The pilot will be written by Sarah Watson (The Bold Type, Parenthood), with original director Richard Donner and his wife Lauren Shuler Donner executive producing.
The Goonies are coming back in a big way in a new pilot commissioned by Fox.
The series will follow three students and amateur filmmakers in a deadbeat town as they attempt to recreate Richard Donner’s 1985 adventure movie The Goonies shot-by shot.
With the recent trend of ’80s themed coming-of-age material — Stranger Things and the It franchise, for example — it’s no wonder Fox snatched this concept right up.
