Goonies Sequel 2014: Steven Spielberg Writes The Story for Goonies 2; Goonies Never Die

Goonies Sequel 2014: The Goonies 2 is reportedly in the works and Richard Donner, the director of the original cult movie The Goonies says the sequel might be based around a new story from original writer, producer and second unit director, Steven Spielberg.

'The Goonies' sequel is in the works and Steven Spielberg has written a story for the sequel. The Oscar-winning director of "Jaws," "ET" and "Schindler's List, Spielberg was the writer, producer and second unit director on the original Goonies film, which starred Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin, Sean Astin and Martha Plimpton.

Goonies director Richard Donner has been keeping played news of the sequel fairly secret, like asking "What's The Goonies?" when people ask him about the sequel, revealed that "of course" Mr. Spielberg is involved. Spielberg came up with a new storyline, but plot details have yet to be divulged.

Donner said "Steven came up with the idea of doing a sequel after 30 years. You don't do [a "Goonies" sequel] without him. Hopefully we're going to get this done, period. You don't do it without him. We've been trying for a long time, then he came up with another storyline and he's right on."

Donner wasn't as forthcoming when he was asked if any of the film's original cast would appear in the Goonies 2. Asked if Josh Brolin, Sean Astin or Corey Feldman would search for Goonies treasure, Donner said, "God knows, it's up to them. If they have any sense they will; if they don't, they won't."

Rumors about "Goonies 2" have been circulating since the first movie came out. The 1985 film was written by Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus and was listed as one of the top box office hits of that year. It looks like those rumors are beginning to pan out. Richard Donner, who directed the original Goonies, recently said he wants to reunite Mikey, Brand, Chunk, Data and Mouth for Goonies 2. The Goonies' sequel will find the stars of the first film, now with children of their own, reuniting 20 years later to solve a new mystery.

There's no word yet on when The Goonies 2 is expected to start filming.
