Back
in my ‘Business of Film’ class in college, there was assignment where we had to
create a film project on paper. From
writing the script to the marketing and distribution strategy, it was up to us
to attain the ‘greenlight’ for production from the professor and thus, a
passing grade.
One
film project that I deserved the ‘A’ the most was a fellow student’s pitch for
a Goonies sequel. The story starts off where Mikey, Mouth,
Chunk and Data have all spent through the booty they pillaged from One-eyed Willy. Being completely destitute, they plan for a
jewel heist, Tarantino-style.
To
be perfectly honest, I would clean Steven Spielberg’s house for a year if it
meant this movie could get the greenlight.
But I don’t have the heart to steal the idea and I don’t have the time
to be a domestic.
Any
ideas out there that someone could pitch for a Goonies sequel, other than what’s written above? Let’s do lunch and get a treatment down.
