Oh brother.

[Ill_Be_Back]

This has to be a joke?

[Mandalorian]

Donner seems serious, but I don't buy it.

[Josh B]

He sure did defend the lack of originality, didn't he? I think he got a bit annoyed with the questions, and was being coy. 'Oh so you don't like reboots and what not- take 2 Goonies while you're eating your own words, and call me in the morning'. lol

late Aprils fools prank ?

[Walts Ghost]

They've been talking about it for years. I'll believe it when I see it.

[JeffTheMovieGuy]

I believe in Donner's product.

Count me in.

I did, and saw the video. But whose to say he wasn't just joking? Unless he tells a more credible source, I don't buy it.

[MifuneFan]

Sadly, sounds more a reboot with their kids, original Goonies would be cameos.

Donner and Spielberg are just producing.

I once read an old script that had them going on a new adventure in their 40s cause most needed the money. It was great, but Warner has no balls to make a true sequel.

Rumor: Chris Columbus Signs On for ‘Gremlins’ Reboot and ‘Goonies’ Sequel

Chris Columbus may be going back to his roots. A new report indicates that he’s set to produce both the Gremlins remake and the Goonies sequel, having written the screenplays for the originals. Hit the jump for all the details.

The Tracking Board reported the rumor. While they’ve had some good inside info in the past, Columbus hasn’t officially been announced for either project as of yet. So take the news with a grain of salt.

Warner Bros. has been trying to get a new Gremlins made for years, and the project is currently on the fast track with Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg producing. (They’re the same guys who are working on the new Beetlejuice.)

Like the original, the Gremlins remake will follow a boy who receives a strange pet for Christmas. When he breaks the very strict and very specific rules for its care, he inadvertently opens the door to an infestation of the monstrous critters. Gremlins already has one sequel, 1990′s Gremlins 2: The New Batch.

Executive producer Steven Spielberg is expected to be involved in the remake, though the specifics are unclear at this time. The original’s director, Joe Dante, does not seem likely to return. We also know that star Zach Galligan wants in, but no casting has been confirmed at this time.

Assuming Tracking Board has it right, Columbus will additionally be re-teaming with Spielberg for The Goonies 2, which has also been in development for quite a long while.

That one does have the original director, Richard Donner, on board. Donner has said that Spielberg came up with the idea for the story, and that he hopes “all” of the original stars will return.

When asked about a new Gremlins a few years back, Columbus acknowledged that ”it would be fun to go back and revisit,” but expressed some reservations.

In the same interview, he hinted that Goonies would be a tough act to follow as well: “But as Steven said, ‘How can you really be going underground finding another gigantic pirate ship filled with treasure? What can be the next adventure?’” Presumably he’s come around since then.

As it happens, Columbus’ next project as a director is also an ’80s-inspired piece. He’s helming Pixels, an Adam Sandler comedy in which ’80s-style video game characters attack New York City.

UPDATE: We’ve heard from our good sources that the new Gremlins movie won’t be a remake, but a sequel-style reboot set 30 years after the original.

From today's Reddit AMA session:

Q: "Is there a possibility of a sequel to "The Goonies"? "

Josh Brolin: "There's always a possibility. Seriously, no teasing. About every 5 years it comes up. I've never read a script. It seems that recently in the last year, there's been more talk of it than usual from the likes of Corey Feldman and Richard Donner. But that's as far as it's gone for me. I don't know how I feel about a sequel, given that I love the original movie so much."

seems like a horrible idea

but if Donner and Columbus are behind it i'll definitely keep my hopes up that it won't be horrible

[msb1428]

Do we really need a sequel to a movie that's almost 30 years old
I can just picture it now, It will be about their bratty spoiled kids with there I phones and gps's.. I really think we should leave well enough alone
