‘The Goonies 2’ Script Update Shared by Original Star Ke Huy Quan

Development on a sequel to the 1985 adventure classic The Goonies continues to move forward, with star Ke Huy Quan offering a significant production update. The sequel, announced earlier this year, will see the return of original producer Steven Spielberg and screenwriter Chris Columbus, who is now taking on a producing role.

According to Quan, who played Data in the original film, a script for The Goonies 2 has been submitted and is being well-received. “I know we’ve been trying for the last 40 years, but I feel quite good about it,” Quan stated in an interview. He revealed that Spielberg is “so excited” about the project and that an “incredible writer” has turned in a draft that the creative team is “really happy about.”

Potential Casting and Story Details

While specific story details remain under wraps, Quan expressed his enthusiasm for revisiting his character. “I would love to revisit that character and go on another adventure with my Goonies brothers and sisters,” he said. However, the participation of other original cast members is less certain. Josh Brolin, who played Brand, voiced caution, stating his “trepidation” that a sequel could “taint” the memory of the original film.

The Future of The Goonies Franchise

With a script now in development, the project appears to be gaining momentum at Warner Bros. The involvement of Spielberg and Columbus suggests a strong commitment to honoring the spirit of the original film. As more details are finalized, fans await official announcements regarding the full returning cast and a potential production start date.
