Goonies star Ke Huy Quan gives very positive update on the 40 years in the making sequel: "I feel quite good about it"

The Goonies are coming back to the big screen with a long-awaited sequel announced earlier this year, and lead star Ke Huy Quan has offered a very positive update to let fans know that things are moving forward. Although he hasn't seen a final script yet, Quan revealed that everyone involved is really excited.

"I first heard about it when I saw Steven Spielberg at an event and he was so excited," he told ComicBook.com. "We try to do it, so let's manifest it. I know we've been trying for the last 40 years, but I feel quite good about it. This time, Chris Columbus and Spielberg are developing it, we have an incredible writer. I mean, I read he turned in the second draft and they're really happy about it."

In September, writer Potsy Ponciroli – taking over from co-writers Chris Columbus and Steven Spielberg, who now will serve as producers – revealed the script is pretty much done, saying: "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."
