Chris, Dick and I – and Lauren [Shuler Donner] – we had many conversations about this. Every two years we come up with an idea, but it never sticks. The problem is that you guys have raised the bar so high for this genre that we’ve never been able to find a better idea than The Goonies we did in the ’80s.”
