Warner Bros. is remaking the 1987 teen vampire classic movie "The Lost Boys".

A "Quiet Place" actor Noah Jupe will star along with "It" actor Jaeden Martell in the new take.

Filmmaker Jonathan Entwistle is directing the remake from a script by screenwriter Randy McKinnon.

Automatik’s Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Fred Berger are producing with Zac Frognowski and Josh Glick serving as executive producers.

The original movie, which grossed over $32M at the U.S box office, followed a mother and two sons, who move to back to the seaside town she grew up, discover that it is occupied by vampires.

Joel Schumacher directed the 1987 movie which starred Jason Patric, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Alex Winter, Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Dianne Wiest, Bernard Hughes, and Edward Herrmann.

Warner Bros. is developing the movie after the CW opted that Rob Thomas’ pilot was a no-go.

Thomas was developing a TV version of "The Lost Boys", which was a longtime passion project for him and the CW. The pilot was already in production when the coronavirus outbreak suspended all filming in mid-March 2020.

The CW opted that the pilot was a no-go after seeing some footage and choose to move ahead then with Kung-Fu instead, due to parity between the CW’s affiliated studios, Warner Bros TV, and CBS TV Studios, the two WBTV-produced pilots were vying for one slot.
