If you’ve been online at all in the last week or so, you’ve likely been inundated with reports that an upcoming Goonies sequel was confirmed to be in production, with nearly every major cast member attached to reprise their roles.
While many fans were overjoyed at this news, it turned out to be too good to be true, according to social media posts from Martha Plimpton. Plimpton, who played Stef in the classic film, revealed the truth via Instagram, with a clear and direct message that “there is no Goonies 2 script, there is no one ‘attached,’ Spielberg is not directing, it’s not real.”
