Corey Haim Cut From ‘Lost Boys’ Sequel?

Published

on

One of the most anticipated DVD releases in a long time is Warner Premiere’s Lost Boys: The Tribe, which arrives at retailers on July 29th. We just finished watching the film, which was directed by P.J Pesce (who also makes a cameo in the film), and made a pretty interesting discovery regarding Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. For the news, read on, but we aware that this contains a major spoiler.

MAJOR SPOILER ALERT

To read the story, highlight the text below:

In LOST BOYS: THE TRIBE, Corey Feldman was set to make his triumphant return to the franchise as Edgar Frog, while Corey Haim would return as Sam Emerson. While Feldman makes appearances throughout the entire pic, Haim was nowhere to be seen. When the final credits roll out, the last name listed is Corey Haim – then the screen goes black. This is when you finally get a glimpse at Emerson and we get a clip of him going head-to-head with Frog. The end sets up a sequel, but also confirms what was shown on “The Two Coreys”. It appears that Haim’s character was cut from most of the film, which is a damn shame – although maybe it’s not considering how terrible it was. Watch for a review soon.

This sequel takes us to the shady surf city of Luna Bay, California, where vampires quickly dispatch anyone who crosses their path. Into this dark world arrive Chris Emerson (Hilgenbrink) and his younger sister, Nicole (Reeser). Having just lost their parents in a car accident, the siblings move in with their eccentric Aunt Jillian and become new prey for the locals’ way of life. When Nicole unwittingly falls for a local vampire, Chris must locate and destroy the gang’s lifeline before his sister’s transformation is complete; to do this Chris finds himself relying on the expertise of none other than Edgar Frog (Feldman).
