Actor Josh Brolin reveals his apprehension about the sequel to 'The Goonies' and the reasons behind it.
Josh Brolin, the 57-year-old American actor, recently shared his thoughts about the potential sequel to the 1985 adventure classic, The Goonies. Brolin, who played the role of Brandon "Brand" Walsh, has expressed trepidation and concerns about the development of The Goonies 2.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the premiere of his forthcoming film Weapons, Brolin discussed the sequel, stating, "I've heard rumors about a script being worked on by Potsy Ponciroli, but nothing concrete has been shared with me yet."
Despite his concerns, Brolin acknowledged the importance of Steven Spielberg's involvement in the project. Spielberg, who was a co-writer and original producer of The Goonies, is known for his selective approach to sequels. Brolin believes this selectiveness suggests that any sequel would not be a mere cash grab but would maintain the quality of the original.
However, Brolin expressed his concern that a sequel could "taint" the original's cult status. He joked about what The Goonies 2 might look like with the main cast as older characters, but emphasized that he hopes the sequel happens because of the great experience they had making the original film.
Despite the lack of official confirmation, The Goonies 2 is reportedly in some stage of script development. The current status and cautious optimism around a sequel from the main cast and creative forces involved reflect the excitement and anticipation among fans.
The Goonies is a film that embodies everything good about it, according to Brolin. The adventure classic has been received well generation after generation and remains a favourite among moviegoers.
