The Lost Boys is one of those perfect movies. Sure it’s a little dated and somewhat campy at times, but both of those elements are what makes up a great deal of the movie’s charm. So, needless to say, a sequel worries us greatly. Especially since this is a direct to DVD sequel.
Anyone watching their reality show knows that Corey Feldman was asked to put in a cameo appearance for The Lost Boys 2: The Tribe, which was a particular point of breakdown for Corey Haim, who wasn’t invited back. Haimster and Feldog are a package deal, however, so Feldman put his foot down and refused the role unless Haim could come too. Now Moviehole is reporting both Coreys will be in the sequel, along with the other Frog brother, Jamison Newlander. No doubt this is only a cameo appearance, and since Haim’s role has been tacked on it’ll be interesting to see if he even gets to say anything. Still, this actually makes the sequel a little more interesting to me. At least there’s some tie to the original movie.
Other cast details I hadn’t heard about: the movie will star Stifler’s cousin, Tad Hilgenbrinck (American Pie: Band Camp) and the “OC”’s Taylor, Autumn Reeser. Speaking of family members, original big-bad, Kiefer Sutherland won’t be returning for the sequel, but his half-brother Angus Sutherland will be playing the primary vampire.
