Feldman tells Haim that he was asked to be in part 2 and Haim wasn't
kinda sad

[Melanie Jarvis]

That sucks for Haim. You would think they'd be trying to get as many people from the original as possible. But like Haim mentioned, people don't want to use him because he still hasn't been sober that long. I'm glad that Feldman was able to break out of it when he did or else he would probably be broke along with Haim. Well, I hope that Haim gets back into acting soon. He deserves another chance.

[sCabbOy]

That does suck... but Haim has opportunities to act. Independent movies would love the chance to have his name on a DVD (and he was in a lot of indies like Fever Lake, Back Lot Murders, Demolition High/University) he should look there. Sure the pay sucks but it's a good way to prove him self POST addiction.

CASTING NEWS: THE FROGS AND HAIM RETURN:D...?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXCL: First Lost Boys 2 Casting News!
Source: Ryan RottenAugust 11, 2007


Our last report on Warner Bros.' long-mooted The Lost Boys 2 was a mawkish affair. As it turns out, the on-air wetworks was merely a display of crocodile tears.

ShockTillYouDrop.com has exclusively learned from an anonymous source that the vampire-slayin' Frog Bros. - Feldman and Jamison Newlander - are indeed returning for the next "Lost" adventure...and so is Corey Haim, reprising his role as Sam Emerson.

Lensing begins, with P.J. Pesce (From Dusk Till Dawn 3) at the helm, a week from Monday.

On the newcomer tip, we've also been informed Angus Sutherland - Keifer's half-brother (and son of Donald Sutherland and Francine Racette) - will star as this film's big bad vamp.

Tad Hilgenbrink (next seen in the upcoming Amusement) and Autumn Reeser ("The O.C.") have been cast as the leads.

[The Dream Master]

It still sucks that this is DTV, but at least that's some good news. I'll actually bother to rent it now.

[Andiac]

Regarding the clip of Coredy Feldman talking to the other guy, it's all set up. It's just a joke.

[Spade]

The Corey's kicking vampire ass again... I can't wait.

Take care and God bless.

Spade

[The 5th Golden Girl]

Yeah, yeah, yeah... the Coreys. Big whoop. My question is... where is the Wiest? Give me Wiest, damn it!

[Brett H.]

I am really excited for it now. As long as the Coreys aren't just making a cameo.

[Melanie Jarvis]

Sounds like this might be decent afterall. It would be great if they decided to release it in theatres though. I think it deserves better than DTV. Where is Jason Patric?

[Darth Sinister]

I don't think there's much need for having Jason Patric and Diane Weist, since their stories were all tapped out. And Sam and the Frog brothers are all older now, so they don't need to be with parents. I'm guessing that the story will revolve around Sam and the Frog brothers acting as vampire hunters, in the years since the first film. And now they're probably being targeted by David's brother, who became a vampire at some point and have been trying to catch up to them since then.

[hack slash]

I think Haim will die in the first 10 minutes as will the Frogs

[D-Lo]

I'm stoked about this now. The Coreys must in it or no deal.

[El Rooto]

Tom Savini reveals that this flick is probably going theatrical.

August 19: Tom Savini joins LOST BOYS sequel

Tom Savini will appear in LOST BOYS: THE TRIBE, the makeup FX legend/actor told FANGORIA RADIO Friday night. "I'm one of the first vampires you see in the movie," Savini said of the sequel to the much-loved 1987 Joel (THE NUMBER 23) Schumacher teen horror hit. "I'm a surfer who runs into the vampires at the beginning of the film, in a sequence that is shot very Sergio Leone-style [à la the extreme close-up prologue of the director's classic ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST]. They're shooting THE TRIBE in Vancouver right now, and I'll be there September 11."

Savini also confirmed that original LOST BOYS stars Corey Feldman and Corey Haim, who played young vampire slayers Edgar Frog and Sam, will return in the sequel. On their summer A&E pseudo-reality show THE TWO COREYS, the formerly debauched teen idols openly bemoaned the fact that the LOST BOYS sequel would not be requiring their services. "Both Coreys are in it now," Savini said. "And originally it was going to be direct to video, but because of the success of their reality show, THE TRIBE is going to go theatrical."

Angus Sutherland, Kiefer's half-brother, will topline the sequel, along with Tad (AMUSEMENT) Hilgenbrink and TV hottie Autumn (THE O.C.) Reeser. LOST BOYS: THE TRIBE director P.J. Pesce previously helmed another bloodsucker follow-up, FROM DUSK TILL DAWN 3: HANGMAN'S DAUGHTER, as well as episodes of TREMORS, MONSTERS and PROFILER; scripter Hans Rodionoff explored the horror genre with MAN-THING and Clive Barker's SAINT SINNER. Savini will segue from THE TRIBE into another Canadian acting gig, HIRED GUNS. "It's a spaghetti Western tribute," he said. "It will star a lot of great people, like Ed [CREEPSHOW] Harris, Franco Nero and Bud Spencer." Catch Savini in January at our Austin Fango con, and watch for more details on LOST BOYS: THE TRIBE right here. —Tony Timpone

that's cool, hopefully it'll be good

[The Dream Master]

I love how everyone keeps fucking up and referring to Haim as a vampire hunter/slayer in the original film. Jamison Newlander was the other Frog brother, not Haim. I'm glad they'll all be back, though, apparently.

he did help slay the vampires so technically wouldn't he be a Vampire Slayer and it doesn't say Haim is one of the Frog brothers

[The Dream Master]

I know, but most people incorrectly think that the two Coreys played the Frog Brothers. You never hear anything about Jamison Newlander, whose presence is almost as crucial as the two Coreys as far as I'm concerned.

Oh, and I still think it's shitty that they aren't even going to try to make this be the sequel it could be. There's no reason why they can't make this a theatrical, big-budget affair that won't suck. The market is there.

Haim NOT in part 2??? maybe

Haim's Boys Role in Jeopardy?
Source: Ryan Rotten, MTV Movies BlogAugust 28, 2007


This all sounds like a bunch of sensational tabloid hokum, but if actor Corey Haim does not ultimately show up in Warner Bros.' The Lost Boys 2, at least we know why.

According to a report at the MTV Movies Blog, Haim's manager phoned in stating there are some immigration hurdles the actor needs to leap over to be able to work on the Vancouver location.

Warner Bros., however, is efforting to sort things out, so time will tell if the Corey will join his partner in crime, Feldman, who is now on location.

[Brett H.]

Uhhhh... isn't Corey Haim Canadian?

[Just Jeans]

Doesn't mean he can't have legal issues trying to get back into the country.

Moviehole reports Kyle Cassie (Devour), Shaun Sipos (The Grudge 2) and Merwin Mondesir will join Angus Sutherland as the The Lost Boys 2's main vamps.

And following up on yesterday's report, the site cofirms Haim is facing trouble getting onto the production. But because he is an "integral" part of the film, Warner Bros. is still working hard to bypass any immigration problems facing the actor.

HAIM OUT

It's Official: Haim Out of Lost Boys 2
Source: Ryan RottenAugust 31, 2007


Corey Haim's rollercoaster of a ride with Warner Bros.' The Lost Boys 2 is over.

ShockTillYouDrop.com received word from a reliable source that the enthusiastic, if not emotionally fragile, actor is officially out of the sequel. Details given were not specific, but our source did allude to this week's rumblings of an immigration snafu.

His partner in crime, Corey Feldman, is currently in Vancouver fulfilling his obligation to the sequel.

This now raises the question, will Haim be replaced or written out entirely? We'll keep digging until we hear more.

[The Dark Vampire]

Well at least they tried and it's not the script or studios fault that Haim wasn't allowed into Canada

[The Dream Master]

Aw fuck. I'm officially not interested in this again.

[Brett H.]

I can't figure this out for the life of me.

[The Dream Master]

Maybe you guys disowned him, eh?

[The Dark Vampire]

Maybe he will make license 2 drive

[Brett H.]

The worst part about this is I'm really sad to see him not in it.

I just don't know how they re-write an entire part so fast unless he's not in a big role. They'd have to recast.

[Just Jeans]

What the mother fuck, man? :meh: Haim wanted to be in this film so badly. To be kept out by some immigration nonsense is just shitty. It's depressing -- I was keen to see him back in it.

Warner's Lost Boys 2 Synopsis
Source: Ryan RottenSeptember 3, 2007


Warner Premiere has released, via a press release, the official synopsis for their upcoming direct-to-DVD sequel The Lost Boys 2.

The sequel takes us to the shady surf city of Luna Bay, California, where vampires quickly dispatch anyone who crosses their path. Into this dark world arrive Chris Emerson (Tad Hilgenbrink) and his younger sister, Nicole (Autumn Reeser). Having just lost their parents in a car accident, the siblings move in with their eccentric Aunt Jillian and become new prey for the locals’ way of life. When Nicole unwittingly falls for a local vampire, Chris must locate and destroy the gang’s lifeline before his sister’s transformation is complete; to do this Chris finds himself relying on the expertise of none other than Edgar Frog (Corey Feldman). Subtle references to characters from the original film, and cameos from returning actors offer homage to the Lost Boys legend and set a sinister tone of impending doom.

Said press release also reiterated what we first confirmed for you here regarding Corey Haim's non-involvement.

Says Feldman in the release, "I am truly excited to be on board for this sequel. After reading the latest script I genuinely believe we can deliver a sequel the fans can sink their teeth into. I also commend Warner Premiere on their choice to include Jamison Newlander. Edgar Frog has been laying in wait for 20 years to stake some more vampires and that is exactly what he intends to do with his brother Alan by his side."

In further casting news, Moviehole reports actress Moneca Delain (Trick 'r Treat) is a new addition to the film.

HAIM PULLED OUT OF PART 2, so says Feldman
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feldman's Bloggin' About Lost Boys 2
Source: Ryan Rotten, The Feldman JournalSeptember 7, 2007


You guys sure are eatin' up the whole Corey Haim/The Lost Boys 2 fiasco. Who knew? Because you demand more on Haim's recent in-and-out, here's more.

The other Corey - that's Feldman to you, sucka' - posted a blog update with his take on Haim's departure.

I feel that I need to address some of the statements that have been made in reference to Corey Haim’s and my friendship and his participation in Lost Boys 2. I have always considered Corey Haim a brother and dear friend and have always been there for him. Although I am deeply saddened that he has decided not to participate in Lost Boys 2, it was strictly his decision. For the record, I was not willing to go forward with any production or deal until I was assured that Corey Haim was onboard. I received confirmation from my representation that Haim had announced that he was officially attached to Lost Boys 2.

After starting production in Vancouver, I learned that Haim had chosen to pull out of the project. The reasons for his decisions are his and his alone. Although I am saddened by Haim’s departure, I am enjoying working on the film and am very excited about working with my Frog Brother Jamison Newlander and to carry the torch forward. I am very proud to be part of this highly anticipated sequel for Warner Brothers and feel confident that we are making a film that the fans will welcome as a complimentary addition to the franchise.

Personally, speaking, the Frog Bros. are Feldman and Newlander, so the loss of Haim doesn't really come as a blow to me. It would have been nice to see the complete trifecta. Still, when it comes to slayin' vamps, it's the Frogs you want to call.

[The Dream Master]

This just gets stranger and stranger. Haim seemed like he really wanted to do a Lost Boys sequel, so I'm guessing something major had to happen that he didn't quite agree with.

Regardless, I still stand beside my assertion that WB is royally fucking up with this film. I think they're under-estimating the fanbase of the original film--I think a proper, well-done theatrical sequel would be very profitable. Instead, we're probably going to get some half-baked garbage that's a sequel in name only (besides the return of the Frog Brothers).

[Melanie Jarvis]

Urgh! This friggin sucks! Hopefully Haim will be brought back into the project eventually.

[Just Jeans]

They probably kill his character off early on in the film. Haim didn't like it, so he bailed.

[Chex]

While it's sad that after all the ups and downs of Haim not in the film, then in the film, taken out of the film, put back into the film, and finally leaving the film, his part has to end like that. Besides his presence not being there, it looks like it's also enough to kill the idea of a theatrical release as well. :(

Even so, I commend Feldman for still sticking to the project and how well some of the other cast has come along.

[Melanie Jarvis]

[The Dream Master]

I'll leave you the honors for tomorrow.

Anyway, how about that Lost Boys sequel? I still say WB is underestimating the audience for this movie. There's no reason why they couldn't have given this a decent budget, included Haim, and make it a theatrical release.

[Chex]

I agree in that they could churn out more money and expect to possibly make more as well. It seems like they're taking the different approach to this which is:

-The big names the public remembers from the first don't cost much.
-It's a sequel to a very well known cult hit.
-Easy to advertise for due to the name.
-DTV sales are actually somewhat decent.

Basically, they'll put in as little as they have to in order to see a decent return. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if it's a sequel to a film or an original idea. Low input money with a good chance of seeing much more in the return is all that matters.

[The Dream Master]

Oh yeah, I definately see the appeal from a business standpoint. It's more of a sure thing by going DTV, but I think they'd be rewarded if they took the risk to invest more into it.

[Chex]

I could see it going either way.

Wrong Turn 2 did very well on DVD. If the studio gives this film quite a bit of advertisement then it could be just as good.

Theatrical wise, I'm honestly just not sure if it would pay off. I'm not sure if the public would buy into it and want to spend the amount for a ticket price to see it. Then there's distribution to watch out for and possibly more marketing costs.

[Just Jeans]

Atkins doesn't even have to leave the house -- the ladies bring the brew to him.

(stupid Dragonball).

You could have just talked about it in the film thread, with the rest of us -- after all, until there's news about the film, it's ostensibly a "talk about Dragon Ball" thread.

Besides, you and me (and I think French Friday) are the only ones who even watch Dragon Ball. Everyone else just sticks with Dragon Ball Z.

[Melanie Jarvis]

So where is that Tom Atkins thread?

[Chex]

I'll say this is the general rule. Sometimes though there is the exception like we saw in Halloween 3, but that was just Atkins being a nice guy and all. :p

I thought the film thread was just about the upcoming film and didn't want to go too off topic. Oh, and I'm used to calling the entire series Dragon Ball due to the manga. The topic goes into detail how it's for everything related to it (anime, manga, games, movies, etc)

Lost Boys 2 Writer Still Believes (http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=4040)

Before he was hired by Marvel to write an adaptation of the 1970s pulp horror series "Werewolf by Night" writer Hans Rodionoff whipped up a treatment about wave-surfing lycanthropes. He titled the story "The Tribe" and Marvel ultimately recruited Rodionoff to pen "Werewolf," impressed by his outline. "[The Tribe] was something I was just thinking about one day," he explains of its origins. "Surfers are so territorial, they run in these packs and their lives are dictated by the tides. The tides are dictated by the moon. What other thing in the world is dictated by the moon? Werewolves. I wrote this whole treatment and I pitched it around town." Studio reps who received "The Tribe" passed on the project citing too many similarities to Joel Schumacher's 1987 The Lost Boys. "Even Warner Bros. said that. Then they started talking about a sequel to that film and thought the vamps should be these adrenaline junkies fixed on extreme sports and stuff like that. Someone over there said, 'I remember this Hans guy had a script that was too Lost Boys,' and it eventually became The Lost Boys 2."

In post-production under the watchful eye of Warner Bros. at the time of this writing, "Lost Boys 2" is directed by P.J. Pesce. Principal photography based on Rodionoff's screenplay began earlier this year in Vancouver. Tad Hilgenbrink and Autumn Reeser star as Chris and Nicole, respectively, son and daughter of Michael and Star (Jason Patric and Jamie Gertz's characters from the first film). With their parents gone, they relocate to Luna Bay where Nicole unknowingly takes a vampire for her boyfriend. Chris then turns to the authority on bloodsucker beatdowns Edgar Frog (Corey Feldman reprising his role) for help.

"It's definitely not a repeat," Rodionoff tells Shock in an exclusive chat. "I think, on the surface, you can read the logline and it seems like a remake by a different name. What we had first was that it was going to be the original but flipped on its head. Our protagonists were already living in the town and the vampires are the ones who blew in. That's still true, but the only person who's a constant figure in the town is Edgar Frog. Chris and Nicole Emerson and the vamps arrive, they converge on Edgar."

Leader of the new vamp pack is actor Angus Sutherland, real-life brother of Kiefer, here playing Shane who travels the world with his fanged chums. Yes, they're surfing vampires. But Rodionoff is quick to dismiss that these are not the stereotypical "bro" and "dude"-dropping wave riders we've seen in cinema countless times. Roving gypsies is more like it. Traveling the world and pissed off that they've been deprived of sunlight.

"You don't really get to see them surfing much in the movie. I didn't want them to be fake and create surfers that don't exist. If I did that, I knew my surfer friends were going to be beat me up and then the horror crowd would beat me up," he laughs. "The idea isn't that they were vampires who decided to start surfing. They were surfers who, while they were in Fiji or something, were attacked. They can't go in the sun. They have to get their kicks now in other ways - which translates to killing. They're not what you think of when you say surfers."

The vampiric abilities established in the original film haven't changed either. There's still flying and a sundry dramatic ways to bite the dust (garlic bolos, holy water balloon grenades) - which makes Frog's job all the more unpredictable. Scrutinizing fans will note, however, a change in the overall look of the vampires. "It's more 30 Days of Night and less Lost Boys. That's the only difference stylistically. P.J. did his homework. You watch the first film and then this film and you feel like they fit. There's no digression in tone. There's a love scene that's all full of dissolves and 'Cry Little Sister' plays over it." Hold the phone, Gerard McMann's pulsing, fist-pumping, essential-for-any-iPod theme from the original is making an encore? Rodionoff tells us it's going to be a cover, and, better still, "The saxophone guy comes back in a way that's pretty great! I had written that in the script. And it was funny 'cause it was a reference nobody at WB got except for P.J. He was like, 'I got your back brother, we're getting him back in the movie.' To me this movie feels like a nice tip of the hat to the original. What Schumacher did to the original was so different. There are those movies that create a new language for cinematic look. The Matrix created a look of green movies, 300 will spawn imitators. The Lost Boys was like that."

Of course, a proper sequel like this couldn't thrive without a few returning characters (beyond the aforementioned greased up sax player). The return of Feldman and fellow Frog Jamison Newlander more than fills that need. "Corey is ridiculously cool - he steals the movie. Corey is there 110-percent every minute he's on the screen. Every line he delivers is perfect. If this movie goes theatrical, it'll be a comeback movie, but even if it doesn't, fans will look at him differently. He sells lines that you don't think are sell-able."

Rodionoff laments the early death of one scene that proved too costly to film. In an homage to Lucio Fulci's undead/shark ocean floor tussle, he says he wrote a vampire versus Great White shark smackdown that, "would've been epic!" In the film's opening that was indeed shot, FX maestro Tom Savini appears in a cameo turn. Shooting the scene demonstrated a sick synchronicity between Pesce and his writer. "The surfers hop Savini's fence and he's got this kick-ass pad right on the beach. They surf out in front of his house, you don't know they're vampires yet. So they're coming out of the ocean and Savini comes down and he's like, 'What are you doing on my beach?' And they something about him not owning the ocean. Savini's like, 'I own everything on this beach, the ocean and your four asses right now.' The moment is a bit Blade II-ish. So I told P.J. that you want to create a situation where you feel like someone's the victim, then you turn it. Savini turns into a vamp and is about to kill these guys but then they turn into vamps and kick the shit out of him. Then they cut his head off 'cause they don't want him coming back. PJ was like, 'Then they should take his head and punt it into the ocean!' I was like, 'I really, really like you.'"

Warner Bros. is still deciding on whether The Lost Boys 2 will go theatrical or direct-to-DVD. "The theatrical thing is a carrot they usually dangle in front of you during production," says Rodionoff. "But the fact that they're talking about it even during post-production is a good thing." And, of course, the door for a third chapter is wide open. "We'll see if Lost Boys 3 ends up happening, I've got some great ideas for that. 'Cause it's gonna be a whole different thing. If they do a third one, it has to be about Corey - Edgar Frog's movie all the way."

I heard a cover of it a few years back, and if it's the same one that ends up in the film, it's not bad at all.

Cool to know that Tim Cappello (the sax player) is back, but the lack of Haim (for whatever reason) is probably still going to hurt this film for me.

[Fowlees]

Cool to know that Tim Cappello (the sax player) is back, but the lack of Haim (for whatever reason) is probably still going to hurt this film for me.

Yahoo! Cappello's back . Lets hope we see him sucking hard on his 'ol saxophone sometime real soon.:D

[The One and Only]

From Arrow In The Head.com, word has it that Lost Boys:The Tribe will be released on DVD this summer. Also word has it that a third installment is already in the works, focusing on Feldman's character, Edger Frog.

[Jack Bauer]

Damm, I was hoping a wide release, but a solo film might suggest: the other Frog brother might die?

[Just Jeans]

A series of direct to DVD sequels staring Corey Feldman? I can dig it.

[Jack Bauer]

Come on, Friday The 13th Part 11: The Return of Tommy Jarvis.

LOST BOYS 2 RESHOOTS HAVE A REASON HAIM IS BACK IN!!!!!:D

EXCL: Corey Haim Back in Lost Boys 2!
Source: Ryan RottenFebruary 8, 2008


He was in, he was out, now Corey Haim is officially reporting for vampire slaying duty in Warner Bros.' The Lost Boys 2: The Tribe.

Overnight, we reported news of additional shooting (via Corey Feldman's blog) and now we know why: All of the scenes excised from the script involving the Sam Emerson character are being re-introduced to the film.

Director P.J. Pesce is heading back behind the camera to lens the previously penned sequences (pre-strike, naturally) with Corey Haim playing Emerson. Feldman, as mentioned, will be involved and shooting is expected to begin very soon.

We're told this will not affect Warner Premiere's DVD release of "Lost Boys 2" and a summer debut is still in the cards.

[The Dream Master]

Fuck yes. Now I just wish this would go theatrical.

[Just Jeans]

If his role was as substantial as Feldman's, they'd probably have to delay the film to squeeze him back in.

Bet he gets killed. And fairly quickly to boot.

[Fowlees]

Bet he gets killed. And fairly quickly to boot.

Maybe he'll have a brain anuerism due to all those silly headscarfs he wears in real life :lol:

[Scarecrow]

Still, interesting. If this does go to cinemas that'll have to be one of the top ten lopngets gaps betweens sequels, surely?


- Scarecrow

[The Dream Master]

Let's see...

The Hustler and The Color of Money had a long gap.
Chinatown and The Two Jakes is another.
Rambo III and Rambo comes to mind, as does Rocky V and Rocky Balboa.
The Last Picture Show and Texasville were almost 20 years apart.
The longest has to be the damn near 50 years between The Wizard of Oz and Return to Oz.

So yeah, The Lost Boys and its sequel has to be up there.

[Brett H.]

Fuck yeah! HAIMSTER AND FELDOG!

[Spade]

I think this is very good news. I can't wait to see it.

You're probably right, but I hope not.

Lost Boys 2 scribe talks Haim return (http://www.moviehole.net/news/20080213_lost_boys_2_scribe_talks_haim.html)

“Lost Boys 2” writer Hans Rodionoff dropped us a line to corroborate reports that Corey Haim had indeed been reinstated for the sequel.

“Sam Emerson was in the earliest drafts of the screenplay, and when it looked like we weren't going to be able to cast Corey Haim, I begrudgingly took the scenes out and wrote around the holes. Recently, I got a call that said that Corey would be able to do the scenes, and Warner Bros. was happy enough with the movie that they felt like spending a little extra to work Sam Emerson into the movie would be money well spent. So, I dug back into my old files and found the deleted scenes with Sam Emerson and sent them to PJ. I really feel like Sam Emerson is a crucial part of the Lost Boys legacy, and I'm glad that his scenes will end up in the film.”

[nottidelterrore]

It's good to hear that Haim is back in.

I'm actually looking forward to this. I know it won't be better than the original. That's a given.

[girlychaos]

I can't wait to watch it...especially now that C. Haim is back in. I think it can be pretty good...I hope I'm right.

[kramerfan]

Thats great news.No it will never be as great as the first film.

[The One and Only]

According to Feldman himself, the trailer for The Lost Boys:The Tribe will be showing up on the DVD release of I Am Legend.

Trailer news (http://coreyfeldman.wordpress.com/2008/03/11/lost-boys-the-tribetrailer-world-premier-on-mtv/) from Feldman

Well the time has finally arrived for you to get your first reel peek at the sequel to The Lost Boys…….21 years in the making, and the endless night finally sees it’s dawn. So dramatic. Can I get a drum-roll please?

As previously mentioned MTV and MTV.com will be getting the exclusive world premier of the new trailer for LB2 otherwise known as (officially titled) Lost Boys The Tribe. Warner Brothers has graced me with the honor of breaking this news to you first before anybody else even get’s the chance, and I have to say I am honored and thrilled to be able to present the trailer directly to you via MTV. The trailer will be available to own for yourself when it is released on 5 million copies of the Wil Smith film I am Legend, which ships nation wide next Tuesday. But for now, it will premier presented by myself, on MTV.com Wednesday March 12th (tomorrow for those without a calendar) at 8 A.M. Eastern Standard time.

Accompanying the trailer will be a new interview , I did just last week talking more in depth about the film. I would like to acknowledge and thank MTV for their amazing support of this project from the start. As MTV was such a huge part of the success of the original film it is only fitting that they would be on the front lines of the sequels release. MTV network will also be running the interview in their news segments along with a condensed version of the trailer. Also bear in mind the trailer that MTV will premier will be a tad different than the version that will be released next week. I really hope you like it, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts. Please don’t be afraid to come back here and post your thoughts after you’ve had the chance to view it. Don’t worry your thoughts are always welcome, good , bad, or vampire ugly (hope you like it though). By the way if you do like it spread the word as nothing will ensure a theatrical release like a positive response to the trailer.

Obviously………there’s a lot at STAKE!!!!

[Spade]

I can't wait to see the trailer.

I wonder if the true star of The Lost Boys will make an appearance:

Okay folks, here it is. The long awaited trailer to Lost Boys:The Tribe. Hit here to find out if it was worth the wait. (http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?vid=215372)

Pretty good. It's got a much higher quality look than I expected.

They should change the title to "Lost Boys 2: Your Sister's A Suckmonkey"

[Toejam]

Were is Alan Frog? The talk about a possible third film focosing on Edgar,
and the severe lack of Alan in the trailer, leads me to believe Alan Frog may be
killed. Possibly at the beginning or in a flashback.

One thing I liked about the first film was the Frog brothers being nearly useless in
the actual application of Vampire hunting. Sam and Michael had to do most of the dirty
work, while the Frog brothers totally panicked. Maybe, Alan's death and having to avenge it,
is one of the reasons Edgar looks to be on top of his game in the trailer.

[Jack Bauer]

I was guessing that Alan died as well, or Corey F. just wanted to have the spotlight shine on him

[SoulOnFire]

Was Haim even in that trailer? It was so dark I could only tell who Feldman was. And that emo sounding cover of "Cry Little Sister" needs to go. Should have used the updated version Gerard McMann recorded a few years ago.

But still, I'm hyped for it. Been waiting twenty years for this. Bring it on!

[hack slash]

actually looks better than I thought it would

[Melanie Jarvis]

After seeing the trailer, I am actually not dreading this movie anymore.

[The Dream Master]

Eh, it looks like a DTV flick for the first half of the trailer, so I was worried. It got better though towards the middle. I'm still pumped for it, regardless.

Also, where was Haim?

[sCabbOy]

I thought it looked really shitty.

[Spade]

I think it looked pretty good. I'll be sure to watch it.

[girlychaos]

I liked it too...can't wait to see it.

[The One and Only]

Quote by Cody:

Then on top of that have Autum Reeser's top keep flying off throughout the end credits to the flick's theme song.:shy:

[Sean [The Wildcard]]

Oh Wow...I'm actually NOW looking forward to this.

[Rick]

Doesn't look any cheesier then the first. Is Jamison Newlander even in the trailer?

[The One and Only]

Second, longer trailer. (http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=11437)While Allan Frogg still doesn't make an appearance as of yet, the Wizard of Gore, Tom Savini does.

[sCabbOy]

I'm just stoked that Feldman DOESN'T have his mullet back.

[Just Jeans]

I thought that Savini's scenes had been cut from the film?
ADDED:
Here's an interesting tidbit -- the guy who recorded the original version of Cry Little Sister has apparently recorded a couple of new songs for this film.
ADDED:
I just watched the longer trailer... it does look like a cheap DTV film. :( The only scenes in the trailer that looked even remotely decent were the scenes with Feldman.

[Rick]

It's entirely possible that, like a lot of films, Savini's scenes were included in the trailer only and may not actually be in the movie.

[The Dream Master]

I just watched the longer trailer... it does look like a cheap DTV film. :( The only scenes in the trailer that looked even remotely decent were the scenes with Feldman.

Sadly, I have to agree about the DTV thing. Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to buy this the day it's out, but I'm not getting too terribly excited as I would for a nice theatrical release.

[Cody]

The first trailer was higher quality than I expected, the second looks like I imagined it would. Yeah, DTV city. But that's fine with me, just as long as it's a fun watch.

[nottidelterrore]

I wonder if the true star of The Lost Boys will make an appearance:

http://www.freewebtown.com/bizmarkie507/pics/Tim%20Cappello.jpg

We can only hope!

I'm actually really looking forward to this now.

[ChoKo]

Haha. I dig the Cappello avatar, notti.

[Brett H.]

Holy shit, this movie looks awesome as tits, great music.

Does anyone know how much Feldog and Haimster are in it? Or, is it just a cameo?

[nottidelterrore]

Haha. I dig the Cappello avatar, notti.

Thanks. That whole scene is hilarious. The song is really good though. I want to swivel my hips & play the sax.

Tim Capello better be in the sequel!

I reckon this film is gonna be a right turkey,.

What's wrong with Coreys voice these days? I thought it was a joke when he opened his mouth. I don't think I will be seeing this at all. The original is just one of those movies... I don't need a crappy sequel to one of my childhood favourites.

[Cody]

I thought that Savini's scenes had been cut from the film?

I hadn't heard that, unless the Haim reshoots replaced it. Savini's scene is/was the opening of the movie.

I'm not sure where this picture originated from, but it's of Corey Haim and Jamison Newlander on set, and is very SPOILERY: Spoil it here. (http://www.gutsandgory.com/forum/messages/2/80871.html?1206073566)

[Just Jeans]

I told you Haim would be getting waxed quick. I've no doubt Feldman will be the one who does for him. And I knew Alan would be in a bad way as well, because all the rumblings on the street have been that they're planning a franchise around Feldman rather than Haim/Feldman/Newlander.

I heard summer.

[The One and Only]

Anyone here read Reign of Frogs yet ? I just got the first issue this week, and thought it was a good read. Anyone else who got it have any thoughts on it ?

[Toejam]

Well, I was enjoying Reign of Frogs until they revealed Grandpa
is a Vamp (implied to be the real head Vamp instead of Max) even though he
was shown outside in the sun during the Film.
Maybe in the third issue they can somehow explain that away.

[The One and Only]

Anyone see this bit of Haim screwing up during filming of LBII on The Two Coreys ? (http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=12900) Kind of sad.

[Sean [The Wildcard]]

I just got done watching that at AITH...and it is indeed sad.

:(

[i am SAW]

if you want to know the reason why Haim isn't in this,
just watch the latest episode of The Two Coreys.

both Feldman and Haim get to the set of The Lost Boys: The Tribe and Haim starts acting all crazy, slurring his words, complaining he can't remember his lines. he goes back into his trailer alone, tells his assistant to get his bag with his "prescription drugs". then a message comes on the screen saying "Haim forgot he had a microphone on and these are the sounds that were recorded". then you can hear him pouring pills out of a bottle, then you hear a big sniffing noise. needless to say Warner Brothers didn't want him on the set anymore. then the next day he went to therapy and cried about the fact that he wanted his career back so bad and he can't believe he blew it again by using drugs. the guy is a drug addict and instead of all these people who claim to love him actually helping him, they're letting him destroy himself just so they can have their stupid reality show. it's pretty sad. then he got on the internet and read a bunch of negative comments people made about him and almost started crying.

EDIT- well i see someone posted the video 2 posts above me.

[DouglasJ]

So is Haim going to be in this or not. Cause at first he was, then he wasn't, then he was again... what's going on?

[Rick]

I remember seeing 1 pic of him onset in make-up.

[sCabbOy]

His name is on IMDB (not that means jack shit)... so hopefully it will be. Probably a very small part.

[Lance Lives]

I'm actually getting kinda excited about this. I don't know why, it'll probably be lackluster...they probably should've left well enough alone.

[nottidelterrore]

I'm sure Haim will be in it but probably a cameo or something. I'm excited for it but like Tim said, it'll probably be lackluster. Still, I can't wait to see it.

[The Dream Master]

According to the lastest issue of Fango, Haim is in it.
ADDED:
It was also confirmed in this post (http://www.f13-community.co.uk/board/showpost.php?p=133172&postcount=142) on the last page, too.

[Lance Lives]

I think that the Two Coreys is somewhat of a advert for this flick and it's kinda working because it's piquing my interest if only to see if Haim is actually in it or not.

[Brett H.]

Per Haim; I was reading some stuff on IMDB from people who have already seen it and they say that Haim is in the movie for like 15 seconds during the end credits. I am glad I knew that going in because I would have spent the whole movie asking WHERE THE FUCK IS HAIMSTER. It's a bit disheartening to say the least. I was hoping for a good 5 minutes or so.

(not huge spoilers at all, but I tagged them anyways)

[girlychaos]

That's really sad indeed, boo. I was hoping he'd be in it for longer too.

At least Feldman is featured a good bit. Well, that's what I gathered from all of the TV spots I've seen. I liked the character of Sam but I liked other characters more than him in the first movie, like Michael & the Frogs. And Grandpa.

[Brett H.]

Truf, notti. Truf. But, I did like Haim's character a lot, he dressed his own way, he was silly as shit, I enjoyed him a lot. How that'd translate to grown Sam is a bit different, though.

At the same time, they say Feldman is pretty good in it (from what little I read). I don't like spoilers and it pisses me off that every idiot on IMDB has spoilers in their reviews. I wish I could get an indication of quality before I witnessed it. I can't believe there are still assholes who see a movie and when someone asks about it, they just blast right into the ending. We're supposed to be movie nerds... how dumb are these people?

[hack slash]

a couple of friends watched LB 2 and said it was pretty good, Feldman was great his stuff with Haim was really good, but the dude from the American Pie DTV crap kinda sucks, and that the endidng kicked ass

I only use IMDb to promote Maniac Cop Fans.

^Yeah baby !! SHAKE THAT MONEYMAKER !!!!:taz::bang::funky:

[Dramarama]

actually Tim Copello plays the saxaphone playing homeless guy, from what I hear.

[Brett H.]

Mr. Disgusting absolutely trashed the movie, but it's kinda vague in the terms that he's not the type of reviewer (apparently) to back shit up with situations from the movie, so I am not sure how to take it.

[SlasherFreak]

So I got to see this today. I don't know what to think of it just yet...


Haim being a vampire at the end, lol, smh...It was pretty much a gorefest. I liked the deer antler kill. And the vampires were almost like comedians. Lol @ the fat guy playing the saxaphone in the streets in the begining. and I didnt know vampires are supposed to throw up blood when theyre stabbed with a stake :D

There were some pretty good scenes....I guess I enjoyed it.

[Brett H.]

Fuck... I just hit quote to Di and I read like a few words about Haim accidentally. I forgot if you quoted someone with spoilers it includes that. Oh well, that could lead to a huge emotional sequel.

But, D-Lo, can you answer some questions for those of us who are dying to see it, pretty pretty please (:p) and perhaps even comment on Mr. Disgusting's negative review? I take the movie would probably be a rental, I'm not expecting gold here, I just don't see 10-15 minutes of quality Edgar Frog being a 2/10. It's just not possible.

Gore good? Feldman kick as much ass as he does in my dreams? Newlander in it much? WE NEED TO KNOW!

[SlasherFreak]

The gore is good. Tom Savini got a pretty cool cameo. It seemed like alot more than 10-15 minutes of Feldman...To tell you the truth, if the other frog brother was in the movie, i mustve missed him getting up to get something to drink or something...i dont even recall seeing him But Feldman does say in his first scene he knows how it feels to lose a loved one to the other side.

The special features are ok (theres some alternate endings I didnt watch yet)


Lol @ the momma or whatever whipping out the Goonies dvd with Feldman in it!


It was enjoyable to watch once I guess...after a night for it to sink it...I think it was kinda lackluster..

[SlasherFreak]

anybody grabbing this today ?

I was fortunate enough to purchase it on Friday (along with Harold and Kumar 2). Having friends who work at Suncoast kicks ass :D

I got around to watching the Edgar Frog special feature last night...good shit. Im gonna watch the alternate endings around lunchtime

Come on, someone go buy this or rent it or some shit so we can talk about it!

[Brett H.]

I just woke up and I bought it, so I'll be reviewing this tonight on OTH and I'd be willing to bet my right nut that DM also got it. There most definitely will be some LB discussion tonight, mon frere!

I also bought Harold & Kumar 2. :p

[The Dream Master]

and I'd be willing to bet my right nut that DM also got it.

You get to hold on to your right nut dere because you're damn right I got it.

HAIMSTER AND FELDOG 4L.

[Brett H.]

I just watched it, it's fucking pretty good. I gotta get my shit together and get a review done and I'll be back.

Feldman is fucking amazing, that's no joke. He's literally fucking amazing in it. Chills me bredren.

Where the fuck was Newlander? Was he the vampire above the cave when Chris and Edgar just walk in? And if so, how the fuck would anyone know that?

ADDED: I just watched that part and it's definitely not Newlander. I have no fucking idea where he showed up in the movie.

ADDEDED: Turns out he was like Haim, only in the credits, his scene was cut. But he looked badass. :(

just watched it. It was OK, some of the acting was BAD(the aunt,,,,GAG) I thought Feldman was good but he was trying way to hard with the voice I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10......it gets the extra .5 because Reeser is HOT:D

Yeah, dude, the aunt sucked, but the character was all right. But on the whole I think the acting was stellar for a film that went DTV. I'd give it a solid 7/10.

But, the gore, holy fuck did the blood flow! I can't be too hard on the film, the dialogue and acting was way better than F vs. J, so I can't fault it on that. And the alternate endings on the DVD are way better. I had chills when Edgar made his re-appearance. Sort of like when Herbert West looked into his neon syringe in Beyond Re-Animator and when you heard ki-ki-ki during F vs. J when the NOES theme was playing. And, don't even get me started on how I felt when I saw the Haimster. :p

And if anyone wants to read a review of the original, DM wrote one for that.

And you know damn well in the reviews you will not find the words Feldman or Haim once. Not once. Only... FELDOG AND HAIMSTER.

[The Dream Master]

Boys, yer pal Boo's positive review is a rarity right there. Apparently we're the only site out there that dug Lost Boys 2.

Is it as memorable as the original? No, but that's a huge legacy to live up to. It is fun and entertaining as hell; it's basically a trashier version of The Lost Boys for the new millenium. Feldog still owns the joint as Edgar Frog.

Oh, and bring on part three.

I feel the exact same way. The story was pretty much a rehash of the first story with new characters.

Am I the only one who liked Tom Savini's cameo? Am I the only one who laughed when dude punted his head like a football and hurt his foot? LOL

[Brett H.]

I've just watched the movie for a second time and I must say the vampires are a lot less asshole-ish this time around, and Angus' performance is slightly better as well. I think what happened was in the original, Sam's brother was the one interacting with the vampires whereas in this time Nicole's the main interest and Chris is the interloper, so the vampires just seem a bit more cruel because, well, we actually see them interact with someone they don't necessarily trust. And hell, let's be real, the reason Chris got kicked off the surf tour was for fucking up one of the vampire's knees, so these relationships aren't going to exactly be rosey. The vampires are just harder on themselves, really, this time around, which is just personal preference of the company. I don't think the vampires would have been too nice to Sam in the original. ;)

Feldog still kicks ass. I dig the outlaw music that plays when he makes his first appearance (and again later). Totally fits because he's so badass.

I thought Savini's cameo was badass with the Aviators rocking and pecks all buff. The kicking may have been a bit much. But, even that is still kind of funny, so I would never get up in arms over it. I think about the only part of the whole movie I don't like is the very very beginning couple minutes. I've read that some are interpreting that Nicole and Chris' relationship is hinting on incest, and I didn't see that at all in either viewings. Of course the same people can't figure out how Edgar got Chris' address (he left it on the door when trying to apply for a job just in case Edgar didn't have a phone.), but some also can't figure out why all the vampires die differently in a fucking Lost Boys movie (I'm looking at you, Mr. Disgusting).

Where I am lost, though, is why Chris' last name in the movie is Emerson, which is the same last name Sam has in the original.

[SlasherFreak]

Which should be obvious cause his sister was bitching about it

[Brett H.]

Which should be obvious cause his sister was bitching about it

Yeah, that's an honest question raised in a real review. I was bored tonight and flipped through all the reviews of LB2 on the external links portion of IMDB and I seriously questioned how closely anyone watched the movie, or how much of a fan of the original the reviewers who stated they were actually were. There are fundamental errors in a lot of reviews out there. Hell, I read one where they complained it was always dreary, it doesn't look like California (the flick was shot in BC where weather is often like that). It'd be a valid argument except the vampire portions of the movie take place over the span of like 24 hours, and it rains hard onscreen twice in that span. That might be why right there. :p

I wouldn't be worried about a few errors, all reviewers make mistakes. But when they're giving the movie, basically, 2-3/10, I have to question it.

[SlasherFreak]

I would probably give the movie a 6 out of 10. Maybe a 7 for some good gore. The vampire throwing up all that blood was pretty gross...and I really like the deer antler kill.

[Geddy Peart]

Sorry to rain your parade guys, but I thought it was ass. Rented it from Blockbuster yesterday, paying $5.02. While I'm glad I didn't pay more, even that was over paying.

I gave it a chance, I really did but I hated it. Everything from the way it looked to the soundtrack.

I know this was a DTH sequel with a low budget, but it had none of the charm or style the original had. It makes me think of eating a nice, juicy steak and then serving the resulting shit as a new meal.

Angus Sutherland may have the last name, but he doesn't even have one-tenth of the acting ability his father and brother possess.

The Haim cameo at the end was pointless, it was like they just put him in there just to say "See, this is a Lost Boys movie!" And I hate that they only mention that Alan was turned. It would have been interesting and given Edgar some depth if they had shown what happened, maybe through flashbacks or something. Then again, doing something like that would have taken some thought and a little effort.

Overall, this just seemed like a shallow excuse to cash in on the Lost Boys name.

Yeah Im saying, it wasnt anything special, but I think at least it deserved a better rating than 2/3 out of 10.

Im more amped about my Harold and Kumar dvd :D

[Melanie Jarvis]

Something I was not too sure on was why exactly Edgar Frog and Sam Emerson appear to have been on bad terms for the past 20 years in the alternate endings.

[SlasherFreak]

Something I was not too sure on was why exactly Edgar Frog and Sam Emerson appear to have been on bad terms for the past 20 years in the alternate endings.

Maybe it was something that would have been adressed in the film if Corey Haim wasn't such a drug addicted fuck up :D

[Melanie Jarvis]

I think a lot more could have been done with the film if Corey Haim would have pulled it together.

[The One and Only]

Maybe some of the reason for the rift are chronicled in the prequel comic, Lost Boys:Riegn of Frogs by the movie's writer, Hans Rodionoff. I'm only up to the book's second issue. So there is still more story to go, and there might be details why Edger and Sam don't get along anymore.

[Melanie Jarvis]

Well, the actual ending shows that Haim is now a vampire. Wonder how that happened. Ahh! Too many questions unanswered!

[Geddy Peart]

Something I was not too sure on was why exactly Edgar Frog and Sam Emerson appear to have been on bad terms for the past 20 years in the alternate endings.


About the alternative endings, I'm glad they didn't use either because hearing about a vampire Alan Frog heading to Luna Bay for a final showdown with the Coreys and then not actually showing the fight would have been a huge let down. Even moreso than this film already is.

There's so much I want to say, but I think I'll refrain for now. My head hurts just thinking about this piece of crap.

[Melanie Jarvis]

I think I was expecting to be more disappointed than I was. This movie was not great, by any means, but I thought it could have been worse. I think they could have added to it a bit, but it was still alright, IMO. I must say, I really didn't mind looking at Angus Sutherland ;)

[The Dream Master]

I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't thrilled when this was announced as DTV because I thought for sure that it would just a sequel cashing in on The Lost Boys name, but once I found out that Feldog was going to be back (and Haim, sort of), I was a little bit more open to things. Would it have been bad ass if Jason Patrick, Kiefer, and everyone else came back from the original? Yes, but I knew that wasn't going to happen months ago, so I adjusted my expectations accordingly, and I would say that this ended up exceeding those expectations. Even if this didn't have Feldog pwning vampires, it'd still be watchable, but with him, it's damn entertaining at times.

That's kind of interesting, actually. To me, and probably most other guys in the thread, we're attracted to girls. So when we see a guy like Angus and he doesn't completely have the epitome of a sort of rock n roll badass or ooze cool, we guys sort of write him off. It's interesting to hear it coming from a woman's perspective because I suppose at the end of the day, the seduction of Nicole is the most important plot point in the movie. Well, besides Feldog at least. The only other woman I've heard talking about the movie said she couldn't hear a word of what Angus said. I think that's exaggerated because I never had to turn the subtitles on once.

I actually really liked the Alan Frog part because he looks like fucking Nikki Sixx when he was cruising. Although I couldn't really explain how he'd look so old, he must have just become a vampire in the realms of vampire logic. He just looked like someone who had been around the block so many time and would really be a badass, but not in the way Kiefer was ;) .

[Dramarama]

lol I haven't seen it yet, the comic book is great.

[Apocalypto]

I just finished watching it, and I actually think I enjoyed it just as much as the first one.

A really fun splatterfest that handles the same idea of the first film just as well but in a more modern way.

[nottidelterrore]

I liked it a good deal for what it was. Could've been a lot better but entertaining nonetheless. Hated the ending though. I'd give it a 7 out of 10. Angus Sutherland was pretty good but no Kiefer. Angus looks so much like his father that it isn't funny.

The Tim Cappello nod was fucking hilarious. I lost it for many minutes after seeing that part. I'm glad that wasn't Tim.

I STILL BELIEVE!

[Joshg]

Watched this.
I quite enjoyed it. It was silly, and over-the-top...not in terms of gore, but...read the review. It's got it on the nail. Buy it!

[The Dream Master]

The Tim Cappello nod was fucking hilarious. I lost it for many minutes after seeing that part. I'm glad that wasn't Tim.


It was. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0135511/) :X

[blink]

I enjoyed it...

Not great but definately enjoyable. I think this is because I really expected to be majorly disappointed with it. However, now that I've had a few days I've realized something. There really wasnt any reason to have high hopes for this. I mean the original is great. The fact that everyone from the original (writers, director, all actors, etc.) weren't back kind of eased me into not expecting much from this. Had everyone of been back then yes, I would have had huge expectations.

Instead, I expected the same basic story told today with gore, a couple of entertaining differences, just a pretty fun experience.

I thought Sutherland did a fine job as the lead vampire. I mean, he was cool, calm, and in control. Remember, he was supposed to be appealing to Sarah. I suppose the way he played it was probably a lot more preferable to girls than Kiefer's character in the original would be.

Also, thank god they used the ending they did. I'm sorry but Haim was sooooo hammy in the two alternate endings that I just felt sorry for him. Just from those clips alone I am no longer disappointed that he was cut from the film for drug use on the set. Frankly, I'm surprised he did as good a job as he did with the ending they did use.

I do feel really bad for Haim and hope that he can clean up his act and get/keep his life together.

[nottidelterrore]

It was. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0135511/) :X

Tim Cappello stated on his official message board that it wasn't him. He's not even in the movie.

They were just making fun of the character.

A recent picture of Tim:

Whew. That's a relief, then. Someone needs to tell IMDB to update their page.

[nottidelterrore]

Seriously. They do need to fix that. That had me excited for the longest time. The saxman spoof was pretty funny. Just glad that wasn't Tim since he was an oiled up sax playing tank in the first movie.

[Lance Lives]

My Blockbuster didn't have a single copy. Not in the sense that they were all rented, they just didn't have any at all.

[nottidelterrore]

I watched it again earlier & I like it more with the second viewing.

[WOLF]

I have to agree with what some others have said about Feldman and Sutherland. Feldman was jarringly bad. Every scene with him should have been cut. Worst performance by any actor that I've seen in a long time.
Sutherland would have been a bad choice for a minor character in the film, but playing the lead villian is a joke.
Some of the pieces were there for a decent DTV sequel. It's too bad some poor casting choices and some bad one liners drag the movie down. Yet if it had been completely recast, it still would have been a pale rehash of the first film.

[Geddy Peart]

Isn't that what it pretty much is anyway?

Well, it would have been a pale rehash without the horrid annoying actors.

I wouldn't call all the Friday sequels pale rehashes.....although some people feel that way. They're certainly rehashes, but as much as I love the original, I like some of the sequels more.

[Erik]

I just finished watching this, and I have to say that it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen. This isn't hyperbole, it's just fact. This movie is the filmmaking equivalent of a rancid, feces covered hamburger being shoved into your mouth. Every aspect is totally and completely inept. The script is non-existent, it could have been directed better by a retarded twelve year old who's never seen a movie in his life, the editing is reminiscent of something you'd get out of an ADD afflicted twelve year old with a basic understanding of Final Cut, and the acting... well, nothing could ever come close to fully describing the level of shittiness that this cast reached in the movie. Feldman especially. I mean, what the fuck was that? It's like he saw Batman Begins and liked Bale's growly voice so much that he thought it'd be totally badass to ape that for an entire movie but inadvertently ended up coming off as fucking no talent jackass who really should have quit while he was ahead, if you could even consider Feldman ever being "ahead" at any point in his career.

I mean, I'm as big a fan of the first one as any of you. Even more so, I'd be willing to bet actually. But this thing is just an embarrassment. There's bad, and then there's bad, and then there's this fucking pile of shit. At least with something like Batman & Robin or an Uwe Boll movie, you can still enjoy its awfulness. This thing is just painful. It's one thing to cash in with a DTV sequel, but to go about it with this level of ineptness is just disgusting. Such a waste of fucking time and money.

My sentiments exactly.

And while Feldman wasn't the worst actor in this film(that honor goes to Angus Sutherland, IMO), he overdid the voice. He sounded stupid, and never once did I think he was "badass". Just bad.

[WOLF]

Skuppy...I haven't seen that one. But his scenes in Lost Boys 2 were unbearable. Think nails on a chalkboard.

[skuppy]

That describes his performance in PMvsDT to a T! lol

[Brett H.]

First thing's first; which movie did you guys watch back in '87? Corey Feldman used the exact same voice in the original that he uses here. And he's not imitating Batman, he's imitating Stallone in Rambo. He was told to do this and it has stood this way for 21 years now. So to not like his performance here would be not liking his performance in the original because he does it both times precisely the same. The trend (not just here) I've noticed when talking about LB2, if someone makes it clear they are big fans of the original, they seemingly are not.

Calling Lost Boys 2 a rehash on an F13 forum is like the pot calling the kettle black. And not to mention, to call it a rehash is one thing, but a threadbare plot would be saying the exact same thing about the first. Because... it's a rehash, right? That's a contradiction right there. As for Angus, I wasn't too hyped upon my first viewing, but once you get used to his voice you actually don't mind his performance one bit. He never displayed poor acting skills whatsoever and neither did anyone else in the movie, sans the Aunt maybe. The Lost Boys 2's vampires are meant to be hated more than making someone actually want to join them. They are the villains much more straightforward whereas in the original they were the outcasts who did what they wanted because they wanted to and had that allure. These are outcasts selling their soul to get away from their pasts and getting a new start. It's more primal and dark (a display of the times)... is that not what everyone wants nowadays? I sure as fuck know people won't shut their mouths about F13/NOES dark appeal. Although the plot is similar to the first, the tone is completely different and the dynamic of brother/sister rather than brother/brother gives it a whole new taste as well.

For those saying the editing sucked and the direction absolutely sucked, please give me an example. I saw no such thing. This sequel gave fans more than they could reasonably expect in this day and age. Feldman is back, the characters of Nicole and Chris are linked to Sam, it's a sequel rather than a remake, they even brought the addled Haim back who no one is giving a chance, Newlander was back in a way. And if (seemingly now, when) the third comes it's going to be a direct link. We basically got what we wanted and still no one is happy.

Don't you know, horror fans are never happy? Seriously, everyone bitches about films, very rarely do you hear praise. Its no wonder horror films don't get released much these days. I believe it was Eli Roth who said horror fans are their own worst enemies (or something to that affect).

Yes, and when the genre eventually winds down and turns into a graveyard like it did in the nineties, very few should complain when we there is no horror to speak of whatsoever. People are quick to forget that horror moves in cycles and when the remake cycle wears down, who knows what will happen? I know it took from Scream's big break in '96 until about '02 for horror to recover properly and it's been coasting along nicely all things considered since. I'm not saying Scream was bad, but I just mean that from the early 90s until Scream's big break there was fuck all and further on until around '02 the horror pickings were slim besides Scream rips, which are pretty universally hated. Not that it should matter to these people when new horror comes out, they haven't liked a new horror movie since the mid eighties anyways, right?

I have qualms about people dissing horror sequels in this day and age, because we're at the point where our genre is almost 80 years old (yes, I know it's older, but '31 is when shit really took off) and if one thing is certain, literally from year fucking four, sequels have been a huge part of the genre. The "unnecessary sequel" crap is just things people say to hear themselves speak, I'm sure, because the genre is founded in a great idea being exploited and supported by the fans.

[The Dream Master]

For my money, I can't think of too many horror sequels that made me say, "you know, that's a beautiful ending. There's no more story to tell there, so they should just end it." Most horror films by nature end with the notion that it's never over or that the killer is still out there. Like I've said before, in this age where franchise sequels are being eschewed in favor of remakes, I'll take any sequels where I can get them. I never thought for a million years we'd get another proper Lost Boys movie, and the thought of a third one makes me even happier. Bring that shit on.

[El Rooto]

While I didn't think this movie was great, I think for a DTV sequel it wasn't that bad. Especially when you compare it to utterly terrible shit like The Hidden II or such.

[Jigsaw]

Don't remind me of The Hidden II :X

I haven't see The Tribe, but I dropped by my Wal-Mart earlier and they were loaded with copies, and I mean loaded. I might give it a rent sometime. I still have to get the original film.

[skuppy]

I finally watched the Tribe tonight and I liked it quite a bit. Sure it wasn't as good as the original, but I never expected it to be. But as a DTV sequel, I really enjoyed it. I'll probably end up buying it sometime. My only complaint is that they should have used one of the alternate endings as I really thought those were better. But the ending that was present in the movie is fine. I give Tribe 7/10.

[SlasherFreak]

This wasnt a masterpiece, but I think some of the reviews are too harsh.

First off, it's pretty arrogant for you to say someone is not a "big fan" of the original film if they don't like The Tribe. Just because a person may not share the same opinion as you doesn't not mean they're any less of a fan.

I didn't think Feldman was bad, I just thought there were times when he over did the Frog voice a little. Yes, he talked the same way in the first film, but it did not sound as forced. I also felt they portrayed Edgar is a way that didn't work. Edgar (and Allan) was never meant to be "legit" badass vampire hunters. The charm and appeal of those characters are that they think they're hardcore but in reality they're not. That's what made them work.

In The Tribe you could argue that he's a lot more experienced and has become a true bad ass over time, but in reality there is nothing about Corey Feldman that gives off that vibe. There was no point in The Tribe where I thought to myself “this guy could really kick some ass”. That's why the makers of the first LB chose him for the part. They knew it'd by funny to watch someone like him act like he thinks he's tough.

As for Angus, I wasn't too hyped upon my first viewing, but once you get used to his voice you actually don't mind his performance one bit. He never displayed poor acting skills whatsoever and neither did anyone else in the movie, sans the Aunt maybe. The Lost Boys 2's vampires are meant to be hated more than making someone actually want to join them. They are the villains much more straightforward whereas in the original they were the outcasts who did what they wanted because they wanted to and had that allure. These are outcasts selling their soul to get away from their pasts and getting a new start. It's more primal and dark (a display of the times)... is that not what everyone wants nowadays? I sure as fuck know people won't shut their mouths about F13/NOES dark appeal. Although the plot is similar to the first, the tone is completely different and the dynamic of brother/sister rather than brother/brother gives it a whole new taste as well.



I judge a sequel on how good the first film was. With Friday the 13th, you know you're not getting anything great. It'll be fun, mindless entertainment. The Lost Boys on the other hand, while it is a popcorn film was a higher quality of film than say Friday the 13th. It had an excellent cast and a talented director. It wasn't anything groundbreaking, but there wasn't a bad actor in the bunch. The film had an atmosphere that sucked you in. The dialogue was often witty and quotable. It had a nice balance of being a horror flick with some comedic elements and nice surprises. The Lost Boys also didn't take itself completely serious, which of one of the major drawbacks of The Tribe.

I understood that the vamps in The Tribe are supposed to be hated, but to me they didn't stand out. Like I've said in my other posts, Marco, Dwayne and Paul may have been in the background for most of LB, but they had a presence about them. Also the vamps in LB seemed more like a pack/tribe than the vamps in The Tribe did. With the way David did most of the talking while the others stood back and smirked. Or with the way they would stand in group shots: David in the center, standing slightly ahead of everyone else with the other vampires spread out behind him.



For those saying the editing sucked and the direction absolutely sucked, please give me an example. I saw no such thing. This sequel gave fans more than they could reasonably expect in this day and age. Feldman is back, the characters of Nicole and Chris are linked to Sam, it's a sequel rather than a remake, they even brought the addled Haim back who no one is giving a chance, Newlander was back in a way. And if (seemingly now, when) the third comes it's going to be a direct link. We basically got what we wanted and still no one is happy.


I'd have to go back and watch the film again to point out parts, but there were scenes where one shot was crystal clear and the next shot had a grainy quality. In the first film, the scenes flowed from one to the next; it all felt like a natural progression. The Tribe just seemed very choppy. Again, I'd have to watch it a second time to point out direct examples. And the soundtrack was standard surfer music, and makes The Tribe's low budget that much more obvious; unlike the music in The Lost Boys which was memorable, helped to capture the moment and accentuate the overall tone of the film.

IMO, saying Chris and Nicole are linked to Sam is a weak point. So they have the same last name. That means nothing; it could have just been a small nod to the previous movie. I'm sure that there's more than one family with the last name of Emerson out in the world. Other than that, The Tribe gives us not reason to believe they are relatives of Lucy, Michael and Sam.

And The Tribe in no way gave fans more than they deserve. Not when we've had Rocky Balboa, Rambo and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull give us very worthy sequels (some more than others). It asked questions, but didn't bother to delve any deeper. None of the characters had any depth to them and there really wasn't a point where I cared about any of them. For example, giving some insight on how Allan or Sam were turned into a vampire or explaining that Chris and Nicole were related to Sam and Michael would have given the characters some much needed profundity.

The Tribe in my perspective is a cheap, generic vampire film that hired Kiefer's younger brother and both Coreys because they knew they could get them (and slap Lost Boys on to the title).

First off, it's pretty arrogant for you to say someone is not a "big fan" of the original film if they don't like The Tribe. Just because a person may not share the same opinion as you doesn't not mean they're any less of a fan.

From things I've read, people seem to not have paid attention to the original when commenting in their reviews (as you can see, I pointed out that it extends from just this forum). Calling the plot shitty would be one example, a certain reviewer comments that it's stupid that all the vampires die the same and he used that as a negative on the movie. Those were the rules since the original. Then there's who complained that every line Edgar Frog spoke was taken from the original, just because he repeats a couple lines that are supposed to be taken in the context that the words are his spiel every time he hunts vampires. Dissing Feldman's performance when he does the exact same thing is just icing on the cake of confusion. I've seen reviewers say they didn't think Tad Hilgenbrinck was tough enough to take on vampires. Because the kids in the original had a much better chance?!

I didn't think Feldman was bad, I just thought there were times when he over did the Frog voice a little. Yes, he talked the same way in the first film, but it did not sound as forced. I also felt they portrayed Edgar is a way that didn't work. Edgar (and Allan) was never meant to be "legit" badass vampire hunters. The charm and appeal of those characters are that they think they're hardcore but in reality they're not. That's what made them work.

In The Tribe you could argue that he's a lot more experienced and has become a true bad ass over time, but in reality there is nothing about Corey Feldman that gives off that vibe. There was no point in The Tribe where I thought to myself “this guy could really kick some ass”. That's why the makers of the first LB chose him for the part. They knew it'd by funny to watch someone like him act like he thinks he's tough.

In the original I like to think of Edgar and Alan to be a couple of bullshitters who got caught up in something they weren't expecting. Over time Edgar truly became badass and it's cool because in the movie they make it clear that his allure had crossed over into vampire clans because the second he asks, "Who ordered the stake?!", the vampires high tail it right out of there. I think it's awesome that they elevated his character to a ballsy level while still maintaining his childhood qualities from the first. He's like 35, did you want him to display the traits of a 13 year old? If a group of vampires are afraid of Edgar, a mere human, I would say he's pretty badass.

I judge a sequel on how good the first film was. With Friday the 13th, you know you're not getting anything great. It'll be fun, mindless entertainment. The Lost Boys on the other hand, while it is a popcorn film was a higher quality of film than say Friday the 13th. It had an excellent cast and a talented director. It wasn't anything groundbreaking, but there wasn't a bad actor in the bunch. The film had an atmosphere that sucked you in. The dialogue was often witty and quotable. It had a nice balance of being a horror flick with some comedic elements and nice surprises. The Lost Boys also didn't take itself completely serious, which of one of the major drawbacks of The Tribe.

So you go into a movie trying to disappoint yourself? You punish a movie because it's not as good as the original. People punish The Tribe for rehashing the old plot, but not giving credit to the change we did get. The Tribe never took itself completely seriously. First and foremost, Edgar Frog (and everything he says), then the ending on the couch, the vegetarian comment, the titty scenes, the head booting, the vampires cutting themselves, etc... At the core, it was just a darker film than the first and I think that's just a sign of the times. And again, no one around here ever seemed to complain about a dark film. Do you really think anyone's going to recapture the original's feeling 21 years later in a different time? Why worry about comparing it to the first?


I'd have to go back and watch the film again to point out parts, but there were scenes where one shot was crystal clear and the next shot had a grainy quality.

The soundtrack was actually very good and was actually the wrong music for the piece, but I'm not gonna complain. The vampires in the movie would be much more likely to like crappy modern rock, but a lot of the soundtrack harks back to the 70s and 80s rock. Imagine how surprised I was to hear the lyrically Motley Crue, musically AC/DC inspired 'Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast' at the beginning of the movie. No bodies hitting the floor?! Finally! There were other examples of this, like the Eagles of Death Metal song. The original's music was awesome, but I have a hard time considering badasses David and the boys blasting Lou Gramm synth driven tracks on their speakers during the motorcycle scene. 'Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast?' Yeah, they'd rock that. And lest we forget, the original wasn't a big budget affair. Not that I think the effects are especially hindered in The Tribe. This is Warner DTV, not Full Moon.

IMO, saying Chris and Nicole are linked to Sam is a weak point. So they have the same last name. That means nothing; it could have just been a small nod to the previous movie. I'm sure that there's more than one family with the last name of Emerson out in the world. Other than that, The Tribe gives us not reason to believe they are relatives of Lucy, Michael and Sam.

According to the official site, they are. It's a loose point, but we're fanboys, right?

And The Tribe in no way gave fans more than they deserve. Not when we've had Rocky Balboa, Rambo and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull give us very worthy sequels (some more than others). It asked questions, but didn't bother to delve any deeper. None of the characters had any depth to them and there really wasn't a point where I cared about any of them.

I know, because Lost Boys: The Tribe should logicially have to go up against movies with 24 million, 50 million, 185 million dollar budgets with huge name actors attached and series' that will be forever etched in nearly everyone who likes movies across the world. We're not going to get that in the horror genre. The insight on Alan and Sam comes in the third movie, I presume. And I don't think saying "Chris and Nicole are Sam's cousins" would have given the characters any more light than I got from them. They hired the Coreys and Newlander because they were parts of the original. Yes, unlike Rocky Balboa, which Sly most likely used as a career re-invention for regained popularity, Rambo the same, and Harrison Ford with Steven Spielberg behind the camera, Coreys and Newlander is what The Lost Boys legacy has left us. As adults, the other stories were much more closed than that of the kids. And, I think that's portrayed nicely in the alternate endings. Michael had his struggle... but what happened to the boys when they reached their 16-18 years when things get a little more complicated? That's what we're getting into now. The easiest way to familiarize everyone with the old story was to work it into a new story and then, if all seems to go well, hopefully go full tilt in the third. I don't think the execution was perfect, but all the bullshit spoken of this movie is off the wall. I want to watch what the people that hate Lost Boys II are watching, because production and entertainment-wise it tromps a lot of stuff in my collection. And, I still don't know how the movie looks cheap.

Yes, and when the genre eventually winds down and turns into a graveyard like it did in the nineties, very few should complain when we there is no horror to speak of whatsoever. People are quick to forget that horror moves in cycles and when the remake cycle wears down, who knows what will happen? I know it took from Scream's big break in '96 until about '02 for horror to recover properly and it's been coasting along nicely all things considered since. I'm not saying

1993 may be the worst horror year ever.
