‘Goonies 2’ Is in the Works. Seriously.

These days pretty much every popular movie and television show from the '80s and '90s is getting a remake or a reboot.

Not The Goonies, though. Although a remake of the 1985 cult classic would make all kinds of sense, according to director Richard Donner, they're not doing a remake. They're doing a sequel. And I'm not talking one of those sequels that aren't really sequels because they have entirely new casts, like Home Alone 3. Donner says he hopes to get everyone from the original Goonies to return.

Of course, reuniting the original cast 30 years later may prove to be a slight challenge. Jonathan Ke Quan (Data) and Kerri Green (Andy) have barely acted since The Goonies, so they might be a little rusty. Meanwhile, Jeff Cohen (Chunk) hasn't acted at all and is now a lawyer, Corey Feldman (Mouth) is playing hard to get—because he's got so many things going right now—and John Matuszak (Sloth) is dead.

But hey, at least Sean Astin (Mikey) is game.

Needless to say, if Goonies 2 actually does happen, it will be huge. After all, who wouldn't want to see the Truffle Shuffle brought into the 21st century?
