"Goonies 2 "was one of the first ones asked. Cohen said he was contacted by Spielberg last year and though the pitch was "funny" but the suits at Warner Brothers aren't willing to play ball. While Donner, Spielberg and most of the cast are willing to jump on board, the company isn't willing to shell out the funds necessary. According to Cohen, there are other interested companies/investors willing to cough up the necessary cash but Warners owns the rights and is so far refusing to budge.

I always thought there was a Goonies 2, based on the game.

Wow. That shows how much I give a damn about Goonies... I thought G2 was based off the second movie...

When has a studio ever refused to do this? Usually it's the talent that refuses.

See: Miramax and Lord of the Rings

Didn't they just refuse to do 3 movies? Not the whole she-bang. Not to mention Speilber's interest, he should be able to do shit anywhere on demand.

No, they refused to do even the two movies but gave Jackson a period of time to shop the movies around and they'd give up the rights to whoever wanted to do it as long as the Wienstiens got producer credits on it.

Jackson was pitching the two movie version and New Line was the one who decided it should be a trilogy.

[Manders]

I think sean astin is far from a big loser now....

John Matuszak (sp?) who played Sloth is dead.

Ann Ramsey, Mamma Fratelli is dead

Chunk is like ultra skinny now, so that wouldnt work right. Here is a pic:

I remember reading what everyone thought was a script for G2, and it seemed really interesting. Something like Mikey was getting married, and all the goonies were coming back to the goon docks for the wedding, and Mikey owned some artifact shop in town and they had a character based on Chester Copperpots grandson or great grandson. It had to do with a Pirate again...

Also, I am surprised the WB said no. I mean if you have Spielberg who says, he I want to make it, then you say YES!!!

Good. It's kind of nice that Hollywood isn't doing the typical unoriginal thing by making a sequel to a move that isn't screaming for one.

Don't ruin a classic.

 

[pnjtony]

yeah, I'm glad this isn't happening and I'm usually all for sequals.

 

[sprsk]

For some reason i kept reading movie in the thread title as "gremlins 2" and i kept thinking to myself "wtf, they already made a gremlins 2."

 

[aparisi2274]

now thats a movie i would like to see a new one with...

Gremlins 3

Ya, much better to go with the current trend by just remaking the original classic movie.

The ironic thing is that if Goonies came out in 1995 rather than 1985, it would have three direct-to-video sequels already.

I want an Explorers sequel! CG River Phoenix!

Warner.. a huge movie studio, denied a script for a SEQUEL that was pitched by SPEIELBERG? THATS FUCKIN CRAZINESS.
