My oh my!
Of all the un-necessary sequels Hollywood is churning out - we have been treated to a sequel to one of my favourite 80’s flicks as a young ‘un, Richard Donner’s ‘The Lost Boys‘.
Having re-watched it recently on DVD, I will admit that the first film hasn’t exactly aged the best. I bought the special edition of the DVD mainly to see exactly what “The Two Coreys” were up to nowadays. It turns out not much.. who’d have guessed?
Anyways, a sequel over 20 years in the making (not really.. looks like it was written, directed and shot in a weekend): The Lost Boys 2: The Tribe. Oooooh.. doesn’t that title just instill you with nothing but confidence. And it may suprise you to find out it’s a straight-to-DVD release - shocking, I know!
And what’s more even suprising is the fact that they got back 3 of the stars of the original? Sam and The Frog Brothers (or Corey Haim, Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander respectively). OK, so Hollywood clearly isn’t beating down their doors for work but were they THIS desperate?
Trailer is below and I’ll be perfectly honest, I didn’t even finish watching it. It’s pretty damn horrific but hey, different strokes for different folks. It’ll be released in the Summer but the real question is, will anyone even notice?
