After years of rumors that a Goonies sequel was brewing, the film's director Richard Donner said the next chapter of the 80's classic film is in the works.

When TMZ asked Donner if he was going to direct a trendy comic book film soon, the filmmaker said, "If you call Goonies a comic book. We're doing a sequel."

Although the film's stars Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Sean Astin, Jeff Cohen, Martha Plimpton and more have yet to comment on Donner's announcement, the director said "Hopefully, all of them" would return for the sequel, when he was asked if any of the original cast members would be coming back.

Astin did comment on the possibility of a Goonies sequel back in 2012, when he and Feldman worked together on Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, telling IGN.com at the time, "I'm 1000 percent certain there will be a sequel. I will bet my children on it."

Well, you know what they say, "Goonies never die!"
