The Goonies and Gremlins screenwriter Chris Columbus recently offered brief updates on the current status of two sequels we’ve been hearing about for many years now, Gremlins 3 and The Goonies 2.

While things aren’t looking great for a Goonies sequel at the moment, Columbus confirmed that he and his production company 1492 Pictures are “actively talking” about a new Gremlins movie.

A new live-action trailer for the shared-world pirate adventure game Sea of Thieves has been released titled “Museum of More Pirate.”

The trailer features The Goonies, Lord of the Rings, and Stranger Things star Sean Astin as a curator in a pirate museum. And while Lord of the Rings and Stranger Things are great, it’s fans of The Goonies who are going to be most interested in watching this trailer, even if you don’t intend on playing the actual game.

Check it out below along with more on the new trailer.

Emanating from the Renaissance Woodbridge Hotel in Iselin, NJ; the New Jersey Horror Con and Film Festival welcomed several film reunions. Over the weekend stars from The People Under the Stairs, Rob Zombie’s Halloween, and Night of the Demons (1988) all met up for group panels and Q&As. Perhaps the most eagerly attended panel though was for The Goonies. NJ Horror Con welcomed Mikey and Andy, Sean Astin and Kerri Green and the room was packed upstairs with fans of all ages, many wearing Goonies-themed shirts.

Moderated by Chris Stiles, Astin and Green took the stage to a loud applause. Stiles open by asking about their audition process back in 1984-85, and Astin jokes about being shocked he got the role since he couldn’t remember any of the lines. Kerri Green adds how embarrassed she felt about losing her shoes during her audition, later finding they were taken by director Richard Donner as a joke. It’s fascinating listening to these actors discuss day to day interactions with titans of Hollywood, Steven Spielberg and Richard Donner. Astin described Donner as scary but lovable. The two trade stories, mostly about Astin being a kid and the kids running wild on set, while Kerri and the older kids were much more relaxed. Chris Stiles asked about the competition for box office in those amazing middle 80s years with films like Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Commando, etc coming out and that lead to a panel-long gag between Stiles and Astin over Chris’s obsession with film competition.

This weekend in Iselin, New Jersey, the Garden State becomes the true state of horror. The 2017 New Jersey Horror Con and Film Festival takes over the Renaissance Woodbridge Hotel starting Friday evening, September 22nd, running through Sunday night the 24th. The brainchild of filmmaker/producer Ryan Scott Weber and Asbury Comic Con founder Rob Bruce, the convention welcomes over 30 celebrity guests, 100 vendors, special events, film screenings, and Q&A panels scheduled throughout the weekend.

Back in 1985, Richard Donner, Steven Spielberg, and Chris Columbus created a tale of a bunch of outcast kids searching for buried pirate treasure. It doesn’t necessarily sound like a classic. But to those of Generations X and Y, the adventures of Mikey, Mouth, Data, Chunk, and Sloth are those of legends. This past weekend, Sunday to be precise, The Goonies celebrated its 30th birthday.
