This is a cult movie for the entire generation! Is it planned to continue?

Will Richard Donner’s cult film The Goonies, written and produced by Steven Spielberg, have a sequel?

That’s the question that’s been buzzing around the internet since yesterday’s release of the movie’s poster with the title “Guns are good enough“, which are accompanied by words “Steven Spielberg’s film“.

Will Steven Spielberg direct a Goonies sequel?

Was the legendary director going to remake the film? Richard DonnerIn theaters after 40 years? The answer will disappoint those who dream of seeing a sequel to the film that defined an entire generation.

No second Goonies opus or remake is officially in the works right now, much less Steven Spielberg, who is already busy with his Alien movie with Emily Blunt.

remind you Guns The action takes place in Astoria, a modest and quiet port city on the west coast. Too quiet for the liking of its young inhabitants… “Nothing happens here,” one sighed sadly one day.

Thirteen-year-old Mickey Walsh has just uttered one of those fateful sentences that sometimes heralds the strangest, craziest, and most fun adventures.

“Social Media in 2024: 1 – Create a fun concept poster for a Goonies sequel, 2 – Post it and say, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool to see a Goonies sequel?’, 3 – Someone uses it to spread fake news about a sequel, 4 – It happens Trending, 5 – Now we have fake news about an official sequel (not true)”

Fake poster

Slogan written on the poster “A new adventure is calling“(A New Adventure Awaits) suggests it’s a sequel. The film’s title is also inspired by Cyndi Lauper’s song, “Goonies ‘R’ is good enoughTaken from the 1985 film soundtrack.

However, this is a fake poster. This followed a tabloid statement the sun – known for spreading false information – which reported in its column on Saturday, September 6 that a sequel to the 1985 cult film is in the works, with the original cast presumably returning.

According to “the source” (who? We don’t know), “The long-debated Gooies reboot finally got the green light. The plan is to start filming next summer for a 2026 or 2027 release.

The original is so culturally important that Warner Bros. knows they have to get it right. It’s likely that the main stars will return, but the possibilities for what’s next are endless.“

A sequel that “won’t last”

This Monday’s poster therefore follows up on this unreliable information. On the other hand, a sequel to The Goonies has been discussed for years. In April 2020, Steven Spielberg Said Josh Gadd on the Reunited Apart show:

“We’ve had a lot of conversations about continuing. Every couple of years we get an idea, but it doesn’t hold water.” The producer and screenwriter of the original film believes that the bar in the genre is so high that it was impossible to find a better idea than the Goonies of the 80s.

Warner Bros. is affiliated with us. France confirms that there is no official film in the works. However, a statement from Warner Bros. of a Goonies 2 would come as no surprise given the Hollywood industry’s current obsession with sequels and remakes of iconic films starring the stars of the original films.

Note that a series called Our Time created by Sarah Watson (announced 2021) is in the works for Disney+. In this show, a teacher helps her students recreate the original Richard Donner film. It is still unclear whether Josh Brolin, Sean Astin and Oscar winner Ke Hui Kwan will reprise their roles 40 years later.
