Actor Josh Brolin veers away from committing to a sequel for The Goonies, despite its long-standing timeline.
Josh Brolin, who played Brandon "Brand" Walsh in the beloved 1985 film The Goonies, has shared his thoughts about a potential sequel to the classic adventure movie. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the premiere of his horror flick "Weapons," Brolin expressed some hesitations about the prospect of continuing the story.
Brolin, now 57 years old, believes that The Goonies represents everything good about filmmaking and has been received well by multiple generations. However, he is concerned that a sequel might taint the memory and legacy of the original film. To illustrate his concern, Brolin humorously imagined the grown-up Goonies falling off a cliff because of walkers, symbolizing the challenge of continuing the story decades later.
Despite his trepidation, Brolin hopes that the sequel happens because the original movie experience was great. He emphasized that as long as Steven Spielberg, who is known for his meticulous attention to detail and preservation of the original's quality and spirit, approves the sequel, it would likely be good. However, Brolin noted that so far, at least five scripts have been proposed, but none have been approved by Spielberg.
The original The Goonies film, which also starred Sean Astin, Jeff Cohen, Kerri Green, Ke Huy Quan, and Martha Plimpton, has left a lasting impact on audiences and continues to be cherished by many. As Brolin awaits news about a potential sequel, fans of the original film will eagerly anticipate any updates from the production team.
