I was glad when I read this article for one of my favourite movies to get a sequel, check it out(http://www.moviehole.net/200814515-caffeinated-clint-4808):
So, as you may have noticed, the new site got off to a bumpy start we spent more time down last week, than up, giving Moviehole the nickname Paris Hilton (boo-yah!) but everything seems to be fixed now. We hope. Our server couldnt handle the visitors. Plain and simple. It got to the point where we were saying Man, I hope a lot of people dont visit the site today which is an absolutely ****ed thing to say, especially when readers, hits and advertorial commissions are what keeps us going. On any other day, the more visitors the better, but between Monday and Sunday of last week we sincerely hoped Corey Feldman (and he has been visiting he dropped me a line to say so; he also appreciates our support of Lost Boys : The Tribe. He later found out that Im bonking Autumn Reeser, so is a little unsure how sincere our review is..) would be the only one visiting. Thats an overstatement it took more than 2 people to crash the server it took like 3.
But enough *****ing about our World War II server that weve got 300 old Duke Nukem games running on concurrently with Moviehole because its got us back-up, and by the looks of it, we will be here at least until 2030 or the Star Wars sequels whatever comes first (I can imagine giving up on film completely after witnessing the atrocities that would be "Star Wars" 7-9 can you imagine how painful itd be to watch a computer-generated Mark Hamill train Zac Efron as the new jedi hero of the show?). Something good has come out of the crash - Holden has finally worked out how to use the forums well, use is probably too strong a word, hes worked out where the forums are (and only because we changed the index page to the forums for the past few days). But now that he knows how to find you all in the community, you can probably expect regular visits if not private messages asking you for information on the Dukes of Hazzard Vs. Knight Rider movie theyll never make.
Long story short, were back online which means, 'oh ****! I gotta work again'.
Ive a big-time scoop for all you loyal Caffeinated Clint fans (the rest of you, probably over at Hollywood Elsewhere, wont be able to hear it so nerrrrr!) today.
A very, very, very good source if I revealed his name, youd know straight away this was a solid bit of news informed me a few days ago that the sequel Corey Feldman has been telling media will never happen, one Goonies 2, is indeed happening. (And I don't blame the Felddog for assuming it's never going to happen either - this one's been rumoured longer than the talking fridge).
Now I don't know when it's going to happen, because it has been on the drawing boards for a good decade now ("Star Trek" and "Transformers" scribe Robert Orci told me today that he was involved in a draft in about 1998), but it does seem to be inching forward.
So what have I been told? well, Warner Bros are finally going to give it the respect it deserves this will be a large-scale theatrical release.. a tentpole. It will not be a direct-to-video release.
(A source at Warner Bros has since confirmed this - saying they are developing it as a major movie, but won't share anything other than that. Nothing we didn't already know though)
We've been told that there are writers on the project - and they're being paid rather nicely for their services too so its doubtful the script will be used as merely a place mat to hold Alan Horns sandwich. But god I hope they don't **** this ***** up - "The Goonies" is one childhood memory I don't want butt-assaulted.
Ive no idea what the script is about, nor do I know how far into the script the writers are, but we're told that itll apparently involve some of the original cast - I doubt Josh Brolin will return though; and even if he was keen, would Warner want to pay him the hefty fee he now gets? Doubtful and some new cast members. I cant imagine all of the original Goonies coming back, can you? Id think Corey Feldman, Sean Astin and, er, Short-Round would be the most likeliest recruits for a reprise if only because they havent disappeared off-the-map (Martha Plimpton where art thou? Keri Green does she still act?). You never know, Chunk might even get a call too but hes not very Chunky anymore (dude dropped half his weight!), so Jonah Hill will probably step into that characters shoes. Hollywood - gotta love it.
But there you have it, after years and years of rumours and even some attempts to get the film up by original director Richard Donner The Goonies 2 will soon be a reality. Im expecting the trades to report this soon enough .. and, of course, pretend that we didnt say it first.
I loathe remakes of films that still hold up well, but I love sequels especially good ones. Im so grateful that Bugs Bunny, or whoever the **** is running Warner Bros these days (the frogs retired, right?), didnt just decide to remake the movie. For once, theyre actually considering the millions of fans of the original film (Meanwhile, every other studio in Hollywood squirts in our mouth via another dozen unnecessary remakes of films made 18 bloody months ago. You watch, theyll remake No Country for Old Men next year) and power to 'em!
I spent some time at Warner in '06, developing a film (as many know), and gotta say - they did make the best sandwiches I've ever tasted. If they continue making great-ass sequels like "The Dark Knight" - and, knock on wood, "Goonies 2" - I might just have to see about getting my 'drive on' revalidated there.
Cyndi Lauper is waiting by the phone. Robert Davi books an appointment with his agent. We wait in hope of a greenlight.
Finally, here's me running down - and I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way - a few recent pics.
