Shocktillyoudrop caught up with Corey Feldman at some pre-oscar party and got to ask him a couple of questions about Lost Boys 2 and the possible future of the films:

Shocktillyoudrop.com: Why do you think it took so long to make the sequel?
Corey Feldman: They needed to make sure I got to the right age before the script was made because I wouldn't have been able to do it younger. No, not at all. It was very political. Joel Schumacher and Richard Donner are the original creators who were supposed to be involved and then the timeline expired. There were a lot of scripts that went through the works and nothing was approved. I don't know if Warner Bros. really saw it as something that needed to have a sequel. Interestingly enough, after the 20 year mark passed and it kinda earned cult status WB went, "Oh there's a good one. Let's make some more money off of that."

Shock: Did you think all along there should have been another "Lost Boys"?
Feldman: There are very few movies I've done where I feel that a sequel would be appropriate. "Lost Boys" was certainly one of them, but it had to be done the right way. I was very nervous about getting into this one thinking that it could be done wrong or that it could end up badly. Fortunately, I think it's gone a good direction. I'm very proud of it. I haven't seen the final product, but I know the work - I felt okay with it. Hopefully people will enjoy it. There's some great young actors. Angus Sutherland is amazing. It's good. It's a nice mix of new fresh faces and young blood and some of the old folks.

Shock: What was it about this script that you thought was right?
Feldman: I think that the tonality is on track. It's got a sense of humor, the light-hearted tongue-in-cheek [feel] that the "Lost Boys" did so well, but also much scarier, much darker, much more gorier. I would say it's the same movie, but on steroids for 2008.

Shock: Where does the sequel pick up the story from?
Feldman: It takes place 20 years later as in real time and there's going to be a comic book series from DC Comics that is going to give you the back story of everything that happened to our characters between the first one and the current one. They're also talking about a third. This could be a trilogy in the making.

As usual, I'll simply say I'm excited.  What more can be said on my part.  I've said everything.  I think both myself and Ernest are both hoping it still has the same charm as the first one did.  Until we see it in theaters or DVD all we can do is hope...
