Goonies Sequel 2014: Will Goonies 2 Be a Musical? Stephen Spielberg Wrote The Story, What's Chris Columbus Going to Do?

Goonies Sequel 2014: Goonies never die. But it's taking a long time to bring Goonies back to life. It looks like everyone's coming back to The Goon Docks.  The Goonies, the classic treasure hunting adventure that Richard Donner directed and Steven Spielberg produced adventure story is getting a sequel. Steven Spielberg, who executive produced and was credited for the story of the original film is apparently the mastermind behind the idea for the sequel.

The Goonies, the classic treasure hunting adventure that Richard Donner directed and Steven Spielberg produced adventure story is getting a sequel.

Goonies director Richard Donner told everyone, via TMZ of all places, "We're Doing A Sequel." Then Donner let it drop that Steven Spielberg wrote the story for 'The Goonies 2.′

Then Corey Feldman and Sean Astin leaked that Goonies 2 had Chris Columbus on board.

Sean Astin and Corey Feldman, who starred in the original cult classic, recently dished on a 'Goonies' sequel to HuffPost Live, promising "'It will be a thing." They also let spill that Chris Columbus is on board in the writer's galley.

Corey Feldman crashed a segment with Sean Astin that HuffPost Live was broadcasting on Wednesday. Feldman took to his webcam to reveal to say he and Astin are great friends, He also gave some details about the rumored sequel to The Goonies.

Astin played Mikey and Feldman played Mouth. Astin says Goonies 2 is is being mapped out by Steven Spielberg, who produced and wrote the story for the original. Astin said "When Steven, who ultimately is the decision-maker on this, when he has felt the magic and he and [Goonies director Richard Donner] are in agreement, which I believe will happen, then it'll be a thing." 

Corey Feldman and Sean Astin both admitted that they were surprised when Donner chose TMZ as the outlet to say a Goonies sequel was coming.

Astin said the original screenwriter Chris Columbus would be back in some capacity and that producers are "actively trying to secure a writer based on an outline that they feel really confident about." So if Chris Columbus isn't writing it, what will he be doing? Writing lyrics maybe?

Astin said Steven Spielberg is the ultimate decision-maker. A couple years ago Spielberg told a media outlet that was talking with Chris Columbus about taking a Goonies musical sequel to Broadway. The name Tim Long, who writes the funny musical bits on "The Simpsons," was mentioned. The rumor is that a musical treatment on Goonies was delivered up.

Back in 2011, Richard Donner told The Sun: "We're really trying extraordinarily hard to get it made. It's a tough road, Broadway is another world totally, and hopefully, probably around September, we'll be talking positively. We have Tim Long doing the book (writing the music and lyrics for a stage show) and it's quite good. The process on Broadway is another world. But if we're going there with Goonies, which has such a great following, a great life, it has got to be the right thing. Hopefully we'll be presenting it to you in the spring of the following year. Goonies has an incredible following, and we must be true to it. Hopefully Broadway accepts what has worked for Goonie fans before. If they do, we're a hit but if they don't..."

"The Goldbergs" did it last year.

 Adam F. Goldberg told TV guide "The Goonies is my favorite movie of all time. It's the reason I'm a writer. I've seen it a billion times. I would reenact it. I wrote Goonies scripts as a kid. I collect props and memorabilia. They had an anniversary reunion in Astoria [Oregon] and my wife wouldn't let me go, and it was heartbreaking. We had a new baby and she was like, 'You are not leaving me with a new baby and a 5-year-old to go and try to get the Goonies to sign your movie poster.' Maybe the 40th reunion I'll go. But I am so excited I get to do this."

Corey Feldman has been practicing.
