Pt. 2 - "THE LOST BOYS": 17 YR. RETROSPECTIVE (2004)

"THE LOST BOYS": A RETROSPECTIVE
(2004 / Warner Bros. - Monkey Feeds The Robot / 24 mins. total)

17 year "look back" on 1987's THE LOST BOYS includes interviews with director Joel Schumacher (FLATLINERS, FALLING DOWN), producer Richard Donner, actors Kiefer Sutherland, Edward Herrmann, Cory Feldman, Corey Haim; cinematographer Michael Chapman and more. Originally intended as a "children's genre film" (it's title taken from Barrie's PETER PAN), under the influence of Schumacher, THE LOST BOYS became a seminal 80s era "young adult" social treatise - a genre variant / companion piece to LESS THAN ZERO, ST. ELMO'S FIRE and THE BREAKFAST CLUB. It would also set the thematic paradigm / matrix for future young adult genre / drama "mash ups" such as the HARRY POTTER, TWILIGHT and HUNGER GAMES series, and non-genre entries such as POINT BREAK.
