And yes, over the years, I e'er dreamed of revisiting those characters. In fact, nosotros tried for many years, making a Goonies 2. Nosotros've hired numerous writers with numerous drafts, but it simply never came to be. And and so, even my render to interim, it was once, to me, a very, very distant dream.
