Lost Boys was a great film and that nostalgia got us an updated sequel, which stood fine on its own but wasn’t quite worthy of the Lost Boys title, and now the Frog Brothers are back with Lost Boys 3: The Thirst out on Bluray and DVD on October 12th, Corey Feldman is talking about the plans they have should the release be a success.
Live for Films quotes Feldman:
“If [The Thirst] performs as it seems it’s going to, we’re open to not only another sequel, but we’re talking three more films, a second trilogy. We’ve plotted out three more films that could bring back more original characters. We’re also talking a television series.”
It also looks as if they are going on tour with a theatrical Lost Boys show.
“What we’re going to do is have a live theatrical experience with Live Nation and the House of Blues. It will give fans the opportunity to come to the House of Blues and see the original Lost Boys in a theatrical setting. They’ll also get a sneak peek of the new film and they can come in costume – there will be a costume contest – my band Truth Movement is going to perform.”
A theatrical road show? And have you heard Corey Feldman’s band? Hardly a draw.
Now if The Thirst is at least decent and they plot a trio of films that work, I would be interested in a Lost Boys trilogy or even a TV show, but TV is already littered with offshoot vampire shows, and the film market is also cluttered with Vampires.
This can only last so long and it may be too late for the vampire fad by the time they do any of this. Seems Feldman is riding this nostalgia to put himself back in the public eye.
Hopefully this all works out for the sake of The Lost Boys franchise.
Actually it would be great if they made three more new trilogy’s for the lost boys just as they did with “vampire diaries”, True blood, and Anne rice novels. And underworld. They just really need to be more detailed about the history of the vampires and where do they really come from. Who started the vampire race. And if there are other supernatural beings in the world of the lost boys not just vampires. With the old characters coming back. They should make a new trilogy they have my support i love vampires and the more there is the better it is. And may i say Peter the alpha vampire from the third has/had Potential. They could put him in the trilogy explaining how he himself became a vampire. So Yes they should really make a new trilogy explaining everything.
So many people are jaded now… I mean seriously all 3 of The Lost Boy movies were great. The only trilogy that is actually good without the original cast. I hope there is a fourth as well, good job Feldman keep them coming :).
i’m a fan of the lostboyz and i enjoyed all the movie i really they comw out with part 4
I will be boycotting the movie..sequels to such movies as The Lost Boys are never up to par especially without the majority of the main actors who made the original what it was and is. On top of that the loss of original Lost Boy Corey Haim who right before his demise found this was being created and he was not asked to be present in the movie was totally crushed. Now Feldman etc. have the gull to say it is dedicated in his memory..please such disrespect to an amazing talent.
Hahaha, it seems Corey is making a career out of this one movie. The original Lost Boys was a decent flick but these last two should never have been made they lack in two fields story line and very sub par acting. Corey all the power to you dude if you can keep convincing them to make these movies for you so you can continue to live a charmed lifestyle who am I to complain. All I can say is fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me, needless to say I won’t be watching anymore Lostboy flicks in the future.
And Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. Can’t forget young Tommy Jarvis, first of the slasher movie Final Boys.
Feldman has done SOME good work, but he is not a good actor. I can’t imagine this film will be respected at all. This is a lot of the same hype the tribe got and it stunk. It wasn’t the worst movie ever or anything, but it did stink. If I had to choose to be in one corey camp, it would be the Haim camp. Aside from his personal problems, he had genuine heart. I’d like to remember feldman in stand by me and goonies and forget most of the rest.
