THE LOST BOYS TV Series Casting News: Meet Your New Sam and Grandpa
“You just wait until mom finds out!”
Two of the most important characters from 1987’s The Lost Boys (directed by Joel Schumacher) have been recast for the CW’s in-production TV series based on the film. In the movie, snarky Sam was played by Corey Haim and his pot-smoking grandpa was played by Barnard Hughes. Their counterparts on the TV show will be played by Rio Mangini (Everything Sucks) and Del Zamora (Mayans MC) respectively.
According to Deadline:
Mangini will play, Sam, Michael’s younger brother, whose high level of literacy is matched by an equally high level of snark. Zamora portrays Frank Garcia, Lucy’s father, a cantankerous old hippie who owns a beloved local bed and breakfast. In spite of his laid-back appearance, he’s a strict disciplinarian who probably knows more about the dark side of town than he cares to tell.

Synopsis:
Teenage brothers Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim) move with their mother (Dianne Wiest) to a small town in northern California. While the younger Sam meets a pair of kindred spirits in geeky comic-book nerds Edward (Corey Feldman) and Alan (Jamison Newlander), the angst-ridden Michael soon falls for Star (Jami Gertz) — who turns out to be in thrall to David (Kiefer Sutherland), leader of a local gang of vampires. Sam and his new friends must save Michael and Star from the undead.
