Maybe I shouldn't have jumped into the fountain at the mall and taken back my wish for a Goonies sequel after all. Actor Sean Astin told MTV recently that a sequel to 1985 hit is "almost certain to happen." "The writing's on the wall when they're releasing the Goonies DVD in such numbers."
Sean added that he and Corey Feldman hope the sequel will focus the children of the characters from the original film: "I have three children and Corey's got a kid now. So as we now all have kids who are coming into the age that we were when we made the movie, it's more likely to me that they'll figure out how to design a story that will satisfy the older audience in terms of connecting with the original 1985 Goonies, and then create this new thing."
Sounds like wishful thinking on Sean and Corey's parts, probably because they need the money but being a child of the 80's, I'd actually be excited for this one for nostalgic reasons. Hopefully they don't screw it up. And they gotta get Cyndi Lauper and that woman from Throw Momma From the Train ( if she's still alive).
Below is a reunion photo of the cast of Goonies from a couple years ago. Chunk's not so chunky anymore. But where's Sloth?

In other sequel news, Warner Brothers has confirmed that Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins (aka Terminator 4) will begin production in early 2008.
Executive producer Moritz Borman says that the film is "set in the future, in a full-scale war between Skynet and humankind." He added that "The third film was really the conclusion of what happened in the 'now'. "You will find the most-loved characters, but the intention here is to present a fresh new world and have this be the first of a trilogy." Yeah, he said trilogy, they're going all Star Wars on us.
Although producers are hoping for an Arnold Schwarzenegger cameo, the rumor is that the main Terminator will be played by Vin Diesel. Yeah, I said Vin Diesel. This'll go well......
