It's on right now. Damn, I haven't seen this movie in ages. One of the Haim/Feldman duo flicks. Oh and you can't forget Heather Grahm's hotness!!

I heard a rumor about a sitcom starring the Corey's...anyone else hear this?

 

Corey Haim did have a tv show back in the mid 1980's or so with Burt Young? (Paulie from Rocky). They played roommates at a dormed school.

Haim and Feldman reunite!

Posted by Clint Morris on June 21, 2006

Knew it was bound to happen, sooner or later - after all, if safari jackets and David Hasselhoff can come back into fashion, why can’t the Felddog and the Haimster?

 

80s pin-up duo, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman, are set to reunite on screen for the first time in ten years. Their last collaboration was “Busted” (1996), a direct-to-video travesty, directed by the latter.

 

The “Lost Boys” and “License to Drive” co-stars will front “The Coreys”, a new RDF USA ("Wife Swap") TV series, in which they’ll play fictionalised versions of themselves a la "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

 

"The Coreys" picks up with Feldman living the comfortable suburban life with his wife Suzie and son, until circumstances bring his old pal Haim back into the picture. Episodes would follow Haim -- single and the total opposite of Feldman -- as he shakes life up for the Feldmans.

 

RDF USA exec VP of current/development Greg Goldman said because Feldman and Haim have been friends on and off screen for several years, the chemistry between the two " just pops off the screen."

 

Granted, Feldman and Haim really only started talking again a couple of years back. They had apparently had some differences – Haim was pretty heavily into drugs, Feldman got clean, for instance – back in the late 90s that led to a bust.

 

Feldman told Moviehole a couple of years ago that "We'll always be friends, but we don't see each other a lot now. I know, I have moved onto other things.

 

They never planned on working together, he told us. "It was just one of those fluke things actually. It wasn't planned, it just happened. I mean, the movies we did in the 90's together were planned, but the earlier ones were a fluke".

 

They reunited to cameo in the David Spade film, “Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star”, as well as to contribute to the “Lost Boys” DVD, that was released a year or so back.

 

RDF will begin pitching “The Coreys” to broadcast and cable networks on Thursday. Goldman says he's counting on the "huge nostalgia factor" to result in compelling TV.

 

"Everyone feels like we know the Coreys," Goldman said. "They are, for all intents and purposes, brothers. One moment they're having knock-out fights, and the next moments they're hugging as if nothing had happened."

 

Film wise, they’re both still consistently working. Feldman’s most recent films include the likes of “Puppet Master Vs. Demonic Toys” and “Space Daze”, whilst Haim recently returned to the world of film – having now cleaned himself up – with a role in the film “Universal Groove”, opposite Chris Mulkey.

 

Will they reunite on the big screen, too?

 

One rumour floating about is that both have spoken to Warner about possibly re-teaming them on the big screen for a “Lost Boys” sequel.

 

The sequel – at one stage called “The Lost Girls” – has been on-and-off for a good decade or so now (Joel Schumacher has been trying to get it off the ground for years), but the success of the recent special edition DVD release, as well as the fact that the Corey’s have rekindled their camaraderie, apparently has the studio considering to bring the Frog Brothers and co. back to theatres. We shall see.

 

Meantime, you can catch the boys in your lounge room.

 

Thanks to 'Spez', 'Michael'

Heather Graham was in that? You have to admire someone to stick with acting for as long as she did until she finally got a break-out role in a movie 9 years later.
