I thought Chunk wasn't chunky anymore? Is he going to bulk up for the role?
Not sure how I feel about this. "The Goonies" was one of my fave flicks in the mid-80's, but watching the DVD wasn't as much fun as I remember. The curse of growing up, I suppose.

I'll believe it when I see it. There have been rumors about G2 for over a full decade. At one time it was going to be a "vehicle" for the return of the two Coreys, in addition to the crew of the first film. And then it was going to be a new group of kids for a new generation of film-watchers. Now we have a combination of the two. Good luck, I want to see it happen, but I'm not holding my breath.

Err... I don't know what to think. The wacky dialect thing - it just sounds bad. I'd rather have Joey Pants and his brothers return for revenge on the now grown up Goonies... better yet, I think I'd rather they leave well enough alone.

Re: Goonies 2 News!
I'd like to see an animated Goonies.

Re: Goonies 2 News!
With the state of Hollywood today i'm surprised they're doing a sequel rather than a remake.
How do we know that Key Hu Kwan and Jeff Cohen can even still act as adults? They haven't done anything for years on screen.
My point is getting them could end up being detrimental to this thing rather than help it.

Re: Goonies 2 News!
It would interesting if they could pull this off...something that would appeal to nostalgic adults and their kids. Good luck!
I was a little too old for the original and avoided it. Finally caught it late 80s or early 90s and thought it was great! I still like the original even though I'm in my 40s.
Animated is definitely a great way to go. My guess is this will materialize as a TV show instead of a feature film.

Hey, don't knock it, i've been waiting years for a sequel to that one lol.
Actually, i've wanted a sequel to
The Breakfast Club too, I always thought it would be funny if John Bender became a cop or something like that.

I'd like a Gremlins 3. One that returns to the horror/comedy roots, rather than the complete Airplane-like slapstick of G2.

I always thought the sequel should be "Jeanne Beuller's Day Off"... but an adult Ferris was always an interesting idea too. If John Hughes weren't so reclusive, I would imagine someone would have convinced him to cook up something.

A bit off-topic, but they were working on a third part. Only, Joe Dante wanted to bring the puppets and Stop-motion animation back, while the suits wanted to do them all-CGI. Things got halted after that, I thing.

Re: Goonies 2 News!
Even more excited than I was to hear Goonies 2 was in production. I started thinking....The Goonies dvd is always in a bin at walmart for cheap money and skimping in features. Perhaps this will prompt a special edition dvd of the original..
Also, several years back I heard that Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit fame (when they were still popular and he was starting to direct music video's) was in talks to re-make the Breakfast Club. I always had mixed feelings about that.

I remember hearing that Terry Jones (from Monty Python) wrote a Gremlins sequel script that was supposedly well-received, but would have been too expensive and difficult to film pre-CGI. I don't know whether that's true or not, but it would have been interesting to read.
