The Goonies Cast Reunites After 40 Years to Reveal Secrets About the Sequel

by

Refusing to give up, they had consistently avoided discussing a follow-up for quite some time. However, it seems that patience has paid off as there’s now a sequel in production… yet, the original actors have not been privy to many details about it.

Lately, the primary actors from the Goonies film reunited for a movie reunion, discussing various topics including their camaraderie and on-set antics. However, the chat couldn’t help but veer towards updates about a potential sequel. Nick McLean, the cinematographer, sparked curiosity among fans by inquiring, “Since Richard Donner has passed away, who would be in charge of directing it now?

It’s commonly assumed that Steven Spielberg would be involved, but it’s also worth considering who among the cast has been officially invited back. According to Joey Pantoliano, “They’ve been discussing” the project. However, as far as he knows, there hasn’t been any contact made with him personally.

It seems unlikely that a new Goonies movie wouldn’t feature the original cast, as their involvement would make it feel more authentic. However, Kerri Green suggested that the original cast may have small roles or cameos in the upcoming sequel, which could potentially be exciting news for fans.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but wonder if we might be looking at the offspring of the original characters. However, with limited information available, it’s challenging to make any definitive statements. From what’s been hinted so far, it doesn’t seem overly promising for those hoping to see the original cast back together on the big screen.

In truth, some well-known figures are part of the project. Chris Columbus, who penned the initial script, is serving as the producer, and Steven Spielberg will be overseeing the production. Furthermore, Lauren Shuler Donner, wife of the late Richard Donner, has also joined the team in an executive producing role.

The Goonies Crew Are Still Close

The Guardian interview underscored the fact that the Goonies cast had an unbreakable bond, as Corey Feldman put it, “We were like one big family.” He, Martha Plimpton, and Sean Astin took on the roles of the older siblings, while the younger ones were akin to the younger siblings. They shared deep affection for each other, yet also had their fair share of squabbles and disagreements. Ultimately, they became inseparable friends. Spending five months together at such a young age was essentially like living a lifetime together.

Here’s to hoping the Goonies sequel can capture the same thing.
