Warner Bros. Sinking Teeth In New ‘Lost Boys’ Movie Starring Noah Jupe & Jaeden Martell

Yesterday, it was revealed by The Hollywood Reporter that Warner Bros. is moving forward with a new Lost Boys film after the CW series didn’t get a series order.

While it’s not stated if this new movie will be hard-reboot or a continuation of the 1987 film helmed by the late Joel Schumacher, they’ve named that young actors Noah Jupe (A Quiet Place Part II, No Sudden Move, Ford v. Ferrari) and Jaeden Martell (Knives Out, IT, IT: Chapter Two, Defending Jacob) have nabbed lead roles.

The modern day incarnation will be penned by Static Shock screenwriter Randy McKinnon with Jonathan Entwistle set to direct. Entwistle recently worked on Lucasfilm’s Willow sequel series that will air on Disney+ in 2022 (was filming in Wales) and is attached for a brand new film/television reboot of Power Rangers for Hasbro and eOne Entertainment.

It’ll be interesting if the new pic will keep it’s R-rating or attempt to be a more kid-friendly project, then again, Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema haven’t shied aware from making mature horror movies. Warner Bros. recently released James Wan’s gory/weird Malignant and are behind a new Salem’s Lot film based on the Stephen King vampire novel.

When Lost Boys will begin production is unclear, but we should hear more about the project in the coming weeks/months.

THE LOST BOYS – Teenage brothers Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim) move with their mother (Dianne Wiest) to a small town in northern California. While the younger Sam meets a pair of kindred spirits in geeky comic-book nerds Edward (Corey Feldman) and Alan (Jamison Newlander), the angst-ridden Michael soon falls for Star (Jami Gertz) — who turns out to be in thrall to David (Kiefer Sutherland), leader of a local gang of vampires. Sam and his new friends must save Michael and Star from the undead.

‘Salem’s Lot’: James Wan-Produced Vampire Flick Adds ‘Malignant’ Cinematographer Michael Burgess

New Line Cinema, producer James Wan, and writer/director Gary Dauberman are re-teaming for a feature film adaptation of the Stephen King vampire novel Salem’s Lot.

Salem’s Lot is a small New England town with white clapboard houses, tree-lined streets, and solid church steeples. A stranger had also come to the Lot, a stranger with a secret as old as evil, a secret that would wreak irreparable harm on those he touched and in turn on those they loved. Author Ben Mears returns to Salem’s Lot to write a book about a house that has haunted him since childhood only to find his isolated hometown infested with vampires. While the vampires claim more victims, Mears convinces a small group of believers to combat the undead.

Dauberman has some strong horror credits as he previously wrote the scripts for It and It: Chapter Two for director Andy Muschietti, another Stephen King adaptation. Other projects he’s written include the Swamp Thing series, The Nun, Annabelle Comes Homes, Annabelle: Creation, and Annabelle.

Things are finally coming together on Salem’s Lot as they’re assembling their production team.

The Ronin can confirm that cinematographer Michael Burgess will reunite with director Gary Dauberman, after previously working with him on Annabelle Comes Home. Burgess has worked on other horror films such as The Nun, The Conjuring 2, The Curse of La Llorona, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and James Wan’s upcoming horror pic Malignant.

We’re still waiting on official news concerning casting for Salem’s Lot.

James Wan is currently shooting Aquaman & The Lost Kingdom at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in Watford, England with Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, and Patrick Wilson reprising their roles.

His next pic Malignant will hit theaters and HBO Max on September 10.

Madison is paralyzed by shocking visions of grisly murders, and her torment worsens as she discovers that these waking dreams are in fact terrifying realities.
