The beloved 1985 classic The Goonies is reportedly the next film to get the remake treatment with The New Mutants director being eyed for the project. Josh Boone is one name they are considering to helm the movie, but at this time, there are no details on the cast, plot, or writers.

The Goonies was directed by Richard Donner and was produced by Steven Spielberg. The cast included Corey Feldman, Lord of the Rings star Sean Astin, and Avengers: Endgames’ Josh Brolin way back before they were household names. The original film grossed $124 million on a $19 million budget and has become an enjoyable cult classic.

For those living under a rock or who are too young to have seen the infamous motion picture, the story revolves around a group of misfits who live in the “Goon Docks” town of Astoria, Oregon. These kids attempt to save their homes by venturing off to find a 17th-century pirate’s treasure. The adventure has them running from dangerous criminals through a boobie trapped journey to riches beyond their wildest dreams.

Remakes and reboots are all the rage right now in Hollywood, and it makes sense The Goonies would be next on the list. My sources have said that they like Boone as the auteur of the intriguing cinematic endeavor. And he is probably one of the better choices given what his next release entails.
