Talk of a Goonies Sequel Heats Up

Rumors of a sequel to Goonies are inching closer and closer to reality.

In an interview Sci-Fi Wire, writer Chris Columbus said that Joe Pantoliano - who portrayed one of the evil Fratellis in the original movie - has been discussing the project with director Richard Donner.

"[Pantaliano] said that Richard Donner talked to him about six months ago about the sequel" Columbus said. "I think the only way it could be done is if the kids are now the parents, and their kids have become the Goonies. I still think the two brothers are still alive and well, so they could still be in the movie. So it's a matter of whether or not they could re-create that concept."
