'I hope it does [happen] because the experience was so great,' he the outlet. 'The movie is received so well, generation after generation. It's just everything good about it. The trepidation that I have is that you release something else that taints that. I don't want to taint what my memory of it [is].'
The Oscar nominee then joked about what the sequel's storyline would entail, given the fact that its release would come over four decades after the 1985 debut of the classic adventure comedy about a group of misfit kids hunting treasure in a bid to save their house from foreclosure.
'It's like, 'Oh, we came out with another,' and then the Goonies grew up, and then they came out with their walkers and then they fell off a cliff because they couldn't see very well, like, what are you going to do? I don't know. Maybe it could be great. If it's great, you'll know, like if [story writer Steven] Spielberg approves it, you know it's going to be good. But I think there's been five scripts so far through the years and he hasn't approved anything yet — so me being picky, Spielberg is picky, and he has a reason to be because he has great taste.'
The Dune star's comments come several months after Deadline broke the news that the Goonies, indeed, never say die: Traction appears to be gaining on The Goonies 2, with Potsy Ponciroli coming aboard to pen the script for Warner Bros. While there is no filmmaker currently attached (the late Richard Donner helmed the original), Steven Spielberg, Kristie Macosko Krieger and Holly Bario will produce for Amblin Entertainment alongside original scribe Chris Columbus, with Lauren Shuler Donner executive producing.
Plot details are currently under wraps, and news of the sequel's development came just weeks after a cast reunion at TCL Chinese Theatre, in celebration of Ke Huy Quan's hand and foot imprint ceremony.

The soon-to-be mother of three, who is expecting her third baby with partner A$AP Rocky, has been showing off her stellar maternity style throughout her pregnancy. On July 20, she was photographed in Santa Monica, Calif., after having dinner at Giorgio Baldi wearing a navy blue ERL suit jacket left open to reveal her bare baby bump and a Savage x Fenty sheer bralette. Related: The singer accessorized with a polka-dot ERL necktie and a pair of gold necklaces featuring the names of her two sons, Riot, 23 months, and RZA, 3. While stepping out for dinner at Giorgio Baldi following the L.A. premiere of Smurfs on July 13, Rihanna donned a white two-piece look by Alaïa's Pieter Mulier that showcased her bump. The top included a hood that draped down into a high neckline, while the floor-length skirt featured a sculptural roll of padding around the waistband, creating a flared look at her hips.

A source told PEOPLE in July that the couple are "thrilled" to become parents to a third child, adding that they've "really embraced this chapter and their bond has only deepened since becoming parents." According to the insider, Rocky "has been incredibly attentive and nurturing throughout this pregnancy." That means "changing diapers, doing bedtime routines, and keeping" his sons "entertained."
