Coreys Do Lost Boys 2?

Search your wardrobes folks...

The black eyeliner and velvet chokers will surely be making a comeback for this.

Your inner teen goths will be jumping for joy (not that it'll show through the pasty-faced make-up) at the news that has reached our lugholes.

Remember that teen vampire flick that had us shivering in our PJs during many a sleepover?

Here's a clue - it had a dual Corey input of the Haim and Feldman variety.

You got it - The Lost Boys is set to make a sequel.

And the Coreys are making a comeback with the film.

According to Empire Online, part two of Joel Schumacher's 1987 classic will be set by the beach and centre around a bunch of board-wielding surfer vamps.

Bring on the bloodsuckers.

Nooooo

The first one was a classic, we dont need no stinking sequel - seriously does Hollywood not have any original ideas left? I think its pretty evident that they dont.

The Lost Boys is just a classic. There seems absolutely no sense in making a sequel.

With that said, I'm suprised they aren't talking about remaking it, possibly with the ironic notion of Corey Feldman in the Keifer Sutherland role.

I didn't like the Lost Boys all that much. For low budget Vampire movies, go no further than Near Dark, which came out the same year.

Shame about the synth-rock soundtrack though. That is one thing that the Lost Boys has over it.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Why oh why do they want to ruin everybloody classic movie with a sequal or remake!

Wasn't Joel Schumacher supposed to be making The Lost Girls a few years ago? Might have been a better idea than just remaking the original film. I'm a big Lost Boys fan but I think Near Dark was slightly better.

Karl Hungus

The Lost Boys and Near Dark are just two very, very different films, what with the former being a much more humerous film, and the latter, a darker piece entirely. I love both of them, but couldn't pick a favourite.

I feel that they're only being compared because of the fact they both came out the same year. I mean, why not compare The Lost Boys to Blade, or Bram Stoker's Dracula?

Decuc500

Yeah I was comparing them because they came out so close together. It's like Gremlins v's Ghostbusters or The Thing v's ET......or maybe not...
Didn't The Thing do badly in the cinema because it came out just after ET and everyone wanted to see cuddly aliens instead of shape changing aliens and blood and gore?

Karl Hungus

I can't imagine why that would happen, seeing as ET was a family orientated film, whereas The Thing was a very adult Horror film. Completely different markets entirely, so I don't think a lack of commercial success can be blamed on ET.

The fact that they came out in the same year (1987, I think?) was one of the reasons I was comparing them, but not the only one. It mostly came down to the fact that they are low budget vampire movies.

Hardly unusual behaviour; it is nearly impossible to have a conversation about Bond movies these days without another franchise about a highly trained secret agent being mentioned. I haven't mentioned the name of said franchise, but do I really need to? The fact that it is a similair genre and a similair timeframe kind of leads to obvious comparisons.

Comparison between said spy films are obvious ones, because they're both pretty much of the exact same genre.

The Lost Boys is more of a comedy horror, so I don't even see it as the same genre of Near Dark. Besides that, Lost Boys was actually quite a bit budget film by 80's standards.

Corey Feldman, I loved the first movie.

There's been talk that it may recieve a cinema release. The Coreys' show is supposed to be pulling in a massive audiance state side and they hope that this coupled with fan interest will secure a decent return on the studios investment.

I'm acutually quiety optimistic about this one. Direct to DVD isn't the bad thing it once was. I'm a massive fan of the original, in fact the last thing I see every night is the poster for it. So fingers crossed this isn't another part of my childhood that's raped.

Kiefer Sutherland's brother has signed on, as has Jamison Newlander who played Alan Frog in the original.

A number of sequels are going that direction, with Wrong Turn 2 recieveing a number of excellent reviews, many reviewers saying that it deserves a cinema release it's that good. House on Haunted Hill 2 and there are also rumours that we may finially get Street Trash 2 direct to DVD in the coming years.

I hope there is a special part of hell put aside for all these marketing bastards who are hell bent on destroying classic movies

Yea,that would have been a much better idea,I'd even have gone to see it
at the cinema.I loved the Lost Boys,for years it was in my top five films of
all time.I was all for a sequel about 17 or 18 years ago but it just wont work
now.Has anybody seen the state Corey Haim,he looks unrecognisable.
The years of alcohol and drug abuse have taken there toll on him.

Last i heard Corey was trying to sell his teeth on ebay. No on bought them.

Dear God in heaven, no!!!

I've been watching "The 2 Coreys" - it's actually quite a good show. Feldman comes across as being quite level headed, he has a stunning wife & georgous house. Haim comes across as a bit of an idiot.

Episode 2 Feldman revealed he'd been asked to make a cameo in the sequal but Haim hadn't (haim starts crying "why won't they let me work" at this), Feldman says "I'm not doing it without you".

'The Lost Boys 2: The Tribe' Trailer

Saw the trailer earleir and thought it looked poor. I was hoping that P.J. Pesce would at least deliver a film as fun as his previous vampire en-devour, From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangmans Daughter, but after watching the trailer I think we may as well give up all hope for this being decent. That said I've yet to remove it from my preorders, so deep down some small part of me still has hope.
