The Goonies 2 Moves Forward With Spielberg and Columbus Steering Sequel

Potsy Ponciroli is scripting the sequel under Steven Spielberg’s close review after five previous drafts were rejected.

Overview

  • Warner Bros. has confirmed early development of The Goonies 2 with Steven Spielberg, Chris Columbus, Kristie Macosko Krieger and Holly Bario producing.
  • Potsy Ponciroli is writing the screenplay, but the project still lacks a director and any officially confirmed cast members.
  • Josh Brolin has voiced trepidation about a follow-up, warning that only Spielberg’s blessing would ensure the sequel honors the original.
  • At least five different sequel scripts have circulated since 1985, yet none have met Spielberg’s exacting standards for approval.
  • Ke Huy Quan has publicly stated he would be open to reprising his role as Data if the creative team delivers a worthy story.
