Corey Haim Back in LOST BOYS 2

For reasons left unsaid, the character of Sam Emerson (Corey Haim) is coming back for Lost Boys 2, reports Shock Til You Drop. Initially, his character was said to be returning in the sequel but was ultimately cut out of the script. Now, director P.J. Pesce is back behind the camera to shoot the new scenes between Sam and the Frog brothers (Corey Feldman & Jamison Newlander). The new shoots will not affect the summer DVD release plans for Warner Bros.

Combining previous reports, we have a Sutherland back in the villain role, the Frog brothers back, Sam back and rumors that the buffed-up "Beach Concert Star" (Timmy Cappello) is back. Now, if we get a transformation/sex montage with a choir singing "Thou shalt not fall" and a character saying "My own brother, a goddamn, shit-sucking vampire. You wait 'till mom finds out, buddy!", the transportation back to 1987 will be complete.

Plot Summary: The sequel is set in the shady surf city of Luna Bay, California, where vampires quickly dispatch anyone who crosses their path. Into this dark world arrive Chris Emerson and his younger sister, Nicole. 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 (Corey 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.

"summer DVD release" ok so its cool that they're getting the original cast (most... er... some...err.. extended cameos... errrrr.... noooo "just cameos"...)
so let me get this straight, they initially didnt use Cory Haim in the movie that sounded like it already wrapped... then the director P.J. Pesce (err...WHO!? From Dusk till Dawn III: the Hangmans daughter????? some episodes of Profiler???) desides to go back and film some newly added scenes with Cory Haim, Feldman and Newlander and add them into the (finished?) Lost Boys 2? ehhh??? What???
ok so why isn't Joel Schulmacher making a cameo as the DIRECTOR for the newly added scenes? Hmmmm??? (actually that would be histerical) and where oh where is our "Bill" Alex Winter, and why isnt HE making a cameo??? (maybe because his character is DEAD?) and who is ANGUS Sutherland anyway??? Hmmm???
Dear God... this is shaping up to be a massive DVD trainwreck... I'll have to replace my player after I rent this turkey! LOL!

But are his original teeth?

LOL Cory Haim is back! LOL I never ever thought in my wildest dreams I would ever see Cory Haim leading a headline again that didn't include the words "suicide" or "drug overdose"

That sounds cruel I know and I don't wish the man dead but come on, this was made into an article for what reason?

Has anyone not named Corey actually been looking forward to Lost Boys 2 all these years?

mckracken • Feb 09, 2008, 09:15am •
i was looking forward to it from 1987 to about 1990 or '91 but around 2002 were rumors of "Lost Girls" the supposed sequel of all girl vampire clan which had nothing to do with the original.

YES!! I knew I was right! Crying WILL always get you what you want. Ha Ha, Mom and Dad!

I would like nothing more than for this to be decent, but...well, I have some doubts, lol.

Anyone see the apology/begging for work ad that he put in the paper (Variety I believe)?

I watched some of The Two Coreys (by accident) and he is just not living in the real world.

Nothing for Nothing, I didn't know anyone who grew up in the 80's that didn't love the Coreys. If you are around the age of 30, you know what I mean. In retrospect, it is really funny, but the Cories were the balls back in the day. Lost Boys, Lisensce To Drive, Dream A Little Dream,,,,,everybody loved those movies in 8th grade. And of course later Blown Away with Nicole Egert....HOT......It is a shame they couldn't keep their shit together,,,,,well, I am very curious about this movie.

woo hoo the lost boys are in lost boys 2.

SONYMANswallows • Feb 10, 2008, 12:12pm •
The original was good but I dont get the huge hype it has. It seems like this one is trying to use the corey factor as a selling point. And was Jami Gertz even considered? She is funny and smokin in Still Standing. Plus its still going straight to DVD, so I doubt this will come close to Rocky Balboa or RAMBO. in quality.

Dazzler • Feb 11, 2008, 04:38am •
This sequel should have been made years ago to DVD. I hope it's worth the wait. I hope for another good soundtrack but that's asking why too much.
