Will The ‘Goonies’ Sequel EVER Happen? The Answer Is Yes, According To Sean Astin

We know, we know. It seems like every year we’re introduced to more rumors surrounding this possible Goonies sequel. It’s been 30 years since the original film was released, and people still can’t stop talking about it. Even kids born after 2000 love the movie.

But will that sequel ever happen? After all the disappointment, we were ready to give up on the idea, but now Sean Astin is once again giving us hope. The 44-year-old actor told Tulsa World that it’s not a question of if, “but rather when the sequel gets made.”

“The precise makeup of it, I have no idea. Whether I will be in it, no idea. Whether they would even want the original cast in it, no idea. But it doesn’t matter It’s bigger — it’s actually bigger than everybody. It’s bigger than even Steven [Spielberg], who created it. It’s bigger than Richard Donner, who breathed such strong life into it. It’s now a part of American cultural lore, and the studio has a lot to gain from promoting it, so you can take it to the bank that people will get to enjoy it more.”

Of course, people lost their freaking minds when they read this, believing this meant something was being developed right now. But that’s not the case. Astin was forced to clarify the comments on his Facebook page. He made it clear that nothing is 100% right now, but he’s certainly rooting for it…

“If it gets made in my lifetime, I will root for it, whether I’m in it or not. If it gets made after I’m no longer here to be in it or watch it, I still know in my heart, guts, wherever, [that] it will get made.”

Well, crap. That last sentence is depressing. Let’s not even think about that. This movie will get made, Mr. Astin will still be alive to see it, and everyone will love it.

Okay?
