“Man-Thing No. 2, got it.”
Some of you are no doubt slumming it in the gutter of your manse’s bowling alley this weekend nursing a fifth of vodka and eternal questions, but right now the Monkees’ “Now I’m a Believer” is ringing in my ears like percussive cheese because: Corey Haim is filming his scenes for The Lost Boys 2! He’s in it to win it. Break out the peach trench coat and bring back the Giant Bedroom Swatch Watch! The photo above is happening again, and right now some dude is getting the image tattooed across his shoulders as a M.U.S.C.L.E. Man squeals on the sax on the beach. What happened to : The Tribe, you ask? It’s dead to me. The well-lit ’70s-era marquee in my head is a trend setter.
STYD reports that Haim has returned to his best character, Sam Emerson, and is now filming scenes for the film that were originally in the script. Director P.J. Pesce is filming the additional scenes, and co-star Corey Feldman is said to be involved, which means that the duo’s ongoing tension is not botching the reunion. Can you imagine a film where both Coreys appear but don’t share a scene like Bruce Willis and Uma Thurman? The world knows no such lows.
Corey Feldman dropped some foreshadowing, ruby-colored chum in the deep waters on his meta-blog, The Feldman Journal, a few days ago saying…
“I did my ADR for the film a couple of days ago and it looks really good all cut together. Rumor is circulating that we may be doing some additional photography for the film, assuming pick ups or scenes from the script that we didn’t initially get around to. Which to me is a very good sign, because the studio usually doesn’t bother if they don’t really likea film. So it seems your positive energy is working. I also got a chance to see some of the treatments for the comic book series and I can promise you it will help fill the gaps between films in a very cool way…..you will not be disappointed!!”
He additionally implied that The Lost Boys 2 is headed theatrical…
“I want to say that I have been shocked and overwhelmed with the movement that you all have created on behalf of LB2 going theatrical….it’s amazing how dedicated you guy’s are to the cause. Apparently there are several on-line petitions going on created by you the fans and they are really gathering momentum. I would like to thank each and every one of you who has taken the initiative to do this. It has been so overwhelming that last week we received phone calls from the studio asking if I was behind this.”
He went on to not mention Slash Film’s (Hunter’s) deep undercover involvement in this campaign. I’m giving it all I can, Captain. And filming for the second season of The Two Coreys is ongoing, which, in my opinion, is an amusing, genuine, and amazing marketing stunt for The Lost Boys 2, but don’t quote me in Blog Court.
Why does this film matter? Let me say this: After watching Rambo (10/10) and a few days later watching There Will Be Blood (10/10, um, I’m trying to review it) incredibly stoned, I want theatrical Nirvana in my lifetime. I want to sit on clouds and bask in colorful ’80s pulp dug up from amazingly confident dirt and given neon injections + I want to shiver in the glory of only-in-’07/’08 There Will Be Blood life-slap bug-outs. During my first visit to the DMV, I remember the smells, the instructors, the videos. I remember looking at my friend who passed when I didn’t (due to “negative attitude”), and I remember thinking W.W.C.H.D. I am able to drive an Audi because of Corey Haim. I want to watch him smile again with his mouth half-agape, eyebrows raised and the sound of a “Ahh, Ahh, aHah.” That sound/(emotion?) got me many a hot girl when I was too young. Warner Bros. better release this in theaters. That is nearly a threat.

Maybe with a job they can end that stupid Two Coreys embarassment
February 8th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!
HOW DID I MISS THIS!!!
WOOT!
And Hunter: +1 for the amazing M.U.S.C.L.E. Men reference.

This the best news I’ve read all week.
I don’t want to live in a world where the Civilian Wardrobe doesn’t warrant a theatrical release.
February 9th, 2008 at 4:06 am
I’ve seen the first film and all but why are people going insane for this one? I mean, it wasn’t a revolutionary film of any type. I don’t understand.
February 9th, 2008 at 9:38 am
I don’t have much faith in the quality of the film, but I hope that it’s at least tolerable.
February 9th, 2008 at 11:03 am
when the fuck is this going to come out?
i thought it had been done filming for like a year
February 9th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
it comes out this summer either on dvd or theatrical
prob in theaters
eric you don’t understand. lost boys is one of the best movies of all time
February 11th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
So the big news here is that two crappy actors are back together for yet another derivative vampire movie.
Gee — woohoo.
February 13th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Ive been waiting a long long time for this to happen. Really hope they are genuinely back together to film this one. The film is a classic and the two Coreys represent a time that was extremely fun and exiting and a bit innocent, which, in this day and age of craziness, i dont hold much hope of seeing again which is a shame. Was lucky enough to meet both of them at the Milton Keynes comic convention in 06.
Shame Michael Hutchence isnt still around to do a 2008 rendition of the INX’s/Jimmy Barnes ‘Good Times,’ or ‘Laying Down the Law.’
Still, lets get the muscle man Tim Cappello back for one last blast of ‘ I Still Believe. ‘
We still believe…
February 15th, 2008 at 1:35 am
@ Adam L
Cappello is back in the film, so believe.

Lost Boys is my favorite movie of all time! There are so many great quotes from the original. I have always loved “the two Coreys” and am so excited that they will both be in the sequel. Hope it’s as memorable as the first. Can’t wait to see it!
March 15th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
I am so totally happy that this is happening I love the Cory’s so much!!!!!
May 4th, 2008 at 8:17 am

May 4th, 2008 at 8:22 am

IS THERE GOIN TO BE A THIRD LOST BOYS, JUST WANT TO KNOW, CANT BELIEVE THERE WAS GOIN TO BE A SECOND , AND THERE IS SECOND. AND I THINK IT LOOKS GOOD. ITS FUNNY.
June 22nd, 2008 at 8:14 pm

June 22nd, 2008 at 9:43 pm
Can we title this “Get lost Boys”?
June 29th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
i think that all people should get a second chance and i cant wait to see the film i hope that both coreys are in it the movie would not be the same if just one of them were in it. hey corey haim if you read this just want you to know that i think you are a awsome dude and you can do anything if you put your heart into it good luck on all things in the future.
your fan ben
June 30th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
OMG!! i have been watching the two corey’s this season and i just want to say Corey haim even with your issues,You are HOT!!! and I would so Do you!!!!! I love them BAD BOYS!
June 30th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
I have watched all the Haim feldmen movies….feldmen then you were great,now you are just in love with yourself and selfish. Haim has went through bad times and if you were his freind you should have helped him through not talk about the man behind his back.
June 30th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
I’m sure this will be great. As all there movies have been.
I think this is just the kind of thing Haim needs, something to boost his self confidence and keep him on the str8 and narrow. They’ve both had it hard growing up but I think Haim has had a lot of bad bounces, while Feldman seems to keep on truckn’.
“Fel-dog” can be a big help to Haim if he didn’t worry so much about the +/- impact on his own career. . . Never leave a fallen man behind.
I’ll be glad to see both in action
June 30th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
I am very excited to see them both together trying to get there careers and relationship back together. I wish them luck and success.
July 1st, 2008 at 12:47 pm
To tell you the truth I’m very excited that Haim has a part in the new movie, I am however disappointed that his part isn’t bigger. I mean he was basically the star of the first movie and in this one he just makes an appearance, he deserves more then that. It really makes me want to see this movie even less.
July 2nd, 2008 at 12:28 pm
I have grown up watching both Haim and Fieldman with The Lost Boys and License to Drive being two of my favorites of Haim and The Goonies being my favorite of Fieldman. I am looking forward to seeing an adult acting career for both Coreys. They are both exceptional actors and can only get better with age and experience. I look forward to seeing the movie Lost Boys II and more to come! Best of luck to both!!!!!!! I only hope there are more supporters for our favorite youth actors to make a comeback on the big screen in this day and time!!!!!!
July 2nd, 2008 at 9:57 pm
I remember when Haim was selling teeth on ebay to pay for his drug habits… I almost lost all hope he gets back on track. Thank god i never gave up i really do think the worst is behind him.
July 12th, 2008 at 9:09 am
Thank GOD BOTH Corey’s are in the film. Love ya Feldman, Haim you rock! You are following your dream regardless of the the haters! Way to go! The biggest risk is the one not taken! What the hell are wrong with these people, why the hell would they not put the movie in theaters first? People will buy the Dvd later. C’mon people, give us what we want!
July 13th, 2008 at 12:05 am
I’ve been waiting for this moment this would be great for the two Corey’s special Haim he really needs this and despite of his past we have all done good and bad in our lives but this takes allot of guts to for him to come this far and to show the world he does want to change! GO COREY HAIM!!! I support you dude!! I saw oyu and Feldman at San Diego Comic-con 2005! you should of stayed longer!
July 13th, 2008 at 9:46 pm
Corey Heim….just watched the episode of “The Two Corey’s” of yoru first day on set…..what a disappointment huh?!?!? Well, I can’t say I know how you’re feeling, but what I can say is that we are pulling for you. We all want to see you make a come back, but sober! Stop lying to yourself and others…..if you know you have a drug problem….DON”T take ANYTHING!!! Even if it takes the edge off…..you’ll have to find another outlet of some sort! Find a group, a sponsor, anything! If you find yourself wanting to use…..talk to someone and get someone to help you through those times! We can’t wait to see this movie come out with you doing fantastically in it! Keep pluggin’ at it….and by all means DO NOT give up! Wishing you strength, truth, and honesty!!!
July 16th, 2008 at 11:59 am
All I have to say is that every person has had some sort of down side in their life and I believe more than anything that Corey Haim will come back stronger than ever. I am so stoked about the show & being able to see him on TV again. If anyone knows how to be able to send messages directly to him please let me know!!!! I have tried to search all kinds of sites hoping to find a message board that he checks or that his assistant checks. So please help….Thanks Heather B.
July 16th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Heaven! I’m in heaven! Teehee! I am looking soooo forward to see Corey Haim shine on screen! I feel a deep heart felt joy for Corey! Congrats!!! I don’t feel like he ever went away, it’s like an old friend that moves out of state and you miss them like crazy, and then they move back in town and it’s like they never left! We just catch up, talk about old times and make new cool memories!
Corey Haim is the coolest, most fun and exciting, handsome, sexy man with a sweet passionate heart that I have never had the wonderful experience of meeting!
July 17th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Well i seen this at a friends i was shocked haim did not do nothing the entire movie. Not counting the credits.. What a shame i guess him messing up on The Two Coreys really was the real thing. I hope they do a prequel to this movie. I wont ruin it but man what a teaser!
July 17th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Haim to the Membrain!
