Corey Feldman Not a Fan of Ghostbusters Direction; Doesn’t Want to See a Lost Girls Flick
Corey Feldman recently sat down with MovieWeb and discussed the possibility of a fourth film in The Lost Boys franchise and why he doesn’t want to see it rebooted with an all-girl cast.
“After what happened with Ghostbusters, I would veer to stay away from that idea,” says Feldman of the negative reaction to the film and its trailers. “I’m not a hater. I encourage all artistic endeavors. And I support anything as long it’s good. I just hate seeing crap, and I hate seeing schlock. And I hate seeing when they take a very valuable and positive franchise and destroy it with something that sounds like a really good idea but is not.”
Feldman continues, “So, to me… I’m a firm believer in giving the fans what we know they want. And give it to them the way they want it. It’s always nice to throw some surprises in there. But I am also not a believer in the reboot. I do not think it is a good idea. I don’t like it. I think when fans want a sequel to their favorite films, they want to see their favorite characters and their favorite actors playing those characters and they want to know where those characters are ten years later or a few years later. And that is the fun of a sequel.”
“That is in my personal opinion as a filmgoer and a movie maker. That doesn’t mean I’m right. Everyone has the right to their opinion. I have to make sure my intentions are pure.”
Amen.
As for another Lost Boys, “Do we have something on the table at the moment? No. But there might be some ideas kicking around. Lets just say, at this point, they are at the idea stage.”
