Goonies Never Say Die!


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.
