The Goonies 2 Turns Into The Goonies: The Musical

"I'll be honest, we tried. We were thinking about that for years back, couldn't do it. We felt like everything we were doing would hurt what we had with the original. But Steven Spielberg said something the other day to me that he and Chris Columbus were talking about and maybe something - but I don't think there'd be a sequel. You can't sequelize it because it would have to be new Goonies. I don't know how you'd do it. I wouldn't remake it. If anything it'd be something new and fresh about more Goonies. Goonies are kids in every place in the world, every town, that maybe don't quite fit in and gravitate towards each other, and they get in trouble. Although that was a period in life where you could do a lot of that. Frankly, now, you'd be busted. I think it would be hard to think about kids looking for pirate ships today. They'd be looking for UFO's and flying them, but Steven did that."

"Hopefully we're doing this as a musical on Broadway. It's in the stages of an outline. It took forever to get on Broadway. It was a long, long process but it just got a lot shorter because there's a great writer/producer, Tim Long, who does the musicals on The Simpsons which are classic. He just delivered a treatment on The Goonies as a musical and it's friggin' great."
