\n\tWhile The Goonies<\/a> has long inspired hopes of a sequel, star Josh Brolin<\/a> isn\u2019t embarking on that quest just yet.<\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking to Entertainment Tonight<\/a> at the premiere of Zach Cregger\u2019s much-anticipated horror film Weapons, Brolin explained his hesitation toward a potential followup and what it would take to get him onboard.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI hope it does [happen] because the experience was so great,\u201d he the outlet. \u201cThe movie is received so well, generation after generation. It\u2019s just everything good about it. The trepidation that I have is that you release something else that taints that. I don\u2019t want to taint what my memory of it [is].\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Oscar nominee then joked about what the sequel\u2019s storyline would entail, given the fact that its release would come over four decades after the 1985 debut of the classic adventure comedy about a group of misfit kids hunting treasure in a bid to save their house from foreclosure.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, we came out with another,\u2019 and then the Goonies grew up, and then they came out with their walkers and then they fell off a cliff because they couldn\u2019t see very well, like, what are you going to do? I don\u2019t know. Maybe it could be great. If it\u2019s great, you\u2019ll know, like if [story writer Steven] Spielberg approves it, you know it\u2019s going to be good. But I think there\u2019s been five scripts so far through the years and he hasn\u2019t approved anything yet \u2014 so me being picky, Spielberg is picky, and he has a reason to be because he has great taste.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Dune star\u2019s comments come several months after Deadline broke the news that the Goonies, indeed, never say die: Traction appears to be gaining on The Goonies 2<\/a>, with Potsy Ponciroli<\/a>\u00a0coming aboard to pen the script for\u00a0Warner Bros<\/a>. While there is no filmmaker currently attached (the late Richard Donner helmed the original), Steven Spielberg<\/a>, Kristie Macosko Krieger and Holly Bario will produce for Amblin Entertainment alongside original scribe Chris Columbus, with Lauren Shuler Donner executive producing. <\/p>\n

\n\tPlot details are currently under wraps, and news of the sequel\u2019s\u00a0development came just weeks after a cast reunion at TCL Chinese Theatre, in celebration of Ke Huy Quan\u2019s hand and foot imprint ceremony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While The Goonies has long inspired hopes of a sequel, star Josh Brolin isn\u2019t embarking on that quest…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":114360,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[171,32743,53,2407,59617,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-114359","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-josh-brolin","10":"tag-movies","11":"tag-steven-spielberg","12":"tag-the-goonies","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114962151795880360","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=114359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114359\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=114359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=114359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=114359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
