Fang This: New 'Lost Boys 2' Pic
Filed under: Horror, Casting, Home Entertainment, Remakes and Sequels, Images
Eminently rewatchable, a near-perfect slice of California cool versus East Coast paranoia, dancing on the edge of the truly ridiculous, The Lost Boys neatly captured the zeitgeist in 1987. Pitting a gang of ultra-hip young thrill-seeking vampires against a town that epitomized Middle American values was a master stroke. As Scott Weinberg commented more than a year ago, fans have been clamoring for a sequel ever since. Scott reported that a sequel was finally in the works, but that it would be direct to video, filmed in sunny San Diego, and revolve around Surfer Vampires.
Monika Bartyzel told us that Autumn Reeser (my favorite cute, insecure wisecracker from The OC) had been added to the cast as "a girl who moves with her brother to Trinidad, California and is seduced by the leader of the vamp surfers." Erik Davis broke our hearts with the news that Corey Haim would not be appearing in the film * (see update below), though Corey Feldman is still intact (phew!) and the production had moved to Vancouver.
To whet your appetite further, ShockTillYouDrop has an exclusive look at a new fang-tabulous still from The Lost Boys 2: The Tribe. You can check it out in all its full-blooded splendor at their site, where you can also see who's underneath the bloody vampire. Shock also lists Tad Hilgenbrink (American Pie Presents Band Camp) and Angus Sutherland as additional cast members. P.J. Pesce directs. Look for it to hit DVD shelves this July.
UPDATE: As our faithful commenters kindly pointed out, Corey Haim will indeed be making an appearance, as reported by someone at some movie site I really should read once in a while. Thank you, readers!

Corey Haim is back in the movie! He has confirmed via his official website http://www.coreyhaim.us and the writer of the film, Hans Rodionoff, confirmed via an interview with Moviehole.net and on Shocktillyoudrop.com that Pj Pesce filmed additional scenes in California featuring Corey Haim and Corey Feldman (though Feldman had already filmed tons of stuff for the movie)
There is also going to be a comic book to bridge the two movies featuring the Frog Brothers called Lost Boys: Reign of Frogs, which is coming out May 14th. You can see a picture of the cover at http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=4822

I'm just trying a different approach to get the WARNER BROS to take notice and put the sequel on the big screen.
Corey Feldman and Corey Haim on the BIG SCREEN again is well worth this effort!!!
POST THIS AROUND THE NET IF YOU CAN....THE MORE VIEWS, THE BETTER CHANCE OF IT BEING NOTICED!!!! DIRECT TO DVD IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!
