Lost Boys’ 1980s vampire movie gets modern remake

Sharpen those stakes and fill your tubs with garlic. The lost boys come back. Noah Jupe, one of the stars of A quiet place, and Jaeden Martell, star of This and Knives Out, were selected to star in a modern remake of the 1987 hit vampire starring Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Patric, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman.

Hollywood journalist announced the news of the film, which is written by Randy McKinnon and directed by Jonathan Entwistle. McKinnon is currently working on the DC movie Static shock while Entwistle is known for its streaming shows, I don’t agree with that and The end of the fucking world. It is also attached to a Power rangers remake.

There is no news on what, specifically, this version of The lost boys will do differently from the original, except that it will play out in modern times. That alone will change a lot considering the 1987 original is very, very 1987. In it, a single mother (Dianne Wiest) moves her teenage sons Sam (Corey Haim) and Michael (Jason Patric) into the fictional Santa Carla, California, aka “Murder Capital of the World.” The town got this nickname largely for the group of vampires who made it their home, led by the stylish David (Kiefer Sutherland). David and his team attempt to recruit Sam and Michael, who then fight with the help of characters played by Corey Feldman, Jami Gertz, and others.

In previous years, Warner Bros. To tried to adapt the story for the small screen and even shot down two pilots with Véronique Mars‘Rob Thomas. Alas, neither worked and The lost boys The TV show never saw the light of day. It’s a fate this movie might still see, but with the recognizable Skirt and Martell up front, and we can only guess at a growing cast of cool people behind them, this classic vampire flick could easily resurrect from among them. the dead. As long as there are free sax solos, of course.
