Sorry, But the Ship Has Sailed on a 'Goonies' Legacy Sequel
There have always been talks about a sequel to the 1980s adventure classic The Goonies, but maybe a legacy sequel is a bad idea.
If the successes of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and Top Gun: Maverick prove anything, it's that signature '80s cinematic classics are serious money for Hollywood's legacy sequel business. Among the many classics being eyed for a follow-up 40 years after its release is Richard Donner’s teen adventure comedy The Goonies. While the 1985 Steven Spielberg production remains one of the most beloved movies for the children of the ‘80s, producing a follow-up with aged-out stars and without the original director at the helm is an extremely tall task.
