Is the goonies 2 a sequel a reality or is just a rumor?
Rumors of a sequel to Goonies are inching closer and closer to reality. In an interview Sci-Fi Wire, writer Chris Columbus said that Joe Pantoliano – who portrayed one of the evil Fratellis in the original movie – has been discussing the project with director Richard Donner. “[Pantaliano] said that Richard Donner talked to him about six months ago about the sequel” Columbus said. “I think the only way it could be done is if the kids are now the parents, and their kids have become the Goonies. I still think the two brothers are still alive and well, so they could still be in the movie. So it’s a matter of whether or not they could re-create that concept.” Sources: http://www.reelmovienews.
We go through a lot of rumors here at Cinematical, some of which eventually turn out to be true and some false. We normally don’t spend a whole lot of time on each rumor; if we’re in a position to track down “the real truth” fairly easily, we’ll do so. If not, we’ll let it slide and see where it goes. The other day, Moviehole came out with some pretty big news: That Warner Bros. was in the beginning stages of putting together a Goonies sequel and that some of the original cast would be involved. Pretty BIG DEAL if you ask me — Goonies is, like, The Bible for some movie freaks (including me). That said, we simply had to put this rumor through the wringer. And while we were unable to track down Moviehole’s source, we did speak to multiple people “in the know” and they claim it’s not at all true. In fact, they suggest this Goonies sequel might be getting confused with a film called Treehouse Gang, which is very similar to Goonies and is actually being described as “Warner’s Goonies.” Tha
Goonies sequel rumors float around at least two or three times a year, and then never seem to go anywhere. Recently word was that any potential Goonies 2 project was probably dead, but now hey, they’re back. In a Corey Feldman interview with the LA Times, there’s some strange hinting about another Goonies movie. In the quotes from Feldman included with the article, Corey himself never actually says anything about Goonies at all. But the Times still claims that he told them a Goonies sequel is in the works.
