For any fans that were waiting patiently on any positive news regarding a sequel to The Goonies, you may be out of luck. According to star Corey Feldman, a Goonies reunion isn't looking likely.
When asked what the latest buzz is on a Goonies reunion while shaking hands and posing for pictures with fans, Feldman told TMZ, "Goonies reunion? There ain't no damn Goonies reunion!!!"
"No man, that's the rumor...the rumor," he continued. "We did a few Comic-Cons, just a few appearances together. But that's it. There's no campaign, no Goonies reunion happening." The Comic-Con Feldman may be referring to is last month's NostalgiaCon, where he appeared alongside Sean Astin.
Astin addressed the chances of a long-awaited sequel back in April, also stating he isn't sure a sequel to the '80s cult classic is going to happen anymore.
"For 20 years, my answer to the question was an unequivocal yes, there will be a sequel -- it’s not a question of if, it’s a question of when. Just certainty. Well… that’s gone," Astin told Collider. "Now I think we’ve probably passed the threshold for which all of us original cast members are right for doing a sequel."
While a sequel seems beyond the realm of possibility, Astin could see a reboot down the road. "But the audience is so powerful and so devoted to it, that I’m convinced that at the very least, it will be rebooted, which I will be fine with. If it’s not as good as the original Goonies, that’s fine, who cares?" he said.
Astin also admitted that when he and Corey Feldman came up with a treatment for a sequel and pitched it to director Richard Donner, he turned them down. Astin's confidence in the fight for a sequel lasted until fairly recently. In 2015, the actor stated Goonies is bigger than everyone who helped create it and insisted a sequel was a matter of "when," not "if."
