Lost Boys 2 Movie Trailer #2

Posted on Thursday, March 13th, 2008 by Peter Sciretta

Lost Boys: The Tribe

Okay, I understand that most of you, including Hunter, are not happy with the movie trailer for The Lost Boys direct-to-dvd sequel, Lost Boys: The Tribe. But I think that everyone’s expectations were just so unreasonable high. Many people forget that this project began as nothing more than a direct-to-dvd movie without any returning stars. I also think that many fans are blinded by the nostalgia of the original film. I love the original Lost Boys, but I have had the perspective to step back and look at it for what it was. Lost Boys is not a masterpiece. Some moments are downright cheesy. Heck, it’s a Joel Schumacher film (yeah, the same guy who made Batman and Robin). So yes, with The Tribe, the special effects are bad, and the acting is a little worse, but it’s better than nothing at all in my mind.

Today, Warner Bros has released a second, longer, movie trailer for The Lost Boys II: The Tribe. Watch it and as always, tell me your thoughts in the comments below (this time I’m sure I’m going to get blasted).

 

Discuss: Is anyone still interested in Lost Boys 2: The Tribe?

    like everyone else, i have a very special place in my heart for the first one. i think this looks pretty terrible, but like you said, it's not like the original is citizen kane so i don't particularly care. i also don't get the 'you've ruined the first one!' indignation - how did they ruin the first one? it's still the same movie, isn't it? do the four psycho sequels wreck psycho? no. no, they do not.
  • Chrispy
    I dont think it looks that bad
  • GregoryV
    honestly, i dont know why we are wasted by this lost boys: the tribe news.
  • Paolo
    Direct to DVD... Suitable.
  • bob
    I think people here were expecting too much out of it, like it was the second coming of Christ or something. Come on guys, it's a direct to DVD sequel of a 20 year old movie, watch it for what it is.

    "Who ordered the stake?" Best... line... ever.
  • Graham
    that who ordered the steak line sold me

    I like the music, it had the song longer on the first trailer. Sounds like a re-worked Zug Island song. I'm excited and will probably see it in the theater.

    I never was, and am still not a fan of the original. I watched it again recently hoping that I might have a different take on the film, all these years on. Alas it wasn't to be, and although it's enjoyable it's real 80's trash. If that same film were released today, it'd get slated. Hang on... That's what's happening here, right?

    Lost Boys 2 was never going to be amazing, but it actually doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. And I'll definitely give it a go when it comes out.

    And I didn't take Hunters opinion as gospel anyway, because he pretty much misses the point on most things it seems.

    I don't particulary like both trailers, but as you said lack of the original cast returning however whoever edited both trailers should have given corey feldman more time so to bring back some nostalgia of the lost boys. If he weren't in it , this would be some b vampire flick with the title slapped on. However the film turns out corey feldman will be the saving grace, if it great its because of him, if its crap well he made it a bit watchable
  • whiskey jim
    What i can say is am gonna give this one a chance. I've watched the first one too many times over the past month and well,I've been psyched on this one. The trailer am not gonna base anything off that .Anyone known who sangs the new version of little sister in the other trailer?
  • jkelly86
    "but seriously, we're vampires"...pffff. But seriously, this made my eyes bleed.
  • FilmBuff101
    You have got to be kidding me. Another waste of film...
  • Jan
    Wow. It's ... indescribable.

    ...Somehow it reminds me of the direct to video movie "bloody pom poms", a movie about a cheerleading camp out in the middle of nowhere. It's blood, fart jokes, tits and chearleaders. The movie is so bad it's hilarious to watch.

    Fun trivia: In Sweden the movie "Bloody pom poms" was never sold under that name. No, they didn't translate the title to Swedish, they just gave it a different name; "Bloody Scream". That was after "Scream" had been launched, so I guess it sold a couple of copies on name recognition only. I would never have bought it myself I hadn't seen the original title stowed away in fine print on the bottom edge of the box.

    This was just random ramblings generated by 41 hours of sleep depravation.

    Peter said it best "better than nothing" Woulda been sweet with a few more cameos.
  • Sauce
    Suck Monkey...Chuckle.
  • rob
    Why is Hansel from Zoolander in this?
  • MIKEuncc
    I think it would be alot better if they let corey feldman just play every part.
  • Ralli
    Looks like the equivalent of every other vampire movie, why complain.
  • Dan
    Perfect for Direct to DVD. I feel sorry for Feldman though. He should have known how bad this was going to be and never did the movie. Corey Haim isn't even in the movie and he's a mess. Shouldn't that have been a sign for Feldman?
  • Graham
    they kind of look like the vampires from 30 days of night
  • look at me
    Haha its not like Felman has a choice. I can't imagine he could get much of anything else. But at least he isnt selling his teeth on Ebay like Haim.
  • look at me
    Oh and imdb has Corey Haim listed as being in the movie....so maybe he makes a cameo. Still gonna be a shite movie.
  • Ghost
    Is it just me or did I hear a BOWSER sound effect growl/roar in there?!
  • @Graham

    Are you kidding me? They look nothing like the Vampires from 30 Days of Nights. Clearly these are just horrible, B-rate vampires that deserve to be stuck on the reruns of Buffy and Angel. The vampires depicted in 30 Days of Nights on the other hand, were bad asses. All of them.
  • Sausage
    Man, they couldn't come up with a better song than the one from Need for speed: Most Wanted =/ Hell I'd watch... I've seen worse. It's has to be better then the current wave of dance flicks =(
  • "So yes, with The Tribe, the special effects are bad, and the acting is a little worse, but it’s better than nothing at all in my mind."

    You're right; this trailer is better than nothing that is in my mind, either.
  • Gabe
    As long as Hollywood's around, there will always be a home for B-movies like this one (and C, D, E...)
  • Sarah
    I will buy it before I would ever rent it. To me the first Lost Boys is a cult classic. Lost Boys II will sit on the shelf right next to the first one.
    Of course put Feldman in! He IS a Frog brother. Haim? Whether he is in it or not makes no difference. The Frog brothers family were permanent residents in the town. With the role Haim played, well his mother brought them to the town to get back on their feet right? (And of course I will feel the fool if it is in a different town)!!

    i think what's most disappointing is that it looks like its just the same story with differnt players, rather than an actual continuation - or next chapter as the VO states. they really could've taken this up a notch, storywise, and created a cool little nitch for the lost boys in vampire lore. oh well, another one bites the...neck? (coudn't resist)
  • Wow.

    I am officially sick to my stomach.
  • The answer, alas, is no.

    This has been another segment of simple answers to simple questions.
  • Liz
    The question really is, was anyone EVER interested? Hollywood may not have run out of original ideas, but pulling out something like this sure screams "we couldn't think of anything cool, so here's a long-lost sequel you might possibly want to see." Nobody seems to be able to explain why they made it, or why they think anyone will care.
  • Captain Awesome
    This is some Buffy shit.
  • Alright Alright
    I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

    First off - the original Lost Boys is an awesome cheesy B vampire movie that is awesome for its 80 nostalgic feel and it has vampires.

    and lets face it - - Vampires are fucking awesome

    If you disagree fuck you

    2nd - After watching the first trailer, my initial thoughts were that it looked bad but I didn't maybe want to bother. But then Corey Feldman came on screen and I was suddenly more interested.
    Then the 2nd trailer, I can't believe that anyone is insulting this. How could you think they could make a better sequel to The Lost Boys other than making COREY FUCKING FELDMAN a B-movie Vampire Hunting Bruce Plisken Hero?!?! and the part in the 2nd trailer when the guy says "SERIOUSLY WE'RE VAMPIRES" and turned his face was straight out of Buffy. I for one will be enjoying watching this. It will be no masterpiece but it will put a smile on my face.

    Peace Out
  • haha that guy posted before I finished

    Whedonrepresent?
  • i'd rather watch the original again and enjoy it!
  • A.J.
    This looks like a pile of dog shit.
  • I wish Huey & the News did the theme song for this instead of Pineapple Express.
  • Ron
    Sorry, but I can't agree with the "it’s better than nothing at all". I'd rather have one and only one if all they're going to do is turn in a half-arsed "re-quel". From the trailer it becomes pretty apparent that they're copying the original with a bunch of Z-grade actors and throw in the "mature"... Frog brothers and, I would guess, a brief appearance by Haim just to thrill the old LB-fans.

    I'll watch it, just to satisfy my curiosity, but I'm fairly certain it is going to suck (pardon the pun) ;-)
  • cat
    ok, it's going to be cheesy, corny, and probably more than a little lame. But as a direct to video flick, it will likely still entertain to some extent. I like Feldman but that's because of the nostalgia factor that will always have a special place in my heart, hey I grew up when the Coreys ruled the teen days...I'm keeping expectations low and just going to give it a chance.
  • Meli
    "Who ordered the stake?" Ahahahahahahaha
    This movie is going to be SO bad that it migh
    be good. I'm still going to sit down with my
    brother, have a few drinks and enjoy the horror.
  • A.J.
    Perhaps after drinking a six pack this might pass as hilarious.
  • zachy Legend
    Look. The soundtrack from the original was so fucking 80's great that this movie will suck on that basis alone. Did I see no Allan Frog? Or Sam? Cry Little Sister was by Sisters of mercy, and god have mercy.....This is in the same vein as the sequels to Dusk til Dawn...or Alladin....
  • pat
    the change in tone of the comments without Hunter's excessively negative borderline crying mini-review is hilarious lol And quite frankly, if Hunter has ever claimed to like the first Lost Boys movie then he's a huge hypocrite
  • jane
    check out www.lostboysplea.com to help put The Tribe on the big screen!!
  • Trebek
    The first will always have a soft spot in my heart...But this movie will not. I won't watch that poop.
  • Jenn
    The Lost Boys is my favorit movie of all times, this movie looks like crap. You just ruined the first one. The person speaking about the music in the first movie is right, the music was best in the soundtrack for the first lost boys! I will not be seeing this movie
  • Angelathemoviebuff
    I am so with Dan on this one, I have a place in my heart for the first Lost Boys movie, it's a classic vampire movie!!! I remember the first time I watched it, I was mesmarized by it, and will never forget it. I think no matter what people say I think it's going to be a good movie, and a great sequel to the first. And I am really excited to add it to my collection.
  • steen
