A reboot of teen vampire classic 'The Lost Boys' is on the way

Nothing is sacred, and that could explain why Warner Bros has plans to resurrect the 1987 teen vampire classic The Lost Boys.

Originally directed by Joel Schumacher, who passed away aged 80 last year, the horror-comedy is set to be reimagined with starring roles for Honey Boy’s Noah Jupe, and Jaeden Martell (of It and Knives Out).

Beyond the fact that it’s directed by filmmaker John Entwistle (The End of the F***ing World), with a script by Randy McKinnon, details about the reboot are fairly scarce.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, however, its setting — a fictional California beach town in the midst of being terrorized by a vampiric biker gang — is being updated for the modern day.

There will be blood: Protagonist Kiefer Sutherland and fellow vampires observe their next prey in Joel Schumacher's 1987 cult classic, The Lost Boys.

While details about the reboot are scarce, John Entwistle is set to direct - with young horror stars Noah Jupe and Jaeden Martell in the roles played by Corey Feldman and the late Corey Haim.

I'm worried Andy, The Maniacal Cinephile, is running out of material.
