Believe it or not, The Goonies 2 might be happening for real this time, with Warner Bros. having finally locked down a writer for the belated sequel.

The Goonies' sequel is gaining momentum, as Potsy Ponciroli has been tapped to pen the screenplay for Warner Bros.

Old Henry director Potsy Ponciroli, 43, will write the script for the new Goonies sequel for the Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, Deadline reports. The sequel does not have a director yet, and the plot is still unknown to the public.

Almost 40 years after the original was released in June 1985, Warner Bros. has hired Potsy Ponciroli to write the script for a sequel to The Goonies, with Steven Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger, and Holly Bario producing for Amblin Entertainment,
