The wait for The Goonies 2 may be a long one, but Josh Brolin offers some insight into the sequel’s development.
The News About The Goonies 2
In a recent interview, the actor revealed that Steven Spielberg is still holding the keys to the treasure chest, with five scripts written so far. But why has the project been stuck in limbo? Spielberg’s pickiness and high standards may be the reason. Brolin, who played Brandon Walsh in the 1985 cult classic, expressed his hope that the sequel would happen, citing the great experience he had making the original.
The Goonies, directed by Richard Donner and written by Chris Columbus and Spielberg, followed a group of kids who uncovered a pirate treasure map and went on a wild adventure. With a modest budget of $19 million, the film grossed over $64 million worldwide and gained legendary status over the years.
Back in February, Warner Bros. announced that Potsy Ponciroli was brought on to write a script for the long-awaited sequel, with Spielberg returning as producer. But since that announcement, everything’s gone quiet, making it pretty clear that The Goonies 2 is still in the very early stages of development.
Final Thoughts
As it stands, returning to the franchise is alive, but far from guaranteed. And with Spielberg still holding the keys to the treasure chest, fans may be waiting a while longer to see if Mikey and the gang will ever reunite on the big screen.
