The kids’ adventure film, which was scripted by Chris Columbus (prior to his successes with Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and The Help, among others), featured Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin, Sean Astin, Jeff Cohen and Martha Plimpton on a quest to find a pirate treasure.

When asked which original cast members would be coming back for Goonies 2, Donner replied, “Hopefully all of them.”

While Donner previously said that he didn’t think there was going to be a sequel, Astin never gave up hope, telling IGN in 2012, that the cast were still good friends.
