“They want to. Yeah, they’re trying, they cant figure it out.”
When asked why it is so hard, Astin went on to say, “Something special happened with that movie. I mean, really special. You can’t imagine how much people love this movie from the ’80s that almost doesn’t hold up…But Stephen Spielberg had this magic, this poetry in him, and Dick Donner had this sense of adventure in him, and the two of them got together and made a movie where they let things happen….There was a whimsy about how they did this movie…It’s really hard to engineer that.”
Well you know what they say, Goonies never say die.
