The Goonies 2 has received a positive update from writer Potsy Ponciroli.
Released in 1985, The Goonies is the classic adventure comedy directed by Richard Donner. Featuring a screenplay by Chris Columbus and a story by Steven Spielberg, the movie stars Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, Corey Feldman, Kerri Green, Ke Huy Quan, and Martha Plimpton.
There’s been talk about making a sequel to The Goonies for many years; however, it wasn’t until February 2025 that it was officially announced that The Goonies 2 was happening at Warner Bros. Pictures.
What is The Goonies 2 update?
Speaking at an event at the Venice Film Festival, via Deadline, Ponciroli gave a positive update regarding The Goonies 2’s script.
“I have turned in a first draft, which was very well received, and I’m on a second draft,” Ponciroli said. “I’m about 95% done with that, so we’re moving in the right direction…I know there’s a lot of ‘do we need a new Goonies,’ but I’m the biggest fan of the original, it’s my favorite movie of all time. I’d never ‘redo’ The Goonies. To me, it was a story that never ended, so this is the movie I want to see as one of its biggest fans.”
No director is yet attached to The Goonies 2, and no plot details have been revealed. It’s currently unclear which cast members from the first movie will return for the sequel. Spielberg and Columbus are both returning to produce the new Goonies alongside Kristie Macosko Krieger, and Holly Bario, while Lauren Shuler Donner serves as an executive producer.
A release date for The Goonies 2 has not yet been set.
The original Goonies, meanwhile, is currently available to purchase or rent on various digital outlets such as Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Fandango at Home, and more.
