Not content with throwing our devoted Lost Boys fans a fancy new trailer for the third film in saga of Edgar Frog, there’s a bunch of production pictures that have surfaced which, well – they show off exactly what market the Lost Boys team are going for.

You can expect fangs and bikins along with a thrust of nostalgia in the form of Corey Feldman, and though I would have loved to see the rumoured Sam Vs Edgar face off the sad death of Corey Haim means Corey F is on his own for this one.

The guys over at JoBlo have scored the batch of images from the set and you can see them below. The last time we posted a Lost Boys 3 post we got an unexpected amount of positive feedback so there are clearly a lot of people eager for this one.

I know. You’re all in a state of Hitchcockian suspense waiting for the next word on the third film in The Lost Boys series, and (thanks to the good guys at MovieWeb) Edgar Frog himself, Corey Feldman, has updated his personal site with the following.

Wait until you see LB3! Then you will know the depths that my art has mirrored my personal strife and how they resurface as one. In LB3 Edgar Frog emerges as a lone soldier fighting all of the evils of the world with a massive chip on his shoulder and all of the odds against him.

2009 was apparently a tough year for Corey F, but like a true pro he has made the best of it and channeled it into his work.

I embraced this character with body and soul and brought a human side to the Frog character that no one would ever see coming. I am proud of the work I have done and I believe you will be too.

There will be a future update on this film on his blog, and despite the slap of diminishing returns hurting the Lost Boys franchise it is good to see an old friend from the 80s still working and taking himself seriously.

While I can’t get too excited about The Thirst and its vampire author/Stephanie Meyer plotline there is some part of my brain that will enjoy watching Corey Feldman going apeshit crazy on a bunch of vamps.

It’ll do until we see the inevitable Corey Vs. Corey fang off in Lost Boys 4.

It’s an obvious headline, and all the coverage we give this movie is due to the love we have for the original Lost Boys.

As you may know Lost Boys 2: The Tribe didn’t set the world on fire, but that hasn’t stopped two sequels being forced at gunpoint into production, and now the leading lady for LB number 3 has been revealed.

Shock Till You Drop have the scoop on the casting of the Twilight-esque Vampire Author whose son is kidnapped by a Fang Gang and calls on our favourite Frog brother into battle. She is Tanit Phoenix, an actor/model whose imdb profile looks a touch sparse but that’s not to say that she won’t sell a few tickets as long as they pick a tasteful picture on the posters.

As I’ve maintained from the outset – No Double Corey? No sell. It’s the simplest thing – we’re not expecting Shakespeare with fangs (and that’s an idea that bound to be picked up by the time you’ve read the end of this sentence) but play on our nostalgia and give us Corey vs. Corey.

The Lost Boys is a HeyUGuys favourite, and one hell of a vampire film. It was a fresh take on the vampire movie after decades of Hammer domination, and made stars of Keifer Sutherland and our friends, the Two Coreys.

Given that we’ve been in full nostalgia overload for the past few years it came as no surprise when the Lost Boys were found once again, updated in the anaemic sequel of last year: Lost Boys 2: The Tribe.

While Corey Feldman reassumed his role as Edgar Frog there was little to enjoy here as twenty years distance had offered nothing new to the Lost Boys mythology, and the skateboarding vamps were about as scary as Mary Poppins eating a cupcake. Worst of all the hazy angst of the first film was lost in favour of a fast paced gore fest, and so much of what made the original great was absent.

Good news then that the Lost Boys train looks set to run fully off the rails this time, as plot details emerge of Lost Boys 3: The Thirst.

This news comes to us via /Film who are quoting Production Weekly in detailing the ‘plot’ of the threequel:

When veteran vampire hunter Edgar Frog finds himself destitute and almost friendless, when [sic] a wealthy vampire-romance novelist offers him a small fortune to go on the vampire hunt of a lifetime and rescue her son.

Like, OME! While I watched Lost Boys 2 with not a little nostalgic whimsy I barely can read the sentence above without wishing the last nail in the Lost Boys be hammered shut. Nodding casually to Twilight is one thing, trying to leap onto the bandwagon in such a ridiculous manner is absurd. Casting Robert Pattinson is the only way to save this one.

And as if we needed any more bad news those who endured Lost Boys 2 to the bitter end were treated to a short cameo setting up the next film perfectly with the return of an old friend – I’m not going to spoil it, but LB fans will know what I’m talking about. As it happens the ‘old friend’ won’t be returning for the third film rendering it a bootless and deplorable end to the Lost Boys series.
