News reaches us of the most exciting movie sequel since The Next Karate Kid – that’s right folks, the teen vampire schlock fest that was The Lost Boys is getting the part deux treatment, albeit mostly likely in a straight-to-DVD format.
Joel Schumacher’s 1987 classic (of a kind), a sleepover favourite for young goths in the making, found a single-parent family moving to Smalltown, southern California, and encountering a bunch of Asbo-baiting blood-suckers led by future Jack Bauer Keifer Sutherland.
While Jason Patric, the older brother-turned-toothy-night-owl, is unlikely to reprise his role, Corey Haim is set to return to as vamp-slaying younger sibling Sam Emerson. ShockTillYouDrop.com has learned that in addition to Haim’s signing, fellow Corey and former Goonie, Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander are back as the iconic lily-livered, comic book-quoting Frog Brothers.
Tentatively subtitled The Tribe, the new flick is thought to centre around a band of plasma-bothering surfer dudes laying waste to a seaside town – think Point Break with added claret.
It’s being directed by From Dusk Till Dawn 3’s P.J. Pesce, with shooting expected to start in the next few weeks in Vancouver.
Saving the best, and most hilarious, news till last, replacing Kiefer as the big bad of the piece is his younger half-brother Angus. We've not seen him in anything, but an IMDb search did reveal that there are two other siblings named Roeg and Rossif Sutherland. Which is amazing.
