A film sequel was in the works, something long desired by fans. Donner said that he had a story he liked and Spielberg behind him, but in 2004 several of the actors from the original revealed that Warner Brothers, the copyright holder, had not shown interest in a sequel. Although Sean Astin told MTV in October 2007 that Goonies 2 is an "absolute certainty.... The writing’s on the wall when they’re releasing the DVD in such numbers," Richard Donner has expressed doubt that the sequel will ever happen, as many of the actors had not shown interest in returning for a sequel. Corey Feldman stated in his November 25, 2008 blog post, "NO! There is no Goonies 2! I’m sorry but it’s just not gonna happen.... Course now that I've said that they’ll do it."
