Goonies II is Greenlit!

Well everyone, its official, Hollywood is officially trying to ruin our childhoods even more.

A new report comes out from Deadline, Variety, and even IMDB have a page for it, reporting that Bret Ratner has signed on to bring about the much desired Goonies II movie. Normally I would be completely over the moon and excited beyond belief to be bringing you this news, but just wait until you hear about the cast.

Returning to the flick are Corey Feldman and Ke Huy Quan and Martha Plimpton, however, it appears Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen and Kerri Green have all refused to be a part of the remake stating they are either not acting any more or uninterested in the new story.

The new story comes to us from Barry Wernick who co-wrote Grandma's Boy, a movie great for drinking games but hardly something of the quality we want for a Goonies sequel. It is rumoured to be casting for younger versions of all the main cast who are all the new generation of video game playing, boring children who stay indoors all the time, and explain to them the efforts of their parents to preserve such a special outdoors adventure area such as the Goondocks by putting them through a daring adventure to go back into the underground lair of One Eyed Willy. Rumoured to be in the lair is the treasure of a second pirate April Fools who tends to write these silly news announcements each year.

The kids will undoubtedly go on to defeat such a nefarious beast as the April Fools pirate and revel in the aftermath of the fight by flying down waterslides, swinging on ropes, killing invisible octopi and stopping an evil father and son from setting up a golf course. It is with much concern I share this news and with much excitement I run home to watch the real, awesome, amazing, most perfect movie of all time: the original THE GOONIES! I suggest you all do too.
