do you think a good sequel to LostBoys (1987) would have been

Just out of curiosity have you seen the sequels?

Probably not. The two sequels they made weren’t that good, so they likely wouldn’t have been able to pull off your idea either

No. But even though I generally oppose remakes, a 2021 Lost Boys could be cool.

I read the script for The Lost Girls : It had some good-ish things in it. It mainly focused on Sam and Frog Brothers along with two sisters, one of which had fallen for one of the new Lost Boys (David also was still alive) The script had some fun bits, but it was also lazy at certain parts...I can't quite remember the details, but some stuff just came off that way as I read it. Maybe the right director would have been able to improve on some of the material.

I get how the return of David sounds good....but some of his lines were not that great. "I feel the need, the need to feed" But who knows maybe he would have been able to elevate the material.

There was also a bit too much references to Dracula. The Mayor is called Alucard, the sister's surname is Harker...it was a bit much. I guess looking back they could have made some simple changes to fix these.

I think overall, it would have been better received than the sequels we got. The humor is much the same, story is similar enough, all the stuff with Sam was great. I really think Corey Haim would have been able to nail all the humor with Sam that they had in the script.

There was also a script for a prequel about how The Lost Boys were turned into vampires.....meh...not a fan of prequels.
