Richard Donner Never Says Die, He and Corey Feldman Add Fuel to The Goonies Sequel Fire
He'll probably make us all do the truffle shuffle if we want to see it, though.
Rumors of a Goonies sequel have been flying for some time, but now the film’s director, Richard Donner, has added some credibility to them by flat out saying that it’s happening. It’s still possible that he was just trying to get TMZ off his back at the autograph signing session where he mentioned it, but he left it in no uncertain terms.
While being heckled about comic book movies, which Donner has been involved in several times during his career, he was asked if he’d ever do another one. Whether he said it just to change the subject, he replied, “If you call Goonies a comic book. We’re doing a sequel.” He also said that he’d like to see the original cast (Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, Corey Feldman, Kerri Green, Ke Huy Quan and Martha Plimpton) return if at all possible.
Now you can see why I think he might’ve just wanted to change the subject, but hopefully, Donner wouldn’t just toy with our fragile hearts and throw Goonies sequel talk around lightly.
Of course, these comments have exploded the Internet, and Corey Feldman responded on Twitter and made it seem even more like a sure thing, even if it’s in the early stages.
