Along with the Lost Boys 2 ("The Tribe") trailer premiere and the announcement that Corey Haim would be appearing, Corey Feldman sat down for an interview with MTV – in which he talks trilogy. 

“The stage is set,” he said of the ending to “The Tribe.” “So it’s really up to you, the viewer, and you, the audience, to see that final chapter comes into fruition.”

“What I would like to see? Personally the way I would like to see it go, I would like to see Edgar finally become a vampire himself and have to battle his own inner demons,” Feldman fantasized. “That’s where it should go in my mind.”

“I think that part of the magic for the whole trilogy would be seeing those characters that you trust, that you love, turning to the dark side and figuring out if they could make their way back,” he mused. “For the guy who’s out there defending truth, justice, and the American way to be confronted with his own demons, and actually have to go down the path of the dark side – will he make it out? Or has he gone down so far that once he’s turned, there’s no hope, light? Who can save him? I mean, once Edgar Frog’s turned, anything’s possible.”

Further evidence that the younger you start and the longer you spend in Hollywood, the more of a totally unself-aware retard you become. Keep in mind, this is the movie he’s talking about.  Not to mention that he had less than 10 minutes of total screen time in the first movie.  His idea for a trilogy is basically like saying they should make a Pulp Fiction sequel in which The Gimp confronts his demons and learns to love again.  Hey, maybe Eliot Spitzer could star in it!  Wakka wakka *fart noise*

The trailer for Lost Boys 2: The Tribe hit the web today (high quality version here), and besides the fact that there’s not even a mention of Greasy Sax Dude, the quality of the franchise seems to have mimicked Corey Feldman’s career trajectory.

Though it’s called "The Tribe", it doesn’t seem to be about Jews at all.  Hollywood’s continuing anti-semitism is truly sickening.  I’m calling for a boycott.  What’s that?  It’s going straight to DVD?  Oh.  In that case… proceed.

Greasy sax man here can mean only one thing: it’s Lost Boys-related news time! Life and Style Magazine has the first photo from the set of Lost Boys 2: The Tribe (Jewish vampires, maybe?) with Corey Feldman and Shaun Sipos.

The sequel is set in the shady surf city of Luna Bay, California, where vampires quickly dispatch anyone who crosses their path. Into this dark world arrive Chris Emerson and his younger sister, Nicole. Having just lost their parents in a car accident, the siblings move in with their eccentric Aunt Jillian and become new prey for the locals’ way of life. When Nicole unwittingly falls for a local vampire, Chris must locate and destroy the gang’s lifeline before his sister’s transformation is complete; to do this Chris finds himself relying on the expertise of none other than Edgar Frog (Corey Feldman). Subtle references to characters from the original film, and cameos from returning actors offer homage to the Lost Boys legend and set a sinister tone of impending doom. [MovieWeb]

In case you were wondering, that’s pretty much the same plot as the first one, except this one won’t have Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Patric, Dianne Wiest, or the other dude from Bill and Ted.  But hey, Corey Feldman, right?  He really gleams my cube. 

Following statements by Corey Feldman that an animated sequel to Goonies was in the works, Sean Astin recently told MTV that Goonies 2 is “an absolute certainty”.

Feldman and Astin both say their favorite possible plot is that the movie involve the children of the Goonies from the original.  Personally, I think it’d be fun if Sean Astin and Josh Brolin’s kid kidnapped Corey Feldman’s to show him what it’s like to live in a real house with electricity and food and everything.

Astin: “Steven [Spielberg] and Dick [Donner] and all the powers that be … they really feel like the thing that made the movie strong was that it was about kids, so they really want to make the next movie about kids…the next generation of Goonies. And they’ve had a hard time tackling that.”

Well yeah, with these damned kids today, what the heck you gonna make the movie about, robot servants and tentacle porn?  Pogs?  Bottom line, ten bucks says this somehow involves Nick Cannon.

As far as Lost Boys 2 is concerned, all month it's been Corey Haim's in, Corey Haim's out, Corey Haim's in.  Obviously it doesn't matter, because without greasy sax dude they hardly have a movie.  

Regardless, after Haim apparently got high off his ass on painkillers and ripped (I guess?) Feldman in the above video, Feldman released the following statement to MTV:

 

“I feel that I need to address some of the statements that have been made in reference to Corey Haim’s and my friendship and his participation in ‘Lost Boys 2 – The Tribe.’ I have always considered Corey Haim a brother and dear friend and have always been there for him. Although I am deeply saddened that he has decided not to participate in ‘Lost Boys 2,’ it was strictly his decision. For the record, I was not willing to go forward with any production or deal until I was assured that Corey Haim was onboard. I received confirmation from my representation that Haim had announced that he was officially attached to ‘Lost Boys 2.’

“After starting production in Vancouver, I learned that Haim had chosen to pull out of the project. The reasons for his decisions are his and his alone. Although I am saddened by Haim’s departure, I am enjoying working on the film and am very excited about working with my Frog Brother Jamison Newlander and to carry the torch forward. I am very proud to be part of this highly anticipated sequel for Warner Bros. and feel confident that we are making a film that the fans will welcome as a complimentary addition to the franchise.”
