THE GOONIES Cast Reunited at Hollywood Ceremony Where Ke Huy Quan Said He "Would Love" for a Sequel to Happen

The cast of The Goonies reunited this week to support their co-star Ke Huy Quan, whose career has made an incredible return.

After starring in the sci-fi flick Everything Everywhere All At Once, which won him the Academy Award, Quan has seen a huge uptick in the roles he’s been offered.

This week is a big one for the actor, as he’s celebrating the red carpet premiere of his upcoming Valentine’s Day action comedy, Love Hurts, and he was celebrated Monday at his hand-and-footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

Quan was joined by Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin, Kerri Green, Jeff Cohen and director Chris Columbus. “I had an incredible Goonies reunion this morning,” Quan told Variety. The cast had a virtual fundraising reunion on Zoom during the COVID pandemic, but it had been decades since they’d physically been in the same place.

Quan said he’s frequently asked if there will ever be a Goonies sequel. “It’s one of the most asked questions in my life,” he said. “I would love for it to happen.”

Feldman told me that he and co-star Sean Astin were developing a sequel about a decade ago. They pitched it to director Richard Donner and members of the Amblin and Columbus teams. “Sean and I worked really hard on this, and it was a really great idea,” Feldman said.

Although Donner seemed excited by the project, he didn’t get on board because he thought it was “too expensive.”

“This is the sequel to The Goonies. It’s got to be expensive, right?” Feldman said. “He’s like, ‘I want to make it small. I want to make it about the characters — more of a film about these people and where they are now.’ I was like, ‘OK, all right. Well, there you go. You’re Dick, you’re the boss.’”

Like Quan, Feldman is also open to the idea of making a sequel now. “All I can say is, get us all together,” he said. “Everybody is looking good. Sean’s looking good. Josh is looking good. We’re all looking good still, and we’re all alive. Goonies never say die…There’s hope.”

Love Hurts is actually a mini Goonies reunion, with Astin appearing in the film alongside Quan.

Audiences are happily receiving nostalgic reunion movies these days. I think a Goonies sequel with the original cast would be totally epic, and as the film has stretched across genres, I think it would have a huge appeal and make a lot of money. But we will just have to wait and see how it pans out.
