Goonies Sequel 2014: Donner Says Stephen Spielberg Is In for Goonies 2; Already Has Script Idea

Goonies Sequel 2014: Richard Donner let it out that Steven Spielberg is on board for the "Goonies" sequel. Spielberg wrote the story and was the executive producer for the original 1985 cult hit. Donner revealed  that Spielberg came up with a new story for the project

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.

Donner told TMZ about Spielberg, saying "Hopefully we're going to get this done, period. Spielberg came up with the idea of doing a sequel after 30 years. You don't do it without him, and he came up with another storyline and he's right on."

28 years ago, Goonies introduced young actors Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin, Sean Astin, Jeff Cohen and Martha Plimpton to the big screen. According to producer and director Richard Donner, the Goonies sequel should include the full original cast.  

Feldman later tweeted that he trusts Donner and will get back to fans as the sequel progresses.  "It can't be done without a perfect script! We all must be certain that it doesn't miss the magic of the original."

Feldman played Clark 'Mouth' Devereaux in "The Goonies" when he was 13 Corey Feldman is now 42. He starred in the classic films "Stand By Me" and "The Lost Boys." But he went from up and coming star to reality TV celeb on a a show with the late Corey Haim. 

The Goonies was Sean Astin's first movie. Astin was 15 years old when he played Mickey Walsh in the Goonies.While he was promoting "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" last year, Sean Astin told IGN "It will happen. I'm 1000 percent certain there will be a sequel. I will bet my children on it."

Sean Astin recently said he's not going to let himself get too worked up about the possibility of a Goonies 2 movie. He said  "[Richard] said he wanted everybody to come back and if that's true I can't imagine, it wouldn't work out. They've wanted to do a sequel since the first one came out."

Astin continued, "It was huge hit movie when it came out, and it's sort of ready made for sequel style material. They just couldn't figure out the balance between us and the kids. If Dick [Donner] says the sequel is going forward, they must have found the magic ... I've always said I'm open for everything."If you're between the ages of 20 and 35, chances are you have some pretty strong feelings about Richard Donner's 1985 film "The Goonies." 

When TMZ asked director Richard Donner if he would do another comic book movie after his 1986 cult classic, Donner said "If you call 'Goonies' a comic book. We're doing a sequel."
