It's hard to imagine that someone has even been hired to write a sequel to The Goonies, let alone that a follow-up to the 40 adventure film is actually happening at all.

While speaking to Deadline at the Venice Film Festival, Ponciroli confirmed just how far along in the writing process he is, and it should get fans of bully blinders and slick shoes excited. “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.”
