Clint over at Movie Hole says multiple sources (one inside of Warners confirming "a very, very good source") are saying that writers have been attached to a GOONNIES theatrical follow-up & that the project seems to be "inching" forward. This isn't being characterized as a cheap knock-off a la LOST BOYS 2: THE TRIBE. This is a large scale theatrical release that's going to give the property "the respect it deserves". There are a few more details in the article, including the revelation that Roberto Orci (Bay's TRANSFORMERS films and Abrams' STAR TREK) was, at one point, developing a previous iteration of GOONIES sequel. Read all the details...

There've been rumblings of a GOONIES follow-up for many, many, many years - so God knows how long it'll take this particular effort to come together (if it ever does at all). This said, we recently received a few e-mails indicating that studio minions have been sniffing out possible locales for a project believed to be GOONIES related. The messages were too imprecise to report at the time, but perhaps they should be considered in new light given Movie Hole's report . Know more? I'D LOVE TO HEAR IT!
