'Goonies': The Musical?

Richard Donner is raining on all sorts of parades right now. We heard earlier in the week that Lethal Weapon 5 is "dead in the water," which might be a good thing, and now he tells Variety that another long-rumored sequel won't happen. In an article that also features a few great memories about the film by its cast, Donner says a Goonies sequel isn't in the cards. "We tried really hard, and Steven (Spielberg) said, 'Let's do it," confirms Donner. "We had a lot of young writers submit work, but it just didn't seem to call for it."But there is still hope for a continuation of every Gen X kid's favorite adolescent adventure: Donner is deadly serious about turning Goonies into a musical. "Wouldn't that be great," he mused.The musical won't be a sequel - which, according to various reports, would have included original Goonies Josh Brolin, Martha Plimpton, Corey Feldman, Sean Astin and others joining a new crop of kids on an adventure set in the Rocky Mountains - but rather the story we know so well. Just set to music.
