Goonies Sequel 2014: Goonies 2 and Gremlins Sequels Moving So Fast You Would Think Someone Got Fed After Midnight; Chris Columbus Gets The Gremlins Wet

Goonies Sequel 2014: Goonies 2 has been fast tracked. The sequel to Goonies is moving so fast you would think someone got fed after midnight. Someone named Chris Columbus, maybe?

The 1985 Goonies film was written by Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus and was  one of the top box office hits of that year. Rumors about a Goonies sequel have been circulating since the first movie came out. Goonies introduced young actors Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin, Sean Astin, Jeff Cohen and Martha Plimpton to the big screen. But Gremlins 2 reports went into overdrive when Richard Donner, who directed the original Goonies, said he wants to get Mikey, Brand, Chunk, Data and Mouth back together in a Goonies sequel.

Last week, The Tracking Board reported that Chris Columbus will produce a remake of Gremlins and a sequel to Goonies.

Gremlins already had a sequel, Gremlins 2: The New Batch. The new film will be a reboot rather than a sequel. Warner Bros. working on a Gremlins sequel for years. The studio plans to fast track a version with Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg set to produce.

The Tracking Board reported that Chris Columbus signed on after negotiations to return to both movies.

The two reboots will see Chris Columbus return to his roots. Chris Columbus wrote both the Gremlins and Goonies original scripts.

According to E! News, Sean Astin gushed about the possibility of returning to the Goon Docks when he was at the ATX Television Festival.

"My first thought when Dick said he was doing that was like, 'alright, maybe this time it's true!' I hope it's true," Astin said. I certainly like the idea of doing it. I don't know if I'd be in it or not. If they really wanted us to be in it, I'm sure there would be some way to work it out".

Goonies 2 will be coming from the original director Richard Donner. The story has already been written by Steven Spielberg, who co-wrote the original, and Astin spilled "I happen to know that they are actively trying to secure a writer based on an outline that they feel really confident about."

Feldman and Astin both claimed that Chris Columbus is on board for the Goonies sequel.

Astin recently told TheBlaze that "Steven Spielberg said to me when I was 13 years old that he wanted to make a sequel to 'The Goonies' and that he couldn't wait to find the right story."

The actor was asked if this would be a Goonies for new generation. "I think that's what they want to do. I think they want to focus primarily on the kids," Astin said. "I think the audience may be split on that, so they're trying to figure it out."

"The Goonies" director Richard Donner first announced that he was planning a sequel during a TMZ interview in early April.
