This 12 months marks the fortieth anniversary of The Goonies, the traditional journey film which follows a bunch of children trying to find the misplaced treasure of the legendary pirate One-Eyed Willy. A sequel to The Goonies has been talked about for years, nevertheless it by no means appeared like it will actually occur. Nevertheless, Warner Bros. lastly confirmed it earlier this 12 months, tapping Potsy Ponciroli (Outdated Henry) to write down the script.
Ke Huy Quan, who performed Richard “Data” Wang within the authentic, is keen to return and provided an replace on the sequel whereas talking with ComicBook.com. “I first heard about it when I saw Steven Spielberg at an event and he was so excited,” Quan stated. “We attempt to do it, so let’s manifest it. I do know we’ve been attempting for the final 40 years, however I really feel fairly good about it. This time, Chris Columbus and Spielberg are growing it, now we have an unbelievable author. I imply, I learn he turned within the second draft and so they’re actually glad about it. I used to be telling Fortune (Feimster, Zootopia 2 co-star), I stated we’re gonna do it. I need her to be in it.“

Authentic screenwriter Chris Columbus is on board as a producer, as is Steven Spielberg, however this appears like a type of initiatives that may’t hope to reside as much as 40 years’ value of hype. The unique is so beloved amongst followers that new generations proceed to find the heart-warming journey. Very similar to authentic star Josh Brolin, I’m a little bit apprehensive. “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],” Brolin stated earlier this 12 months. “It’s like, ‘Oh, we came out with another,’ after which the Goonies grew up, after which they got here out with their walkers after which they fell off a cliff as a result of they couldn’t see very nicely. What are you going to do? I don’t know.“
