It seems that, after approximately 4,867 years of rumour, a live-action sequel to The Goonies is not going to happen. But the recent rumours that an animated sequel series may get the go ahead are apparently very much true. Corey Feldman (Mouth in the movie) recently told MTV that he'd been approached to return as an older version of his character for a cartoon series, in which the original Goonies would be all growns up and with adventuring kids of their own. And now Jonathan Ke Quan has told Empire exclusively that he and Jeff Cohen (Chunk) have been asked to lend their talents too. "We were approached a few months ago by Warner about doing it and asked if we would be interested," said Ke Quan. "They even showed us character designs. It looks very cool". Though Cohen now works as an entertainment lawyer, he could be persuaded to come back. "I spoke with Jeff," continues Quan. "All of us are very interested, if the story is right. I am sure whatever Steven (Spielberg) and Dick (Donner) think of will be good enough for us Goonies to come aboard". If the Goonies are to return, this sounds like a pretty good way to do it. It's encouraging that Spielberg and Donner are involved and kudos to Warners for wanting to get the original team back together, rather than getting new actors to fill the voice roles. So, how do you feel about this news? Are you hyped to see the Goonies return?

Ah Well.
When Iread te Title Goonies 2 I was a little excited. I saw the original when I was a wee lad and funnily enough only bought the DVD yesterday but an animated film? I'd prefer to sse the guys in the flesh, older,thogh probably not wiser etc. When I think animated it doesn't feel lke a proper sequel just some kind of 'slap it together and ge it out while the time is right'. ... Read More Highnoon About me

They should make a movie version where the goonies discover where 1 eye willie's ship went to, but need to rush to get the treasure before china does. I did write this idea to steven speilberg, so he could still make it. ... Read More aussietrooper20 About me

Hmmm.
I'd prefere it to be a live action film. It just seems odd to swap media like this. Its not like they have to hide the fact that they're all older. Although i will admit that, as Wes Clough pinted out, Monster House was rather Goonieish. If it was done in that kinda stylised mo-cap i think it may just work. Just... ... Read More jimoakley666 About me

Goonies 2!!!!!! am I Hyped? well I was born in 79 and am alive. yes I'm excited by the prospect of Goonies 2. then I read the word animated. why? do they really mean to rape the memories of u all by making the Goonies a cartoon? no way Chunk's belly-wobble will work without live action. and that's just for starters. ... Read More Adrian About me

This sounds quite good and the only way I could see it...
...working. Live action or cgi, who cares. If Spielberg gets Indy right again, and Donner doesnt stay on Lethal Weapon 4 mode, this could actually be very good. And why the hell hasnt anyone had the bright idea of tuirning the goonies into a video game. Er hello!!! Money printing machine!!! In fact, give it to Rockstar (GTA makers) and I bet they could turn something pretty awesome out of it. ... Read More coomi01 About me
