It looks like The Lost Boys will have a sequel…that will be direct to DVD. We get the glorious news from the moviehole:
The longed-for (some may say superfluous) sequel to “The Lost Boys” (1987) is prepping in Vancouver, Canada and Moviehole was informed today that P.J Pesce, a filmmaker familiar with the vampire terrain having tackled Dimension’s “From Dusk Till Dawn 3”, is attached to direct.
Meanwhile, Shock Till You Drop reports that Hans Rodionoff is the film’s writer.
The sequel, titled “The Lost Boys: The Tribe” and expected to be released on DVD next year via Warner, will shoot thru June 11 to July 13.
I commented recently about the onslaught of direct to DVD sequels that are slotted for release. The original Lost Boys was a cool flick, and does not need a sequel. It does not look like any of the original cast members will be back, we will see how much of the mythos is taken from the original film if it has anything to do with it al all.
Who knows these direct to DVD films may have a so bad it’s good quality about them. We will have to wait and see, it may be a blast to get a group of people together and have an unneeded direct to DVD sequel marathon.
