The Goonies.A follow up to the 1985 cult classic has long been discussed but so far never gone into production.Now according to Columbus, who wrote the script for the original movie, Donner who directed The Goonies, once called him up in a bid to make progress on a potential sequel.“He called me and said, ‘You know what we should do?

We’re gonna get on my boat, smoke pot for three days and come up with an idea for ‘Goonies 2’,” Columbus told Empire.“I said to Dick, ‘Well, first of all, I don’t smoke pot.

But maybe if I come down, we’ll have a couple of drinks together and sit on the boat.’ It never happened. And I regret that.
