The Goonies Is Getting A Sequel Nearly 30 Years Later

1985 was a momentous year. Not only was yours truly ushered into the world which in itself would be enough, but audiences also got to see such iconic films as Back to the Future, The Breakfast Club, and of course The Goonies. Directed by Richard Donner, best known for his work on Superman: The Movie and part of its sequel, The Goonies was reasonably well received in its time but has since become a cult classic, reintroduced again and again to younger viewers.

Today, a video was posted on TMZs website featuring Donner himself answering questions posed by the person filming him while signing autographs. When asked if he would be making any more comic book films, his answer was "If Goonies is a comic book movie. We're doing a sequel." He went on to say that the whole cast will be returning, "hopefully".

If you've read my articles on Sequels, Reboots and Remakes, you probably guessed that I'm up for this. The nostalgia of the first film would drive people to the cinema in droves and if Josh Brolin and Sean Astin can be convinced to come back, the star power will be there as well. What is shocking to me, though, is how chill the internet is being about this! Of course the usual "Everything doesn't need a sequel" posts are out there, but I've read more positive than negative comments.

Optimism looks good on you, Internet.
