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."
