If everybody would stop going to sequels and prequels,etc,etc-the studios would be forced to seek out original screenplays.

It's our own damn fault:D

I don't mind a sequel that at least attempts to match the quality of the original film, and comes along in a reasonable amount of time. But that is certainly not what is happening here. I mean, really who pays for this kind of crap? I mean, I MIGHT watch something like this is it happened to be on SciFi late one night and I was bored. I am certainly not going to be paying for the DVDs. I just don't see too many people getting excited about a direct to dvd sequel to Lost Boys twenty years after the original film was released. But maybe that is just me.....:p

Today, word trickles in from the casting dept., that ‘The Lost Boys’ themselves have been cast.

Joining Angus Sutherland’s pack of surfing bloodsuckers will be Kyle Cassie (“Devour”), Shaun Sipos (“The Grudge 2”) and Merwin Mondesir (“Godsend”). They’ll be the ones keen to turn young siblings in trouble, Tad Hilgenbrink and Autumn Reeser, into creatures of the night.

Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander are reprising their roles from the first film – and yes, despite reports that Corey Haim is having some working visa issues, he’s still very much a part of the film. The producers are going to work him into the film somehow… because, he is an “integral” part of the film. So yes, he'll still be in it.

Feldman tells MTV that he’s super excited about “The Lost Boys 2 : The Tribe” because the script is super and he has a pivotal role.

"Warner Bros. has further developed the script — they brought on a great writer [Hans Rodionoff, who] came up with a great story line," Feldman said, a Cheshire grin stretching across his face. "And in that script they have included [me], Corey Haim and Jamison Newlander as featured parts in the film. [In] the script, as it is today, I am one of the leads. My involvement is very close to what my involvement was in the first one. So I'm pretty much scattered throughout.”

Feldman says the script is similar to that of the first film.

"Once again, you have a fish-out-of-water story of two young folks who move into a new town to visit their relatives and find themselves caught up with a bunch of bloodsuckers," Feldman discussed of the flick's setup. "I really like the script because of the fact that it is very close and very true to the structure of the original film — same kind of scares, same kind of laughs, same kind of relationships."

In the film, Feldman’s reprising his role as vampire-killing character Edgar Frog – who he says hasn’t changed a bit since the 1987 original, only his circumstances have.

"[Edgar] was always an outcast, but [here] his close-knit family have drifted apart. They've had a major problem, and because of that problem, Edgar today is working alone," he continued. "[The film is] about him trying to still carry the torch as it were, without the aid and assistance of his partners. That leaves him in an even lonelier and even more delicate place than he was in the first film being the outsider that he already was."

Noooooooooooooo... Why can't they just leave the originals alone? It's like 20 years too late. At the time everyone who liked Lost Boys ( myself included) would've loved the idea of a sequel. Now? no way, if it is going to be straight to DVD and of course you wouldn't see hardly any of the original actors in it, then why do it? Why can't people just let the originals stand as they are, great films for the time? I wouldn't even want to see a remake of the original. It just sounds like another way to make some quick money pitching an old classic movies storyline at a new fresh audience (i.e the new generation).:(

I cringe at the very tought of this movie, I really do *cringes*
You could have the best film making team on the planet working on this movie and they would still make a balls of it. Some movies just don't need sequels, especailly not rediculos, cheap- ass ones that get released straight to DVD two decades after the fucking original!
*cringes some more*

I really enjoyed the first Lost Boys movie do we really need a part 2. I'll try to keep in open mind, I mean its not like every single sequel has been bad.

BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Corey Feldman returns to familiar turf in the Warner Premiere event, “Lost Boys 2: The Tribe,” the direct-to-DVD sequel to the 1987 cult hit “The Lost Boys” that also features his fellow Frog Brother, Jamison Newlander, along with Tad Hilgenbrink, Autumn Reeser and Angus Sutherland. The announcement was made today by Diane Nelson, President, Warner Premiere.

Principal photography began in late August on location in Vancouver, under the direction of P.J. Pesce.

Synopsis :- This 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 (Hilgenbrink) and his younger sister, Nicole (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 (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.

“Last year when Warner Premiere was established, we knew we wanted to engage with fans of The LOST BOYS and have this title on our slate because the original is a favorite film of so many people,” said Nelson. “With Hans Rodionoff’s strong script, and PJ onboard to direct, we were able to realize this project quickly, casting up-and-coming talent like Autumn, Tad and Angus, as well as key players from the original with Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander returning as the infamous Frog Brothers. We have tremendous respect for Joel Schumacher’s original film and are striving to maintain the tone and integrity of the original, while offering something fresh to old and new fans alike.”

Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander are set to reprise their original roles of Edgar and Alan Frog, respectively, in the vampire-centric sequel. Feldman shot to fame in the mid 1980’s starring in a number of successful films like “The Goonies,” “Stand By Me,” “License To Drive,” and two chapters of the “Friday the 13th” series. Following the success of “The Lost Boys,” Feldman also had a successful run with several television and music projects. Currently, Feldman is headlining a reality series on A&E called “The Two Coreys.”

“I am truly excited to be on board for this sequel,” says Feldman. “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.”

Jamison Newlander is back as Alan Frog, the other half of the vampire-slaying Frog brothers, in the sequel. Newlander most recently wrote, directed, starred in and produced a comedy short called “The Rooster.”

Autumn Reeser stars as Nicole, a teenager who moves to Northern California and finds herself entangled with a gang of vampires. Reeser most recently starred on Fox’s hit teen drama “The O.C.” Her additional television credits include “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “Cold Case,” “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “Grounded for Life” and “George Lopez.” Reeser also appeared in “The Girl Next Door,” opposite Elisha Cuthbert and Emilie Hirsch.

Tad Hilgenbrink portrays Nicole’s brother, Chris, who – along with his sister – falls in with the dangerous gang of vampires. Hilgenbrink is best known for his role as Matt Stifler in “American Pie Presents: Band Camp.” He will next be seen in the horror film “30 Days of Night.”

Angus Sutherland, half-brother of “Lost Boys” star Kiefer Sutherland, stars as the leader of the gang of surfing vampires, echoing Kiefer’s ‘David’ from the original film. Sutherland appeared on the CBS political drama “Commander in Chief” and will next be seen in “Familiar Strangers,” due out later this year.

Screenwriter Hans Rodionoff is no stranger to the vampire genre, as writer and director of 1998’s “Sucker: The Vampire.” Other credits include co-writing TV’s “Saint Sinner,” based on a story by Clive Barker, and shared writing credits with director Mort Nathan on “National Lampoon’s Bag Boy,” slated for release in 2007.

P.J. Pesce is an independent filmmaker who has earned several accolades for his work through the festival circuit. In 1994, Pesce was named Best Independent Director of the Year at the Hamptons International Film Festival for his critically acclaimed film “The Desperate Trail,” which he wrote and directed. He also received a Special Grand Jury Award for his short film “The Afterlife of Grandpa” at the Houston International Film Festival in 1989. Pesce is the recipient of Grey Advertising’s Student Filmmaker Award and a Presidential Fellowship from Columbia University’s School of the Arts.

Basil Iwanyk and Phil Goldfine are producing the film, with Mary Viola, Alison Semenza and Rick Benattar serving as executive producers.

“Lost Boys 2: The Tribe” is a Warner Premiere production, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and distributed by Warner Home Entertainment.

According to 'd'BELLE', actress Moneca Delain (“Trick R Treat”) has joined the cast of the WB’s “Lost Boys 2 : The Tribe”.

In addition, we also received the official press release confirmation that...there’s no Corey Haim anymore.
