Sean Astin recently revealed that he is planning to make his first feature, an adaptation of Lois Lowry’s best-selling children’s book ‘Number the Stars’ and hopes that it will be a “huge international title.”
According to the Hollywood Reported, the 43-year-old also talked about his journey to success from being a ‘Goonie to Hobbit ‘ and said that nobody could have anticipated that 30 years later, people would still be screening the movie all over the country.
Astin starred in other memorable films post-‘ Goonies,’ including 1993’s ‘Rudy,’ the Steven Spielberg-produced film remained his biggest box-office hit, at 61 million dollars domestically, until Peter Jackson’s ‘The Lord of the Rings films.’
The trilogy, in which Astin played hobbit Samwise Gamgee, went on to gross nearly 3 billion dollars worldwide.
