Joel Schumacher's 1987 vampire classic The Lost Boys (watch it HERE) does already have two sequels, Lost Boys: The Tribe and Lost Boys: The Thirst, but neither one of those were exceptionally well-received, and certainly didn't seem to be the sequels fans of the original film were waiting for. That's why we've chosen The Lost Boys as the focus of the new episode of our Show Me the Sequel video series. In the video embedded above, we have crafted our own pitch for The Lost Boys 2 that we feel would be better than The Tribe and The Thirst. Check it out and see if you agree!
The Show Me the Sequel series is about
genre films that either never got sequels and we feel it's long overdue, fine movies that did get sequels but they were so lackluster that going back to square one is a must, or… flicks that DO have sequels but hey, we want freaking MORE of them! On top of that, we put our pitch for what said sequel should be about!
Show Me the Sequel is written and narrated by Pat Q, Edited by Edward Clark, Produced by John Fallon, and Berge Garabedian is the Executive Producer.
Scripted by Janice Fischer, James Jeremias, and Jeffrey Boam, the original The Lost Boys had the following synopsis:
Teenage brothers Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim) move with their mother (Dianne Wiest) to a small town in northern California. While the younger Sam meets a pair of kindred spirits in geeky comic-book nerds Edward (Corey Feldman) and Alan (Jamison Newlander), the angst-ridden Michael soon falls for Star (Jami Gertz) — who turns out to be in thrall to David (Kiefer Sutherland), leader of a local gang of vampires. Sam and his new friends must save Michael and Star from the undead.
