some saying they can't wait to see what happens next, while others believe the original is a classic, and should be left alone. Regardless of how you feel, it appears as if The Goonies 2 is closer than ever to finally being made, and some of the original cast members recently explained what took so long, and why the new film will be "spectacular"

Appearing on The Today Show yesterday morning were some of the original cast members from The Goonies, including Corey Feldman, Sean Astin, Kerri Green, and Martha Plimpton. The subject of the sequel inevitably came up, as word broke in February that it was now in the works with Spielberg and Columbus producing,...

Ke Huy Quan has his "fingers crossed" for a sequel to ‘The Goonies’.The 53-year-old actor portrayed Richard ‘Data’ Wang in director Richard Donner’s 1985 kids’ movie, and after it was reported a second film was in the works with writer Chris Columbus and producer Steven Spielberg slated to return, Quan has now said he is "optimistic" the project will move forward.Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, he said: "Well, fingers crossed. We have an incredible writer writing the script. Chris Columbus, Spielberg, obviously, same creative team. Except we've been developing for a long time."I want to be optimistic this time around. Hopefully, it will happen soon."In January, Deadline reported a second ‘Goonies’ film was in development at Warner Bros., with Chris Columbus - who wrote the original movie with Spielberg - slated to return for the flick.Spielberg himself has also reportedly been tapped to return as producer.

Forty years have gone by since Cyndi Lauper let us know The Goonies “‘R’ Good Enough”… and now, it looks like they’re finally ready for a comeback! Last month, it was reported that Warner Bros. is developing new Gremlins and The Goonies films, with Chris Columbus (who wrote both of the original films) attached to at least one of those projects. As Deadline put it, WB was working on “a new Gremlins from Christopher Columbus and a Goonies treatment.” Now, Deadline has learned who’s writing the script for the sequel to The Goonies, and in the process has confirmed that Columbus is involved with both the Gremlins and Goonies revivals. Potsy Ponciroli, writer/director of the 2021 Western Old Henry is writing The Goonies sequel, with Chris Columbus on board to produce the film alongside Steven Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger, and Holly Bario of Amblin Entertainment. Lauren Shuler Donner,...

After four decades, The Goonies may finally be getting its sequel. While there have been rumors and rumblings for several years about a new movie happening, the latest development on The Goonies 2 comes with the long-gestating project gaining some much-needed momentum to make its way out of development hell.

Per Deadline, it's just been reported that Potsy Ponciroli (Old Henry) has signed on to write a Goonies sequel script for Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group. No information has yet been revealed about the planned story, and it's unclear exactly which characters from the original film are planned to return. No director has yet been named for the project as of this time. Steven Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger, and Holly Bario are producing for Amblin Entertainment alongside original Goonies writer Chris Columbus, while Lauren Shuler Donner will executive produce.

Ke Huy Quan may have one of the best Cinderella stories in Hollywood history. After rising to fame in the mid-1980s as a child actor in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” and “The Goonies,” Quan decided to step away from acting in the early ’90s, feeling disillusioned by the lack of non-stereotypical roles for Asian Americans. For decades, he found steady work as an assistant director and fight coordinator, but secretly harbored dreams of eventually returning to working in front of the camera.

In 2022, Quan burst back onto the scene as Waymond Wang, the affable husband of Michelle Yeoh’s disgruntled laundromat owner Evelyn, in the A24 multiverse film “Everything Everywhere All at Once” — a performance that earned him, among many other accolades, the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Since then, Quan has played a key role opposite Tom Hiddleston in the second season of Marvel...

Ke Huy Quan “would love” to appear in a sequel to ‘The Goonies’.The 53-year-old actor - who starred in director Richard Donner’s 1985 kids’ movie as Richard ‘Data’ Wang - reunited with his ‘Goonies’ co-stars Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin, Kerri Green, Jeff Cohen and writer Chris Columbus on Monday (03.02.25) at his hand-and-footprint ceremony at the Tcl Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, and Quan has now revealed seeing his fellow Goonies again has sparked his hopes for a follow-up film.Commenting on a potential sequel, the ‘Love Hurts’ star told Variety: “It’s one of the most asked questions in my life. I would love for it to happen.”Feldman - who played Clark ‘Mouth’ Devereaux in the flick - added he and co-star Sean Austin started developing a sequel roughly a decade ago, which they then pitched to the late Richard Donner.He explained: “Sean and I worked really hard on this,...

The Goonies never say die, even when it comes to a sequel. It’s been forty years since the release of the original movie, and there’s been talk of a follow-up for years. Will it ever happen? Who knows, but the cast is certainly game to return.

At Ke Huy Quan’s recent hand-and-footprint ceremony at the Tcl Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, the actor told Variety that getting asked about a potential sequel to The Goonies is “one of the most asked questions in my life,” but that he “would love for it to happen.” Much of the original cast showed up to support Quan, including Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen, Kerri Green, and screenwriter Chris Columbus.

Feldman added that he had been developing a potential sequel with Sean Astin a decade ago and had even pitched it to original director Richard Donner, who was excited by the...

Key Huy Quan thinks the last time he was in the same room with most of his “The Goonies” co-stars was at least 20 years ago. Corey Feldman thinks it was more like four decades ago at the film’s Los Angeles premiere in 1985.

Whatever the case may be, Quan was joined Monday at his hand-and-footprint ceremony at the Tcl Chinese Theatre in Hollywood by Feldman, Josh Brolin, Kerri Green, Jeff Cohen and director Chris Columbus. “I had an incredible ‘Goonies’ reunion this morning,” Quan told me Monday night at the premiere of his new action movie “Love Hurts.”

Nearly two years after Ke Huy Quan won an Oscar for his supporting role in Everything Everywhere All At Once, he is back on the big screen in his first leading man role.

Quan stars in Universal’s Love Hurts as Marvin Gable, a successful realtor whose past as a violent hitman comes back to haunt him. He initially turned down the romantic action comedy several times, admitting at the film‘s Los Angeles premiere on Monday, “I didn’t see myself as Marvin Gable because he’s the leading man and he’s No. 1 and he’s the action star. When I was younger, I wanted to be him, but because I didn’t get the chance I thought I wasn’t right for it.”

A conversation with Steven Spielberg — the two worked together on 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom — convinced him to take the chance and be No.

It’s been 40 years since The Goonies first said “Never say die” on the big screen. Recently, most of the cast gathered to recognize actor Key Huy Quan, who played Data in the 1985 The Gooniesmovie. Quan, who won an Academy Award in 2023 for his performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once, was honored with a hand and footprint ceremony at the Tcl Chinese Theater in Los Angeles on Feb. 3.

Per People, The Goonies screenwriter Chris Columbus along with Quan’s costars Corey Feldman (Mouth), Jeff Cohen (Chunk), Kerri Green (Andy), and Josh Brolin (Brand), were on hand for the ceremony. Brolin, who spoke at the ceremony, had nothing but kind things to say about Quan, who played Data in The Goonies.

Hey you guuuuyysssss! There have been several Goonies reunions over the years, which seemed to amp once Ke Huy Quan was hitting the awards circuit with Everything Everywhere All at Once, which eventually won him the Best Supporting Actor Oscar.

A teenage Josh Brolin quickly got humbled by Steven Spielberg while filming 1985’s The Goonies.

The actor, who’s now 56, recently looked back at his early acting days on a recent episode of SiriusXM’s Literally! With Rob Lowe, including his starring role as Brand Walsh in the beloved film, directed by Richard Donner.

“I think Goonies was quite an accident,” Brolin recalled. “I went in there, I’ve been told, they pulled the Brolin thing, ‘Are you [James] Brolin’s kid? You want to be an actor, huh?’ So instead of that nepotistic thing, they looked at me and were like, ‘Oh yeah? So act.'”

The Avengers star set out to prove himself as a serious actor, putting his head down in the books and hoping to learn as much as possible.

“I studied,” he said. “I got [Konstantin] Stanislavski books, [Jerzy] Grotowski…and Antonin Artaud and the Theatre of Cruelty.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost will be at Awesome Con. The actors shot to stardom together with a series of winning projects—most made with celebrated writer/director Edgar Wright—including the sitcom Spaced, the “zom-com” Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End. Both actors have also thrived in their own rights, with Frost appearing in projects like Attack the Block, Truth Seekers, and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew and Pegg in the Mission: Impossible series, the J.J.

A new ‘The Goonies’ movie is reportedly in the works at Warner Bros.According to Deadline, the studio is looking to shift its strategy to proven franchises, and so have put a sequel to the late Richard Donner’s 1985 adventure film into development. The follow-up flick will bring back ‘The Goonies’ co-scribe Chris Columbus - who wrote the original film with Steven Spielberg - to pen the story of the upcoming movie.As well as a second ‘Goonies’ picture, Columbus is also set to be writing the script for a new ‘Gremlins’ movie after he penned the treatment for the original 1984 film.While no details about a potential release date or cast are known, it is possible ‘The Goonies’ sequel will see the return of actors Josh Brolin, Ke Huy Quan, Sean Austin, Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen, Martha Plimpton and Kerri Green as the grown-up group of adventurous kids from the first movie.

After many years of rumors and false starts, The Goonies' long-awaited sequel may finally be on a positive development track. Richard Donner's 1985 classic saw a group of kids uncover the treasure map of a long-lost pirate captain, setting them on a quest to find it while avoiding the grip of a ruthless crime family. The Goonies cast featured Sean Austin, Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin, Ke Huy Quan, Jeff Cohen, Martha Plimpton, and Kerri Green as the titular group of young adventurers.

As Deadline reported on the shifting strategies of Warner Bros. for the 2025 calendar, the outlet reported that the studio seeks to fall back once more on several proven franchises alongside its filmmaker-driven projects. One such project was a new Goonies sequel, with Chris Columbus set to return and pen a treatment, having written the screenplay for the 1985 movie. Columbus has previously been reported to have been part of discussions with Donner,...

As the latest Star Wars TV show, Skeleton Crew, comes to an end, you might be feeling nostalgic for the 1980s. The series takes a lot of inspiration from movies from this decade and re-purposes them to fit into the galaxy far, far away. Skeleton Crew is about a bunch of misfit kids who find something strange in the woods and go on the adventure of a lifetime. It's a classic '80s story. If there had been a Star Wars live-action TV show around the time of the original trilogy, it may well have looked like this.

If you're looking for more of the same after Skeleton Crew, then you're in luck, as there's a huge number of movies available to plug the gap left by this show. They'll get you feeling nostalgic over bike rides, summer holidays, and amazing adventures with friends.

The Goonies - Why celebrate the...

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew now has three episodes out on Disney+, and the show has consistently drawn comparisons to one classic movie that has been revived on streaming nearly 40 years later. Josh Brolin stars alongside Sean Astin in The Goonies - the teen comedy following a group of young misfits who set out on an adventure after discovering an ancient map. The parallels between Skeleton Crew and The Goonies are hard to deny, and the comparisons between the two projects have helped lift The Goonies to the #6 spot on Max. In addition to Brolin and Astin, The Goonies also stars Ke Huy Quan, Corey Feldman, and Kerri Green, and the film sits at a 77% score from critics and a 91% rating from general audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

One of John Candy’s 80s classics from director Carl Reiner, Summer Rental, was pretty elusive on physical media. Fans of this comedy don’t have to wait any longer as the boutique label Kino Lorber will now be releasing a new 4K restoration Blu-ray transfer of the film at the start of the new year. Blu-ray.com is reporting that Summer Rental, which was previously scheduled to hit retailers this year, will now have its physical media release on January 21, 2025.

The 1985 comedy stars John Candy, Karen Austin, Kerri Green, Joey Lawrence, and Aubrey Jene and is directed by Dick Van Dyke Show alum and Ocean’s Eleven star, Carl Reiner, who would direct another summer-themed comedy with Mark Harmon, Summer School, just a couple years later.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie turns 35 years old in 2025, and Screen Rant will host a cast reunion at Awesome Con in Washington, DC. The long-running franchise about four crime-fighting, pizza-loving turtles began as a comic first published in 1984. Since then, the world of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has expanded to include toys, animated series, live-action and animated films, and video games. The 1990 live-action movie about the titular turtles, however, has remained one of the most enduring depictions.

Screen Rant is excited to announce that the site will host a 35th-anniversary reunion for one of the most beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles adaptations at Awesome Con 2025.

The Goonies Richard Donners beloved teen adventure from 1985 is landing on streaming service Max sooner than you can jump from a ship like a swashbuckling pirate. The film will start streaming on the platform on December 1, according to a press release from parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery.

Produced by Steven Spielberg through his company, Amblin, The Goonies was directed by Donner, who was returning to the industry after serving audiences with the widely panned comedy, The Toy. In 1985, he also released Ladyhawke, a passion project he had been trying to make for years, but The Goonies was much more prominent. Based on a story by Spielberg, and written by Chris Columbus (after the young writer proved his worth with Gremlins), The Goonies is a 1980s movie that perfectly captures the storytelling style of a filmmaker who didnt have to sit in the directors chair to let audiences know that he was involved in the project.

Nearly 40 years later, Josh Brolin still remembers Steven Spielberg‘s advice from the set of The Goonies.

Recounting the 1985 film as “probably the greatest experience of my life,” the Oscar nominee revealed what the producer told him on the set of the Richard Donner-helmed adventure comedy.

“I think [my character] Brandon is freaking out, and the tunnels represent the inside of his mother’s womb, and he’s trying to cut that umbilical cord,” he explained to People of his character analysis.

Spielberg had a more straightforward approach to the script, which he developed with writer Chris Columbus. “He looked at me, and he goes, ‘Yeah, just act. Just say what’s on the page.’ He wasn’t being an a—hole, he was right,” said Brolin.

The role of sweatband-donning big brother Brandon ultimately became Brolin’s breakout role, years before his acclaimed performances in No Country for Old Men...

Josh Brolin was 16 years old when he landed a role in “The Goonies.” He played Brandon “Brand” Walsh, a high-school jock and the older brother of Sean Astin’s Mikey. Speaking to People magazine ahead of the release of his memoir, “From Under the Truck,” Brolin remembered Steven Spielberg shutting down his super-intellectual approach for the teenage character.

“I think [my character] Brandon is freaking out, and the tunnels represent the inside of his mother’s womb, and he’s trying to cut that umbilical cord,” Brolin remembered pitching to Spielberg, who promptly disregarded such a take.

“He looked at me, and he goes, ‘Yeah, just act. Just say what’s on the page,'” Brolin said. “He wasn’t being an asshole, he was right.”

Brolin went on to call his “Goonies” role “probably the greatest experience of my life,” adding: “That was the moment at 16 years old which never should have happened.

Although Goonies never say die, there are few other words to describe the hopes for a potential sequel.

Corey Feldman and Martha Plimpton, who starred together in Steven Spielberg‘s The Goonies (1985), recently responded to reports that a sequel to the beloved movie is in the works with the original cast expected to return.

“2’Sday, Is #GOONIES2 Real?! EVERY1 Is Asking…I Can Officially Tell U 100% No! I Hav No Info That A Sequel Is In The Worx,” wrote Feldman on X, promoting the long-awaited premiere of his 2004 film The Birthday.

Plimpton also shot down the news while using the opportunity to engage fans in their civic duty. “People, there is no Goonies 2 script, there is no one ‘attached,’ Spielberg is not directing, it’s not real,” she shared in a post on Instagram. “What Is real is Check Your Registration And Vote!!!!”

Their posts come after The Sun reported...

The Goonies is a 1985 adventure comedy about a bunch of kids trying to save their homes from foreclosure; they succeed after an unlikely series of events involving pirate gold, organized crime, and of course, friendship. The movie stars the likes of Sean Astin (who went on to be Sam in The Lord of the Rings), Josh Brolin (who went on to be Thanos in the MCU), Ke Huy Quan (who won an Oscar for Everything Everywhere All At Once), Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen, Kerri Green and Martha Plimpton. The cast have agreed in the past that a sequel seems pretty much inevitable, but it hasn't happened yet...or has it?

No!...I think. The Sun spread a rumor earlier this month that the cast were reuniting for sequel all these years later, and cast members are now denying it in the strongest terms...while at least one of them pulls for it to happen.

Recent rumors of The Goonies 2 happening next year are, in fact, just that: rumors. Thats according to original stars Martha Plimpton and Corey Feldman, who say they have no knowledge that a sequel to the beloved 1985 classic is in the works at any film studio. A report from The Sun earlier this month suggested that a sequel to The Goonies was slated to begin production next year for a 2026 release, but thats not even remotely accurate.

Plimpton, who portrayed Stephanie Steinbrenner in the Richard Donner film, took to Instagram to dispel the rumors, saying that no one is attached to the supposed sequel, and Steven Spielberg is definitely not directing it. What is real, she says, is the upcoming presidential election, for which she urged people to check their voter registration.

Sad news for fans of “The Goonies” as a viral report claiming a sequel to Richard Donner’s 1985 classic is in development is not true. At least not at this time. The Sun claimed earlier this month that “The Goonies 2” would be filmed next summer with many of the original cast returning, but actors such as Corey Feldman and Martha Plimpton members shut down the report.

“People, there is no ‘Goonies 2’ script, there is no one ‘attached,'” Plimpton wrote on Instagram. “Spielberg is not directing, it’s not real. What Is real is Check Your Registration And Vote!!!!”

Feldman added in a post on X (formerly twitter) that he had “no information” whatsoever that a sequel was in development.

It appears one would have to go back to 2014 for the last time there was serious buzz about “The Goonies 2” being developed. Variety reported at the time that...

According to numerous reports in UK tabloids, the greenlight has been given for a sequel to the 1980s classic The Goonies.

Considering this has been on the cards for many years in Tinseltown, we like to take this news with a pinch of salt. However, according to The S*n and ‘its sources’, “The plan is to start developing the ideas for the follow-up next summer, with a possible release date of 2026 or 2027.”

“The original is so culturally significant, Warner Bros’ knows they have to get it totally right.

“Major stars will likely come back but the possibilities of where to take the sequel are endless.”

If the story is true, production is likely to commence next summer for a 2026/2027 release.

For our part, we recently spoke to Joe Pantoliano about the idea of a Goonies sequel, and how the original film has endured. His answer is below, at the time-stamped link.

Like all great films about the stormy passage through adolescence and high school, the 1986 coming-of-age film Lucas inspires a strong sense of curiosity regarding how the films teenage characters turned out as adults, even as the stars of the film have been immortalized over time. Lucas features early starring performances from Corey Haim and Charlie Sheen, whose tumultuous lives make their touching performances in the movie seem heartbreaking in retrospect. It also marked the screen acting debuts of Jeremy Piven, Courtney Thorne-Smith, and especially Winona Ryder, whose assured performance in the film heralded Ryders emergence as one of the most exciting and interesting young actresses of her generation.

One of John Candy’s 80s classics from director Carl Reiner, Summer Rental, was pretty elusive on physical media. Fans of this comedy don’t have to wait any longer as the boutique label Kino Lorber will now be releasing a new Blu-ray transfer of the film sometime this year. Blu-ray.com is reporting that Summer Rental will be hitting retailers in late 2024.

The 1985 comedy stars John Candy, Karen Austin, Kerri Green, Joey Lawrence, and Aubrey Jene. The plot description reads, “After air traffic controller Jack Chester loses a plane (it’s covered on his screen by a fly), he’s told to take a break. Jack books his family into a plush resort, but it turns out that their lodgings are in a hut by the beach, and that’s as good as the vacation gets.” Reiner would direct another summer-themed comedy with Mark Harmon, Summer School, just a couple years later.

The lasting popularity of The Goonies has resulted in massive profits through rentals, streaming, and merchandise sales. A sequel to The Goonies faces obstacles due to outdated character portrayals and the challenges of bringing back the original cast. While a sequel may be inevitable, Spielberg's high standards and the risk of disappointing fans could prevent its development.

Now this was a damn good Oscar Night.

The 95th Academy Awards show sure helped dispel the bad odor of the past few years. Watching the In Memoriam interlude last year, as a cheerleader squad honored dead people by singing “Spirit in the Sky,” I said aloud, “This show can’t possibly get any worse.” But saying this on Oscar Night is like a Mel Brooks movie where someone says, “At least it’s not raining.” Reader, it got worse. But this year was the zippiest, most fun Oscar bash in ages.
