The Goonies.

After 40 years of waiting, it looks like we are one step closer to seeing The Goonies 2, as writer Potsy Ponciroli says things are happening with the long-awaited sequel to the ’80s classic, and the script is pretty much done.

"I have turned in a first draft, which was very well received, and I’m on a second draft and I’m about 95% done with that, so we’re moving in the right direction," said Ponciroli during the Winston Baker panel at the Venice Film Festival, via Deadline.
