Corey Feldman, via his official blog, has responded to the recent ramblings of his partner in 80's fashion crime, Corey Haim, and the production status of the straight to video sequel, The Lost Boys 2: The Tribe. As a recap, you might wanna to check out this video of Corey Haim talking about his reasons for not being in the film, before you read Feldman's statement below.
I feel that I need to address some of the statements that have been made in reference to Corey Haim's and my friendship and his participation in Lost Boys 2. I have always considered Corey Haim a brother and dear friend and have always been there for him. Although I am deeply saddened that he has decided not to participate in Lost Boys 2, it was strictly his decision. For the record, I was not willing to go forward with any production or deal until I was assured that Corey Haim was onboard. I received confirmation from my representation that Haim had announced that he was officially attached to Lost Boys 2.
After starting production in Vancouver, I learned that Haim had chosen to pull out of the project. The reasons for his decisions are his and his alone. Although I am saddened by Haim's departure, I am enjoying working on the film and am very excited about working with my Frog Brother Jamison Newlander and to carry the torch forward. I am very proud to be part of this highly anticipated sequel for Warner Brothers and feel confident that we are making a film that the fans will welcome as a complimentary addition to the franchise.

what should have happened was, good director, good writer, new and good actors, and just make a whole new movie that would go to the big screen theaters, make it f*cking dark as hell, and of course, an R rating, the first one did that and look what happened...do it again with a fresh new story that has nothing to do with the old characters

Haim needs to realise that Hollywood kicked his arse to the curb a long time ago and that his family was the story of the first one and not necassarily every instalment!

God damn it HAIM! MovieWeb needs to sit you down and have a talk with you...
All I'm saying is that WB better be giving all of these guys HUGE parts in this film. Screw the cameo. Screw the "new blood" of the franchise....I WANT THESE GUYS!
