Earlier this year a sequel to the 1987 cult classic "The Lost Boys" was announced as part of Warner Bros. Direct to DVD feature films. It was unknown if any of the original cast members would return. That was until now.

According to Shock till you drop, Corey Feldman, Corey Haim and Jamison Newlander are all returning for the sequel, entitled Lost Boys 2: The Tribe. In the original film Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander played the Frog Brothers and Corey Haim played Sam Emerson.

On their realty show "The Two Corey's" both Corey Feldman and Corey Haim expressed they would not be returning for the sequel but it seems things have changed. Haim was not asked back at all and Feldman was asked back for a cameo only but originally refused in respect of his friend. Both will be in the film.

Also joining the cast is Tad Hilgenbrink (American Pie: Band Camp), Autumn Reeser (The O.C.), FX legend Tom Savini (From Dusk Till Dawn) and Angus Sutherland, Half brother of Keifer Sutherland who played the lead vampire David in the original film.

Savini had this to say on his part in the film "I'm a surfer who runs into the vampires at the beginning of the film, in a sequence that is shot very Sergio Leone-style [à la the extreme close-up prologue of the director's classic 'Once upon Time in the West".

Also according to Savini is the film will no longer go Direct to DVD and instead go to theaters'

The original film was released in 1987 and was about a group of young Californians fighting off a vicious gang of vampires. The film was directed by Joel Schumacher and Written by Jeffrey Boam, Janice Fischer and James Jeremias. The film was a box office at it's time for an R-rated picture and earned $32 million. The film is a cult favorite with horror fans and is considered one of the best vampire films along with Fright Night and Near Dark.

Joel Schumacher made several attempts in the 90's to get a sequel going with the title "The Lost Girls" but it never officially saw the light of the day. Schumacher will not be returning as director.
