In the year 1985, Warner Brother Pictures blessed audiences with The Goonies. This is the classic take on adventurous kids trying to save the day or their house when they stumble upon a treasure map that leads them on a journey of a lifetime. The film was created with a budget of 19 million dollars and accumulated $125 million in box office revenue. This does not include all the success the film continues to have after the initial release. With all that success, it is not a surprise that the original cast wants to come back and make another film. A possible name has been thrown around and is gaining popularity, which is Goonies Never Say Die.

The Cast

The Goonies starred Sean Astin as Mikey, who had massive success in Lord of the Rings, Rudy, and 50 First Dates. The cast list also included Corey Feldman, who played Mouth; Josh Brolin was cast as Mikey’s older brother, another actor who has continued their success far beyond The Goonies. Jeff Cohen, or Chunks, now makes his living as an entertainment lawyer, and Ke Huy Quan celebrates being an Oscar winner now long after his role as Data. Originally, the studio wanted to come out with a sequel, but it never made it past the pre-production stages. Meanwhile, the cast wasn’t that excited about taking the roles back up again after the success had surmounted.

The Return

After 40 years of success and an established legacy, The Goonies has been greenlit for a sequel. Warner Brothers Pictures has given a very loose release time frame of 2027. While that is a little over two years away, Warner Bros. Pictures understands how culturally important the original is; therefore, they want to make the sequel perfect. With a million directions the sequel plot could go, no one knows what the group will be up to in the next installment because there is no script yet. However, with a gold mine like The Goonies, you can anticipate the studios will release tons of teasers to build hype around the production and release.

Final Thoughts

Recently, sequels have been in the crosshairs of online critics due to their mass production and attempts to take advantage of their audience’s nostalgia. Studios aren’t slowing down with that formula, hence the buzz online about the Goonies sequel. With little to be known about the future production of the sequel, fans spread all kinds of rumors online, trying to predict details including plots, characters, and cast members. Regardless, fans will be excited to know that most of the cast will make a return in the sequel.
