The Lost Boys has risen from the dead, like all good vampires.

After The CW passed on Rob Thomas’ pilot rebooting the show, Warner Bros. has decided to revamp (ha) the project as a movie, and some cast announcements were made today.

Screenwriter Randy McKinnon and Jonathan Entwistle will direct and Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place) will star alongside Jaeden Martell (It). Automatik’s Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Fred Berger are producing. Zac Frognowski and Josh Glick are Executive Producing.

McKinnon is currently making the DC film Static Shock and Entwistle is behind the streaming shows, I Am Not Okay With This and The End of the F***ing World.

Joel Schumacher directed the original movie, released in 1987, which was billed as a comedy-horror, and follows two brothers (Corey Haim and Corey Feldman), who after moving to a new town, discover that it’s overrun by vampires. It grossed over $32M at the domestic box office.

The movie featured a hot young cast that included Jami Gertz, Kieer Sutherland and Alex Winter, as well as its rockin’ soundtrack with bands like INXS, Echo and the Bunnymen, Roger Daltrey and Lou Gramm. In the 2000s, Warner put out a pair of direct-to-DVD movies – Lost Boys: The Tribe and Lost Boys: The Thirst.

The new movie is said to be an update from the new wave 80s look of the original, which featured Sutherland as a spike-haired, bleach-blonde vampire who tried to recruit the two Corey’s to the dark side.

Though it didn’t work out, the series was a longtime passion project for Thomas and the CW. The pilot was already in production when the pandemic shut down all filming in March of 2020. The CW got to see some footage, but opted to move ahead with the Kung-Fu reboot instead.
