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.
