The Goonies cast says die on rumors of a sequel

Corey Feldman and Martha Plimpton insist that a sequel to 1985's The Goonies is never going to happen despite rumors.

Sometimes you just have to let sleeping dogs - or One-Eyed Willy - lie. Next year, The Goonies will be celebrating its 40th anniversary. But don't expect a sequel to The Goonies, as one is neither in development nor being considered, according to two cast members from the original 1985 movie.
