Goonies Never Say Die

It has come to my attention that I need to diversify. I won't be posting anything else Twilight/robert Pattinson related for the rest of the week unless it is REALLY important.

Here is something a little different...5 things you didn't know about Goonies until now:

1.The filmmakers considered a sequel
"We went through eight writers," says director Richard Donner. "We tried and tried. But you realize you just can't pick up on their lives." So, how about a sequel now that catches up with a middle-aged Mikey or over-the-hill Data? Nah, says Donner: "It's too late."

2.Corey Feldman's Goonies connection with Corey Haim
Feldman, who played the wisecracking Mouth, first encountered his close pal, the late Corey Haim, through The Goonies. "It was in the waiting room – we were auditioning for the same role," says Feldman, now 38. After Haim's death in March at 38, Feldman relied on friends like his Goonies costar Sean Astin for support. "Sean was the first one to call me when Corey Haim died. We have that true friendship."

3.Kerri Green remembers a 'sweet' Astin and a 'cute' Brolin
"Sean is one of the sweetest people alive," recalls Green, who played Andy the cheerleader, of the Lord of the Rings star, 39. "He could get really hyper so everyone tried to keep him away from the craft service table, because he loved his candy." And what of the young Josh Brolin, who played Astin's hunky big brother? "Josh was the cutest, most awesome guy – we all loved him," says Green.

4.Chunk grew up and went to law school
While some Goonies have gone on to high-profile acting careers, Jeff Cohen – who played the lovably chubby Chunk – is now a Beverly Hills entertainment attorney with a roster of celebrity clients. Cohen, 35, has retired his bare-bellied Truffle Shuffle. P.S.: He's chunky no more. "Steven [Spielberg] said I went from Chunk to Hunk," says a single (and svelte) Cohen, adding with mock-modesty, "and I defer to his superior judgment."

5.The Goonies are Broadway-bound
Donner and his wife, X-Men producer Lauren Shuler Donner, are working on a musical adaptation of the film for the Great White Way. "It'll be pure Goonies," he says. While no original cast members are currently slated to participate, he'd love for Joe Pantoliano and Robert Davi – who played the deliciously villainous Fratelli brothers – to get involved because, says Donner, "They sing beautifully."
