The Goonies on Broadway?
With movie properties coming to broadway The Producers, Mary Poppins, news has came out from Joblo that The Goonies might light the stage.
Richard Donner has been trying to get another GOONIES movie made, whether a
sequel involving the original characters’ offspring, or a dreaded “re-imagining”
of the first flick, none of which proved convincing enough to Warner Bros. for
anything other than direct-to-DVD release, which Donner believes isn’t good
enough for THE
GOONIES (who ‘R’ good enough).Now Donner is apparently trying a completely different route to get
GOONIES back in the flesh: Broadway. JoBlo reader ‘Mike B.’ just saw Donner at a
Q&A for SUPERMAN, and let us know the man’s plans: “What he is
actively pushing forward with to get off the ground is a Broadway play version
of the original. He specified that he had just met with Warner Brothers as
recently as yesterday, and that they’re enthusiastically in support of it.
Donner specified that while he will not be directing, he intends on taking on
the role of producer and wants “creative influence” over the production. That’s
right from the horse’s mouth.”
