IESB scored some news this evening that Warner Home Video has slated The Lost Boys 2 for production in 2007. We are able to 100% confirm his scoop because one of our good friends has actually gone in with the possibility of directing the long delayed sequel. Read on for the news on who mgiht return, what the film could be about and more.
Before we dive into IESB's scoop, we can confirm to you guys that Warner Home Video has been in deep discussion with a few directors and are in fact looking to push this project forward. The only problem is there is no script yet, just an idea. The idea is exactly as was reported: "The story will revolve around surfing vampires in Southern California."
The website also mentions "that executive producer Richard Donner talked about doing a sequel that would show Edgar and Alan Frog A.K.A. The Frog brothers (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander in the original film) starting a vampire hunting business that would take them to Washington D.C." We have also confirmed that Feldman has been approached for the sequel, and that there's a good chance he'll return. Think they might run with this subplot?
We'll keep you posted on our end and if our buddy is chosen you'll hear about it here first. Watch for more details as they come in.

It sounds like Dream a little Dream part two, but if they could pull it off without some big co-stars like the first movie, maybe it could work. Maybe get some of Feldman's friends involved like Marilyn Manson in either an actting or soundtrack role.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo! They're gonna taint the PERFECT original with this tripe by mere association! Thank god a sequel has never been made! They caught lightning in a bottle in 1987 with the astounding blend of direction, style, pace, music and cast! They're gonna screw this up! I hope to GOD this never gets made!

Oh Mylanta. This is horrible. I've watched the Lost Boys twice in the past week (Cinemax has been showing it). It's one of my alltime favorite movies...I have it on VHS and DVD. To screw with a great script like that is unfathomable.

I have to agree that as wonderful as it was it should just be left alone.
