They Are Making A TV Series About Kids Trying To Remake The Goonies
But first they have to make a solid pilot.
Good news for fans of The Goonies: it’s being made into a TV series. Indirectly, that is.
Variety reported that Fox network has ordered a pilot — from Sarah Watson, the creator of the fashion mag workplace comedy The Bold Type — about a teacher helping three students to produce a shot-for-shot remake of their favourite movie, The Goonies.
For those who know zilch about The Goonies, think of it as your parents' Stranger Things. It's this 1985 cult classic — executive produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Richard Donner — about a bunch of smalltown kids (including future savior of Middle Earth Sean Astin and future destroyer of worlds Josh Brolin as siblings) embarking on a treasure hunt. Cyndi Lauper is featured on the soundtrack.
