The Goonies superfan Behman Zakeri has big plans for his latest investment. The Kansas City-based entrepreneur recently purchased the Astoria, Oregon, house that was featured in the iconic 1985 movie. Now, he’s teamed up with Fly On The Wall Entertainment to make a reality show about the home’s renovation.

As a fan himself, Zakeri knows how much The Goonies house means to the movie’s devotees. So, now that he’s the proud owner of the home where Mikey Walsh (Sean Astin) and his friends uncover a map that points them to One-Eyed Willy’s treasure, he wants to give other enthusiasts an inside look at the home. And they won’t even need to travel to Oregon to see it.

Thanks to the Duffer Brothers, I can no longer watch any Sean Astin movie without mourning the tragic death of Bob Newby from "Stranger Things," and "The Goonies" is no exception. In the classic childhood adventure, Mikey Walsh (Astin) leads a group of friends –- collectively known as the Goonies –- in their search for a hidden treasure to save their neighborhood from being demolished to make way for a golf resort. "Superman" director Richard Donner directed the film that was penned by Chris Columbus, who later directed the first two "Home Alone" movies.
But it was Steven Spielberg, the film's executive producer, who came up with the story. The revered filmmaker got the idea for the movie while filming another movie, which is not uncommon. John Hughes got the idea for "Home Alone" while working with Macaulay Culkin on the set of "Uncle Buck," and Will Smith pitched the...

Writer-director Tim Marshall’s debut feature Followers is among 10 projects from around the world selected to participate in the Toronto-based Inside Out Lgbtq Film Finance Forum.

Convinced Rudi has been sent from God to heal and reinvigorate her life, Lynn hopes he will somehow fill the void left by her dead husband while he endures a toxic relationship with Jim, his older life coach.
Melbourne-based Frances Wang-Ward and Christina Radburn (who produced the short) will produce, with Robyn Kershaw as Ep.

The Goonies, a movie that introduced us to Sloth, Chunk, the Truffle Shuffle and the first documented instance of Joey Pants’ surprising toupee reveals, will celebrate its 35th anniversary this year. A project surely blessed by the dream team of Richard Donner, Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus in the mid-80s, The Goonies has lost none of its charm in the decades since its release.
Despite the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, industry vets are still finding a way to reach audiences under social distancing and lockdown measures, and The Goonies will definitely have an outlet to begin it’s 35th birthday early, thanks to Beauty and the Beast and Avenue 5 star Josh Gad, who is bringing the main cast of the film back together for a reunion special.
Sean Astin, who played Mikey in Donner’s 1985 kids classic, popped up in a new video Gad posted across social media this week,...

“The Goonies” (1985)
Astin’s first film role was playing Mikey Walsh, the de facto leader of The Goonies, in the adventure classic. The character’s signature exclamation of “Holy Mackenzie!” was an ad-lib by Astin, who wanted to sneak his brother’s name into the movie.
“Encino Man” (1992)
Astin starred with Pauly Shore as a pair of geeky high schoolers who find a caveman (played by Brendan Fraser) in their backyard hidden in a block of ice. Despite negative critical response, the unabashedly silly movie was a success at the box office and amassed a cult following.
“Rudy” (1993)
In this 1993 tearjerker biopic, Astin portrayed Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger, who lived his dream of playing football for the University of Notre Dame despite significant obstacles. After this role, Astin didn’t have to prove nothin’ to nobody about his acting chops.
