According to The Hollywood News.com, Warner Bros is making The Lost Boys 2, here’s what the article said:
Internet fansite IESB.net have learned that a sequel to the classic 1980′s movie THE LOST BOYS is in development.
The sequel to the original, which revolved around a gang of motorcycle riding vampires, is thought to be going straight to DVD as part of Warner Brothers plans to make a series of low budget DTV sequels from their extensive film library.
The original film, released in 1987, starred Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman, Dianne Wiest, Edward Herrmann, Alex Winter, Barnard Hughes. It was directed by Joel Schumacher.
The Lost Boys 2 will start shooting in the first part of 2007 in San Diego, CA.
Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad idea?
4 AIM buddy icons added to the Media section, updated both my news and gallery scripts.
POSSIBLE FORUM? I’ve had a few people ask me if I’m going to put up a forum for Jami fans, and I’m pondering doing just that but I don’t know if there would be enough interest to warrent a full community. If you’d like to see a forum on this site and think you’d be a regular, please comment or email me. If there’s enough interest, the forum will be up by the end of the month.
Jami’s cult hit Solarbabies is FINALLY being released on DVD with one of the most awful, wonderful films of all time, Night of the Comet, according to Cinematical:
Between the approximate years of 1982 and 1987, I “worked” at a movie theater called the AMC Leo Mall Twin. I put the word “work” in quotations because, hey, I was between the ages of 10 and 15, and I didn’t so much “work” at the theater (and the Video Village across the street) as I did A) hang out, B) do odd jobs, and C) see tons of free movies. It was pretty much heaven.
Two of the goofiest sci-fi memories that I have of those years come from a pair of films that have since faded into semi-obscurity over the past 2 decades. One has become an underground cult (kinda-)classic and the other … has a bunch of futuristic kids on roller skates and a glowing magic ball of yellow light.
Yes, cheese fans, it’s time for not only Night of the Comet to debut on DVD, but freakin’ Solarbabies too! Solarbabies! I know! Hilarious!
For those who might be a bit too young to understand why I’m so geeked about these movies, here’s some of the facts: 1984′s Night of the Comet (written and directed by Thom Eberhardt) is about two high school girls who awaken one day to find the apocalypse in full swing. Empty streets, roving maniacs, evil governments, it’s all there. And since the last time I saw Night of the Comet was on opening night (11/16/84), I’m pretty darn psyched to give the thing a second spin.
Now … Solarbabies, on the other hand, is a totally different story. Get this: It’s post-doomsday (again), and our heroes are a bunch of odd-speaking teenagers who skate everywhere they go. Said kids are played by the likes of Jason Patric, Jami Gertz, James LeGros, Lukas Haas, Adrian Pasdar and Peter DeLuise, with Richard Jordan as the villain and Charles Durning as “The Warden.” Anyway, the kids (with the help of a magical super-special glowball) skate for futuristic freedom! Even as a kid it was painfully obvious to me how outrageously silly Solarbabies was. And of course, I can’t wait to see it again.
Both flicks will hit DVD on March 6, courtesy of those wonderful folks at MGM.
A new layout’s coming now that I’ve got a bit more time. Please excuse the lack of updates this week, I’m working my butt off to help a friend with her Anne Hathaway site while trying to get a Mandy Moore site off the ground. New updates coming soon, please bare with me!
