It might help that Brolin and Ke Huy Quan are stars now and Sean Astin is a genre legend.

If? It will undoubtedly be a train wreck.

Not sure how I feel about it. I watched Beetlejuice 2 last night and almost cried in desperation. What a train wreck that was.

At least with Beetlejuice, I get the decision by Hollywood.It's been a merchandising machine at Hot Topic and other places for decades,their are millions of people who weren't alive when that was made who the film is Nostalgia bait from their childhood. Goonie's doesn't really hit that way for anywhere close to the same amount of young people,they are gonna be really relying on a 45+(generously) and up crowd to show up for this.

That's a pretty risky undertaking. I'm not sure I feel nostalgic enough. Hopefully they won't fuck it up as badly.

Nostalgia. It hits hard.

I just think I'm getting really tired of Hollywood's version of nostalgia.

If the first one was good, I don't need a remake. If they screwed up the first version remake it to what it should have been.

But I would prefer if they created new things instead of redoing old things.

( Unless it's Firefly/Serenity - still waiting on them to fix the mistake of cancelling that one)

They're remaking Buffy so maybe we'll eventually circle round to Firefly. I would have loved that!

Can we stop this from happening? What could the premise possibly be?

Who is the target audience here? I don't want it and I'm not alone in that. seems a lot of us have no faith that it will be good and think it's a cash grab and it's not something new for the kids. So who is this even for?

I hope it’s all the original goonies getting back together to go on a cross country adventure for whatever reason. Mikey’s your typical middle aged dad who’s settled in life and is the reluctant one to go on the adventure, Brand is retired from the military, Chunk is a lawyer and keeps telling them “the name just doesn’t work anymore guys, time for a new nickname already”, Mouth is a rockstar, and Data is still into inventing things but is a big time engineer now.

What I don’t want to see is the movie is about their kids going on an adventure to save the town from their parents financial mistakes or something. Do NOT make it so that the original Goonies grow up to be failures and lost the spark of adventure and given up in adulthood and their children need to save the day.
