The Goonies gang may be planning a return to the big screen in a proposed sequel to the 1985 classic, MTV.com reports.

Original director Richard Donner and Steven Spielberg, who executive produced and co-wrote the first movie with Chris Columbus, have purchased a sequel script and are trying to convince rightsowner Warner Bros. to greenlight the film.

The original movie centred on the adventures of a group of kids searching for the hidden treasure of pirate "One-Eyed" Willie.

The sequel would reunite original cast members Sean Astin, Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin and others with a new gang of kids, the Groonies.

Astin next stars as loyal hobbit Sam in "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," the final installment in the J.R.R. Tolkien trilogy. It opens Dec. 17.
