Richard Donner announced that Goonies 2 is officially in the works.

Sean Astin Says "The Goonies 2 Will Be Magic Like The First One"



Have you given any thought? Would you watch it? as it's not a remake... that's a good thing.



I'm a BIG fan of the original of course.. so I'll see part 2 for sure.

I wonder what the story will be...maybe the kids of the old characters need to get together again for something similar? Anyway I love the first movie and I would also love to see something as entertaining again, but from experience I can say that doing a sequel after decades usually doesn't work that well. I will give that one the benefit of the doubt though.

Yeah!  Kind of like Lost Boys 2 & 3...oh wait those sucked!

I think there's a certain magic in having a wonderful film that stands alone. Going back and adding to it years later is just a horrible idea.
This is my awesome signature.  Jealous?

I've read concept ideas for the Goonies 2 on http://thegoonies.org/ for more then 7 years now...

some really great ideas, guys. Some almost perfect. I hope Richard Donner was reading them too.  :wink:

I understand. But we can only hope at this point. I'll still give it a go.  :smile:

Wy? No, I know why. It's just not something I have any interest in seeing. I know the original has it fans, but when I saw it on TV, I thought it was one of the worst things I ever sat all the way thru.

Actor Robert Davi has said he is going to be in it, which means a big pay check for him and for others who are in it or making it, which is most always to the good.

As for the "Lost Boys .  . ." They waited to long to do sequels, and they did the wrong sequels. "Lost Boys" should have been followed by "Lost Girls," with girls instead of boys as the vampires.
