One of the big surprises at this past Friday's Chiller Eyegore Awards in Hollywood, CA was the surprise appearance by both Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander, who will both return side-by-side as the Frog brothers in Warner Premiere's Lost Boys: The Thirst, the third film in the revitalized vampire franchise. While on the red carpet before the opening of this year's incredible Halloween Horror Nights at the Universal Studios in Hollywood, we caught up with both Feldman and Newlander who chatted about the forthcoming direct-to-disc sequel that begins filming next month in South Africa.
In LOST BOYS: THE THIRST, when veteran vampire hunter Edgar Frog (Feldman) finds himself destitute and almost friendless, he thinks his live has hit bottom - but wealthy vampire-romance novelist Gwen Liebling offers him a small fortune to go on the vampire hunt of a lifetime and rescue her son Peter from the Alpha Vampire D.J.Dusk. With the help of his friends Zoe, Lars and Blake, Edgar heads into a bloody battle to exterminate evil.
“They’re the ones with all of the inside information,” Feldman jokes when introduced to Bloody Disgusting. We kick of the brief conversation by asking Feldman, who is standing next to returning Frog brother Jamison Newlander, if he’ll have any creative control now that he’s executive producing.
“Let’s no get carries way,” Feldman laughs, “My influence will definitely be there, I don’t want to take more credit than I should because at the end of the day it’s a creative process and there are many people that work together as a team that work together to try and make the best product possible. But, what I’ve been doing is really been listening to what the fans want,” he adds, “I’ve had my fingers on the pulse of it if you will. Number one, more than anything, what they want to see is this guy (points to Jamison Newlander) back in action.”
“In talking to the fans, I see fans from around the country, but they wanna see the Frog brothers,” Newlander says with a huge smile. “I’m excited to be back!”
“It’s the return of the Frog brothers officially, we can say that, and I can tell you that we are definitely amping up everything including the storyline,” Feldman continues talking about really giving the third film some juice. “That’s a very important piece of it. Last time, people liked the second film, but they didn’t LOVE it. For us what’s really important is that the fans get everything they want out of this situation. We want there to be more scares certainly - we may have missed the mark on the scare-o-meter last time around - more comedy, because I kinda wasn’t funny, and basically the music is there…Truth Movement is lending some music this time around, which is really exciting for me, hopefully the fans will enjoy that too. I think that it’ll be more riveting, with more vampires, more blood, more hot chicks, more scares and more Jamison Newlander for Gods sake!”
Shooting is slated to begin November in South Africa.
.... Did he said people LIKED the second one?... the only part that i like was the deleted scene epilogue, you know, the one that wasn't part of the movie and that actually had a very interesting premise?
Wow, Bloody Disgusting. Do you actually go back and re-read your stuff before you post it, or are you happy with your incomprehensible grammatically incorrect ramblings? I know being a journalist for a movie website isn't exactly a real job, but if you're looking for an editor to show you how to write competently, I'm looking to leave my current job and am looking for a position with as little responsibilities as possible. Hit me up. As an added bonus, I'll teach your staff how to spell.
I'm excited for this even if no one else is. The Tribe was no masterpiece, but it was fun and gory and people need to get over the fact that a sequel, especially this late in the game, NEVER will compare to the original.
Hey, FROGGER - just an FYI: should be "with as few responsibilities" or "with as little responsibility". Considering the intent of your post, thought you'd like to know.
Now go get 'em, Tiger!
I agree who the hell thought there was anything remotly good about the second lost boys? That movie was awful and Feldman in the first yes as a kid was trying to be rambo, but he's like almost forty by the second I would think he would have grown up and uses his big boy voice. It was just to forced to hear him talk with that rambo accent when he;s that old. I like the idea of following the frog bothers in their own deal, but hear is the problem it needs to be done well( cant stress that enough) a real director not some hack and real comedy to it not some shit that is like the actor winking at the camera.
"Truth Movement is lending some music this time around, which is really exciting for me, hopefully the fans will enjoy that too"
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! His band is fucking awful.
Lost Boys: the Tribe was horrible. I'll never watch the straight to video sequel.
