7.Donner Is Currently Chipping Away At An Off-Broadway Version
Obviously tired of sitting tight for a sequel to be green lit, Donner made alternate courses of action to breathe back life into the Goonies. In 2015, the director reported his goal to make an off-Broadway creation of The Goonies, envisioned in the tradition of immersion theatre. He laid out his vision for the stage version of the story to Yahoo! Movies, clarifying, “There’s no seats, the venue is you go into a warehouse and there’s something happening in that warehouse and that’s the play you’ve come to see, only you become part of it and you travel through with actors. It’s very popular now. It will take another year or so but it’s going to be wonderful.”
Much the same as the sequel, the Goonies play has yet to show up. So far, there has been no finalization about the cast or a release date. Donner was resolute that the show would soon be a reality. In any case, keeping in mind this would doubtlessly be a remarkable affair for any Goonies fan, with the director exhausting his energy on this task implies The Goonies 2 is a distant dream.
8.Chunk Has Discounted Himself
Even if the powers had chosen to take the sequel course as opposed to rebooting the film, they would have been compelled to do it without the most adored of the Goonies. Jeff Cohen, the earlier youngster on-screen character who played Chunk, poured cold water on coming back to Astoria to play a more seasoned form of his character. He assured that his new vocation as an entertainment lawyer and author is too great to leave, regardless of the fact that he remembers his acting days affectionately.
He said; “Look, being an actor is great, I miss being an actor. I think anyone who’s been an actor, you kind of miss it even if you were just in school plays. You miss it because it was a fun experience,” said Cohen. “But I think I’m going to stick with the entertainment law thing. That seems to be working out!”
Cohen has ended up being one of the most famous attorneys in Hollywood. His book The Dealmaker’s Ten Commandments: Ten Essential Tools for Business Forged in the Trenches of Hollywood was published in 2015. It served as a viable, simple aide on the best way to negotiate deals, manage time and handle an emergency at the top most level in business. Once in a while, the ex-Goonieexpounds on legal and political matters for CNBC.
