Warner Premiere Announces 'Lost Boys 3'

Filed under: Horror », Casting », Deals », Warner Brothers », Scripts », Remakes and Sequels »

Fine, I'll admit it: I sat down and watched the craptastic sequel to Lost Boys, The Tribe. Lord knows I wish I hadn't, but it was the film equivalent of a train wreck and it was just too hard to look away. But even I have my limits, so I'm not sure what to think about the latest bad idea from Warner Premiere: Lost Boys 3. Bloody Disgusting announced that Warners has given the go-ahead for another direct-to-DVD sequel, and have hired Evan Charnov (Fearless) to pen the script.

According to BD, Edgar Frog (aka Corey Feldman) will be back, along with the lesser known Frog, Jamison Newlander. So instead of trying for a re-tread of the first film like last time, Charnov's script is going to focus on the Frog brothers (and why, oh why, didn't they just do this in the first place?) But the Frog brothers will probably be the only familiar faces coming back for another go round, because I highly doubt that anyone will be knocking on Corey Haim's door after what happened the last time. There is no release date for Lost Boys 3 so far, but let's be honest with ourselves -- this kind of straight-to-DVD flick can probably be knocked out in a weekend.

So what do you think? Maybe if we all pretend that Lost Boys 2 never happened we'll finally get the sequel we deserve. Then again, maybe we should all turn away and pretend like the whole thing is just a bad dream ... a very bad dream.

Feldman and Haim Are Returning for 'Lost Boys 2,' Source Says

Last time we told you about Lost Boys 2, Corey Haim was bent over, arms wrapped around Corey Feldman, crying like a guy who just realized his various drug addictions had caused his career to go into the toilet. The scene was part of the new "reality" show The Two Coreys, and it began when Feldman told Haim they were making a direct-to-DVD Lost Boys sequel without, well, the two Coreys. Feldman insisted that he had been asked to make a cameo, but wasn't going to if Haim wasn't invited to join in on the fun too. Now, however, it appears a lot has changed. ShockTillYouDrop is reporting (via an anonymous source) that not only are Feldman and Haim returning for the sequel, but fellow Frog brother Jamison Newlander (who also appeared on the "reality" show in the same episode) will join them.

And just when you thought things couldn't get any stranger, the horror site also claims Keifer Sutherland's half-brother, Angus Sutherland, has been cast as the film's vampire villain. (For those not familiar with the original, Kiefer himself played villain.) His half-brother. Angus. I love it! Tad Hilgenbrink and Autumn Reeser have been cast in the lead roles, while P.J. Pesce (From Dusk Till Dawn 3) will direct. Production is set to begin a week from tomorrow. Now I'm not one to anticipate direct-to-DVD sequels, but this one has the potential of being so damn bad, I'm almost dying to see it. If anything, it should be fascinating to watch Feldman, Haim and Newlander together again, on the small screen, for the first time in 20 years. Hopefully some movie theater out there will host a screening of the sequel, because for my money, I want to witness this atrocity on the big screen first.
