I think they are remaking the movie to have the same premise...Jason is the killer...and he kills teenagers at a camp. There isn't a whole lot of plot in that movie. I don't know past number 4 if they actually connected the storyline/people together. But...does it even matter?

I don't think it does when it comes to remakes. Look at The Hills Have Eyes for example, the original it was just inbred mountain people and in the remake it was mutated people from atomic testing. That seemed to change it quite a bit.

Honestly... I think they just want to capitalize on a franchise ...and they want to use the name....that's why they call it something people recognize. Otherwise...they could have a new killer with a football helmet on his head ..instead of a hockey mask...and have him called "BOB"...but would it get as much attention?

Yeah actually it was. You just have to give it a chance.

I liked Losst Boys 2, yeah. But nothing can compare to Keifer (even another Sutherland in the sequel) as David. Seriously whenever I watch The Lost Boys I either cry or pretty much cry when he dies.

There's also the War Games sequel which came out the same day as Lost Boys 2 which was pretty good. I just wish that hollywood could be original again, instead of remakes and movies based off of books and "true events"

Lost Boys 2 was okay but apparently there was a small comic book series after the first movie. so the new movie takes place after the comics but they don't bother to explain what happened in the comics. So It's a little confusing.

Yeah I was wondering what the hell was up when I watched the alternate endings and I've been wondering if they are going to make a third.

First a sequel to Wall Street and now a remake of Footloose; starring Zac Ephron no less. Can't they leave well enough alone?

Agreed but they will remake it, even if nowadays they luck that point that they were making 20 something years ago...

I found this website...I never knew they intended to remake Weird Science

Another one, but I think they already dismiss The Last Starfighter but seeing how things are going, who knows... [Roll Eyes]
