I’m def digging the official title treatment above for Lost Boys: The Tribe (the 2 is now gone) that STYD just got their hands on. It’s not some cheesy ’00s update like I feared. Even cooler is that the world premiere of the trailer to the seminal ’80s vampire flick will appear tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. on MTV.com; and it will be introduced by none other than Edgar Frog aka Corey Feldman! Here’s what Feldman had to enthusiastically say on his official blog The Feldman Journal…
The trailer will be available to own for yourself when it is released on 5 million copies of the Wil Smith film I am Legend, which ships nation wide next Tuesday. But for now, it will premier presented by myself, on MTV.com Wednesday March 12th (tomorrow for those without a calendar) at 8 A.M. Eastern Standard time.
Accompanying the trailer will be a new interview , I did just last week talking more in depth about the film. As MTV was such a huge part of the success of the original film it is only fitting that they would be on the front lines of the sequels release.”
It’s pretty rare when MTV gets behind a direct-to-DVD sequel, so you have to wonder if a theatrical release could still happen, as the flick’s scheduled for release on DVD this July. Again, Warner Bros. this sequel would make considerable bank in a summer theatrical release, so go for it. What’s to lose? As you might expect, Feldman is still fighting the battle…
“By the way if you do like it spread the word as nothing will ensure a theatrical release like a positive response to the trailer.
Obviously………there’s a lot at STAKE!!!!”
With The Lost Boys being one of my all time favorite films, keep an eye on Slashfilm manana for a review of the trailer, a review of Corey Haim’s ridiculous garb (if applicable) et al. Here’s hoping for the absolute best.
Discuss: How excited are you for the trailer? What’s the best vampire sequel of all time?

The level of hype and press attention this is getting is baffling. This is a Corey Feldman vehicle for chrissake! Corey Feldman! The first film is just 80’s cheese that people only like for nostalgic purposes. If you weren’t a child of the eighties, odds are you don’t care for it.

Hey gah. I was 13 when I saw it and 15 now. I loved it and have been following all the info on this film. Don’t say that my generation won’t get it. We can get anything

The fact that this is teetering between theatrical release and DTV isn’t a big enough clue to you guys? Oh my God! They got Corey Haim to reprise his role! It’s nice to know that the producers could convince these childstar washups to phone in a role inbetween coke binges.

OMG! I just found out that Corey is doing a Q&A this weekend! I knew he was going to Monster Mania but never knew he was doing a Q&A! I will totally record all of it and hopefully someone asks the questions.

I hope that was a sarcastic “OMG!” otherwise your giddy schoolgirl delight over a Corey Feldman Q&A is just sad.

Here comes a terrible pun. I’m a sucker for vampire flicks, so I’m actually quite stoked for a fun sequel (and the fact that the Coreys are getting some work).
My picks for best vampire sequels are:
Fright Night Part 2
Daywatch

good to see this movie back out i loved the first one. would have been a lot bigger and better if they gave kiefer sutherland a comeback in it as he was great in the 1st film.
