Another hit of fake news is doing the rounds — and this time, it’s for The Goonies 2. Here’s the full story of “Curse of One-Eyed Willy” debunked.
For some, it’s not enough that we have endless lists ofamazing moviesandTV showsto choose from — fake ideas need to be made up too.
However, it’s not surprising that fans wantsequels of classicsto be made, even if they show no signs of actually happening.
One popular title for a sequel remake is The Goonies, with reports swirling online about a potential reboot. Sadly for us, it’s all fake — here’s everything you need to know about The Goonies 2: Curse of One-Eyed Willy explained.
Is The Goonies 2 real?
No, The Goonies 2 isn’t real.
The reports come in the form of aviral fake Facebook poster— which surprisingly isn’t from our usual suspects who have previously been responsible forThe Golden Girls rebootand theClueless sequel. Instead, it’s the handiwork of Rumbledore, who describes themselves as a “gaming video creator,” seemingly branching out into the world of fake movie posters.
The poster hasn’t obviously been labeled as fake, but being released on April Fools Day, most fans have put two and two together. “Probably fake news but this would be amazing!!” one Facebook comment read, with a second agreeing, “I’m embarrassed by how many people will believe this.”
However, that doesn’t mean everyone has caught onto the joke. “Oh if it’s actually directed by Sam Raimi I’ll be hyped!” a third comment reads, while a fourth adds, “Yay, another movie I love that has a sequel because of someone’s lack of originality and creativity.”
Instead, check out some realhorrorandtrue crimecapers you can get stuck into.
