More on Lost Boys 2 and Long Awaited Sequels

Yep, even though I mentioned how I was not a real fan of Lost Boys and that I wasn't looking forward to the sequel since I did previously mention it I figured it would be somewhat worthwhile to mention that the sequel will get a direct to DVD (remember when it used to be called direct to video?) release in July. So, you can count the months down. Funny how a movie that did so well at the box office had so many problems getting a sequel produced when so many other films get one sequel after another.

Here's a related side rant. The original Howling did $17 million at the box office and was a huge hit. Yet, a sequel doesn't show up for 5 years and when it does it is an awful film that went direct to video.

BTW - If you are wondering why it took so long for American Werewolf in Paris to get made there were plans for a sequel in 1982 which would have seen David still alive learning he never was the last werewolf. But, when Avoco-Embassy went out of business it took the rights to the sequl with it for many years.

A Word on the Nightmare on Elm Street Remake

It would seem that Platinum Dunes (Michael Bay's company) has picked up the rights to do a Nightmare on Elm Street remake. Platinum Dunes was the company behind the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake of 2003. Contrary to what a number of horror fans felt, I personally enjoyed the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. The original TCM and NOES were released by New Line Cinema back in the day and the TCM remake was produced by Platinum Dunes and released by New Line. Granted, the New Line of today is not the same of it was when it was not part of the Time Warner conglomerate. Oh, here is some more trivia.

New Line rereleased TCM in theaters in 1983 AFTER it had been released on Home Video. The re-release had done 3 million at the box office which was a shocking figure for a 9 year old re-release. Of course, the film had been in theaters in one form or another for those 9 years either on the drive in circuit or in midnight screenings as well.

the original distributor of th film was the late, lamented Bryanston films of the 1970's which brought us Andy Warhol's Dracula and Frankenstein.

Anyway, I am looking forward to the new Elm Street film as well. This may prove to be an interesting remake.

Creature From the Black Lagoon DVD set

Ah..yes...the horror movie Gods are smiling upon us. If you don't believe they are all you need to do is look at the shelf of your local consumer electronics shop and you will notice that there is a cool release from Universal Home Entertainment: all three Creature From the Black Lagoon Films in a funky new boxed set. There is a lot I could write on these films such as having seen them on television back in the 1970's, watching the 3-D TV broadcast of Revenge of the Creature on TV in the 1980's and seeing the original film in glorious 3-D on the big screen in the 1990's....yup, I have a love for these films and will be picking up that boxed set sometime soon.

Batman vs. Predator

Since I mentioned Dark Horse Comics in a prior post I thought I should mention the DC/Dark Horse crossover that is out in trade paperback. Well, it has been out in trade paperback since forever and I purchased the single issues when they first came out and thought they were pretty awesome. Yup, the comic book world really knew how to properly use the Predator gimmick. What a shame the movie world failed so miserably. Anyway, the Batman vs. Predator comic rocked and it is well worth checking out!

AVP Requiem

I am hardly as down on sequels as some of my brethren out there in the blog world may be but I have to say that ALIEN VS PREDATOR REQUIEM has to be one of the most wasteful sequels I have ever witnessed. Ok, it is not that bad but it definitely ranks up there as one of the weaker sequels that has come down the pike. Considering the very weak box office that this film yielded it would seem that sci-fi and horror audiences seemed to agree as this dud of a dud simply throws in a bunch of mayhem with no real plot. It gets old and old quick. Yes, it it stunning that these creatures are still in theaters considering the first ALIEN was in 1979 and the first PREDATOR film was 1987. Yes, the Dark Horse comics that dealt centered on Alien vs. Predator were cool and were the inspiration for these films. What a shame the films weren't anywhere near as good as they could have been.
