Corey Feldman says Corey Haim Dropped out of Lost Boys 2

Written by Nix | September 7th, 2007 | 26 Comments |

Did he or didn’t he? Was it a Visa thing? A legal thing? Or as Corey Haim’s manager assured us, a “logistics” thing? Or did Warner Bros. not want to be associated with a former child star with problems as long as your arm and mine put together? So many questions, so few answers. Well now there’s one answer: Corey Feldman has reached out to MTV and given his take on the news that Haim is no longer in the Lost Boys sequel, a “rumor” that has since been confirmed when Warner Bros. released their official press release for the movie, and never mentioned Haim or his character from the original even once.

Here’s what Feldman said in a statement to MTV:

“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 - The Tribe.’ 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 Bros. and feel confident that we are making a film that the fans will welcome as a complimentary addition to the franchise.”

You know, after the crap the Coreys pulled on their A&E Reality TV show, I don’t know if I can trust any one of these guys. Then again, is there ANYONE out there who isn’t going to go see the Lost Boys sequel because one or two or none of the Coreys are in it?

I don’t really like reality shows, but I do have to admit that The Two Coreys is a very interesting show. I have always thought that both Coreys do possess quite a bit of talent. I just hope that Corey Feldman can stop looking at all the negativity in Corey Haim. Corey is trying to be sincere. When you make major mistakes in your life the people you love the most are the ones to be the most critical of your positive changes. I hope that all goes well for this friendship and that they realize their great potential. It seems that Corey H is making the best effort to change, but the Feldmans are just knocking every idea down that Corey H has to continue his success in life. Corey H has come a long way and I for one am happy with his success so far, he can only continue to go up from here.

Although Corey Feldman was a part of The Lost Boys, it was what it was because of Corey Haim. For whatever reason he decided to pull out of the movie, is his business. But the movie never should have been made without him. He was the star of the first one and should have been a major part of the sequel.

TamZ on August 6, 2008

Your kiddin right? If Haim didn’t want to do it, then squash production? Man ur not too smart are ya? It’s a movie dude, Haim didn’t make the first one a success, and it can be done without him. I do wish him luck in his recovery, he is very handsome, and talented, but..come on.

I am huge corey haim and corey feldman fans. I remember the first time i ever saw them . it was in the lost boys. I acully was in the living room when my futher was watching the movie,and i was corey haim and thought he was the most adorable thing in the world. Even though i am only 13 i will always be corey’s number fan (both of them) . Its funny acully i will be at a friends house and at 10:00 i’ll be like omg my show is on (the two coreys) and my bff casey is like gosh who are they =p but i love you all eney ways. I can not lie i will watch the lost boys 2 but i will always know that it would have been at least 900 times better if haim had stared in it .

I don’t know where to begin. I guess I will start by , I am a huge fan. However, while watching the two coreys tonight… I was very upset. I am not bashing by any means… but I feel saddened by someone that has been a self proclaimed Corey Haim friend. I am a recovered addict myself, and the words that came from Susie, about there being no hope for Corey, made me cry. The pedistal that girl lives on must be pristine and people who throw stones, should not live in glass houses. I praise you Susie, for being perfect. Congratufuckinglations. I am heartbroken to think that you Mr. Feldman have given up on him. I know that there must have been several upon several bad mistakes on his behalf. However, There is ALWAYS HOPE. Dont give up on him. I haven’t. My prayers are with him. Remember it is always an up hill climb as a recovering addict. You yourself Mr. Feldman, know this. He will come out on top. Have faith.

I just watched episode 5 of “The Two Cory’s” season 2.. and I too was taken back by Suzie’s comment “There is no hope for him… don’t feel sorry for him, don’t!”. Haim is trying his best to get himself back on track, and a negative back-biting comment like that from Suzie is just like a kick in the balls. Yes, there is always hope. Suzie, if you are reading this, you should be very careful with what you say on camera. If you can’t say anything positive, then don’t say anything at all.

And as for Feldman giving up on Haim? He hasn’t. Feldman is probably his only true friend. The guy absolutely wants Haim to succeed. In this last episode of the Two Cory’s, Feldman was practically balling his eyes out in the therapy session telling Haim exactly that. But it looks like Haim had fallen back into bad habits as it sounds like he snorted some coke on set of The Lost Boys 2 (due to nervousness and pressure to perform).

Ultimately, Haim is his own worst enemy. Now that doors are opening in his acting career, he’s got to kick that drug habit for good. Haim - everyone is routing for you. Now go out there and kick some ass!

OMG, COREY HAIM IS HIS OWN WORST ENEMY……..BUAT HE LIKES IT THAT WAY! FELDMAN IS A VERY
ACCOMPLISHED AND TALENTED ACTOR, PRODUCER, DIRECTOR AND SEEMS TO HAVE TURNED HIS LIFE
AROUND TO THE POSITIVE. HE HAS AN AMAZING WIFE…..AND LIFE.
HE NEEDS TO CUT COREY HAIM LOOSE ……..THE GUY IS A LOSER AND WILL ONLY DRAG HIM DOWN
EMOTIONALLY. HAIM ISN’T READY TO GET CLEAN OR HONEST WITH ANYONE LEAST OF ALL HIMSELF!
HAIM IS NOT EMOTIONALLY OR MENTALLY MATURE…………….WHO KNOW WHEN HE EVER WILL BE!

I too am disgusted with Suzie Feldman’s comments on the set of “The Lost Boys 2″ She seems to feel that she is so above Corey Haim and she can do no wrong. I am a “Corey Haim” fan. I have nothing against Feldman however Haim is the one with the real talent here. Let’s face it. Yeah he is still going through so much negativity in his life but I personally think it is due to the demons of his molestation and that needs to be addressed and dealt with. I wish He would put this person in jail and recieve the one to one therapy he really deserves. Corey you are a wonderful actor and I believe you can get through this. Keep plugging baby

Both of them should just call it a day & hang themselves…………..

I grew up watching these guys and remember that after watching all of their movies, then seeing them again on cable for years, if either of them wants to move on with a career then they need to do stuff solo.

Feldman knows that. I saw him on Greg the Bunny as a car thief and it was hilarious! No Haim anywhere.

Haim has more than just drugs, but quitting would help. Anyone with an IQ over 100 could tell he was balls out plastered on something at the filming of LB2. Suzie was a classic uppity snob, who married up because she was a fan. The Feldmans have their own issues, but they seem like they are a team. Neither would hurt each other, just bash on Haim. Corey Feldman was doing it at the poker game just like she was at the filming.

Neither Corey is a Sean Connery, or even Keanu Reeves. They wouldn’t be able to carry a film solo…they only carry TV roles as themselves. I just don’t get the crazed fandom for these two.

Has Haim ever heard of a real JOB? Where’s he get all this money if he’s so impoverished? A Hummer, and enough to blow on full page spreads, assistants, new condos, and apparently powder…he doesn’t know how well off he’s got it, really. Audition for some commercials or bit roles first…jeez. “gotta have mah movie!!” Bo-f’n-hoo.

I have to say it is sad it neither Corey’s will be in the film :-(. It won’t be a Lost Boys if you don’t have the best 2 stars in the movie! But I have to agree with everyone else, Suzie it was wrong to say there is no hope. I have heard that from many people and it tore me down, thank god I did not go into the drug direction or alcohol seeing as that is all I have grown up with and molestation. I did not graduate from high school and as sad as it is I do not have my lisence. I am a 24 year old stay at home Mom of 2 most beautiful children I can never ever leave for anything or anyone. My only hope is my children, from being told I have no hope, I feel as if I have no confidence for anything except them.
There is hope PLENTY of it and one day it will come knocking on Haims door and leave you hanging for dear life. I just habe to say “There is no hope for you Suzie”. For you to say that about someone else makes you look like a awful person, sucks ass even more that it was caught on camera.

Corey Haim, follow your heart in the right Direction, there are a lot of people who love you regardless of what you have done or are still doing. What matters is you do have friends and your heart is still beating we all have our hands patting you on the back to keep moving forward.

I think neither Corey Haim or his boyfriend Corey Feldman “LOL”, really had any bigger parts in the first Lost Boys movie. They were just reconized more because they played in a few teeny-bopper flix in the past together. Kiefer and Jason Patrick seemed to have the bigger parts to me. Anyways I think their ruining it by making a sequel, some things are just to good remake… Corey Haim probably was the smart one and saved his career by backing out of the sequel. As far as Haim’s addiction problem let the dude do what he wants he’ll figure it out, atleast he’s rich and can afford the help, think of the millions who are poor and struggle with addiction everyday and end up sleeping on our streets. The media hypes everything up so much but good luck to Haim,stay off the Purple Dragon dude…..

 
Flabbus on August 2, 2008 Subscribed to comments via email

Haim didn’t back out…he couldn’t say his lines (cause he was too high) and got bounced out by Warner Brothers. He wanted to do the movie so bad he was about to pee himself.

Haim needs years of therapy with honesty on his part to get better, if not meds. He’s not on meds now, he’s “self-prescribed”.

Feldman is doing fine, minus some borderline p-whipping. He’s just pissed at Haim and really wants to help him.

No comment on Suzy. Nice boobs, I guess.

bella on September 1, 2008 Subscribed to comments via email

nice fake boobs? i guess they could compesate for her ugly face.

I loved watching the reality series. I found myself feeling very empathetic toward Corey Haim. Feldman was portrayed as very controlling. Not sure if this is really true or that was that way in the editing.

In the finale, Corey Haim was adamant that he didn’t want Feldman to bring former stars to talk to him. Feldman refused to listen and under the guise of doing it for Haim’s own good, decided to ignore Haim. When Haim got upset that Feldman didn’t listen everyone turned this around and blamed Haim and not Feldman. I think Feldman is fake sometimes and Haim just wants him to be real.

Hang in there Haim, a lot of people are pulling for you and enjoy you on screen but more importantly enjoy you personally. You are the real deal - flaws and all.

Stoptheworld on August 24, 2008 Subscribed to comments via email

That part made me mad also…you and I seem to be the only two who noticed that. Even the therapist should have told Feldman that he was wrong in pursuing this when Haim vehemently said “No”. The therapist seems so enthralled and borderline starstruck with the Feldmans, that she wasn’t doing her job correctly. At least that part of it anyway. Todd Bridges…yeah, when the time was right, who better to teach…but Paulie Shore? Paulie even critiquing the way Haim knocks on the door?. WHAT? C’mon Feldman you’re “controlling” is a positive thing and needs to be done for his own good, but this was way out of line.

I HAVE ONE THING TO SAY: SUSIE FELDMAN IS THE BIGGEST DOUCHE EVER. HAVING WATCHED THE SHOW I CAN SAY THAT SHE IS A MEGA BITCH AND IS JUST THAT: A DOG. THIS WAS FURTHER VERIFIED WHEN MY BOYFRIEND SHOWED ME HER PICTURES IN PLAYBOY AND I SEEN HER NASTY USED UP HANGING TO THE GROUND CROTCH. LOL NASTY I KNOW I LAUGHED SO LONG IT WAS FUNNY, MY BOYFRIEND SAID IT WAS THE GROSSEST SPREAD HE’S SEEN IN THERE BEFORE AND HE’S A SUBSCRIBER. I MUST SAY THE ONLY THING NICE I CAN SAY IS SHE HAS A DECENT BREAST AUGMENTATION. FURTHER MORE COREY FELDMAN IS A PUSSY CAUSE IN HIS EYES HIS WIFE IS NEVER WRONG & THEY DESERVE EACH OTHER THE MEGA DOUCHE AND THE GIANT PUSSY. LOL AND HAIM IS A DRAMAQUEEN BUT I ACTUALLY STILL LIKE THEM BOTH I JUST HATE THE THREE OF THEM TOGETHER. IT MIGHT GET BUTCHERED IN THE EDITING ROOM BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE FELDMAN’S ARE FUCKING AROUND WITH HAIMS HEAD OR SOMETHING. HAVING HAD THREE ADDICTS FOR FRIENDS AND KNOWING THEM BEFORE AND AFTER REHAB, THIS IS JUST NOT A COOL THING TO DO, ONLY A DOUCHE WOULD DO THAT. BUT ANYWAY THATS JUST WHAT I THINK. :)

I found myself hooked on this show, and I don’t normally watch t.v. I’m 33 and used to watch the Corey’s back in the day. I’ll have to admit I am more of a Haim fan. I just watched the latest show and really found myself angry at Feldman and his crew. I can see why Haim felt ganged up on. He stated specifically that he didn’t want other people talking to him about his problems. He wanted to try to mend his friendship with Feldman and just wanted some hang out time. Feldman needs to stop trying to fix his friend and just be there for him. Haim will never be like Feldman, so Feldman please lower your perfect expectations. Honestly, I think Haim would be better off finding better friends that appreciate his good qualities. He needs someone that can bring out the best in him, rather than the angry, reactive side. We’re all human, whether we’re famous or not. We all make mistakes, that’s how we learn. My prayers and thoughts are with you Haim.

 
Ang on August 10, 2008

She may not should have said what she did on camera. However, as one that comes from both sides of the track, she is most likely just looking out for her husband. He is in a heart wrenching situation. It is hard for Feldman to wath Haim go down and it is hard for Suzy to watch Feldman. She has put up with a lot and while she is not raining sympathy on Haim… he is not and should not be her main concern. Haim is going to have to hit bottom and he won’t as long as others are trying to catch him. Before anyone jumps …. I’m not saying this out of meaness….just experience. It is a fact.

 
Wow on August 11, 2008

Holy crud these people are messed up. Forget Haim’s “Adavan” mental block, the whole group is retarded or something. I laughed when Pauly Shore heard Haim exclaim “why am I here?” and said “why am *I* here?!?”
lol

Skinny Feldergarb is getting liposuction for no reason at all but vanity.
Jeez this is like watching some alternate universe or something.

skepticguy on August 24, 2008

The whole reality series is obviously staged. The whole point of the show is to make us forget of the ‘two Coreys’. It sure seems to have worked with some of you guys.

But, what about Corey Haim? Will this be a career ending move? I doubt it. People in the industry will recognize that it was scripted. Besides, there is no such thing as bad publicity anymore. Case in point: he’s got a new movie coming out soon and he’s on set in Toronto for another one.

o.k. first of all I like how everyone is blaming corey haim….Self rightous assholes who dont even know what its like to have an addiction. Its hell to live with and a demon you have to fight everyday. The fact that mr.feldman and his dude looks like a lady,pay attention to me,wife,love the attention of the cameras. Sad but because of Mr.Haims addictions,and problems,these other two assholes are looking like the good guys who want to help..my ass. Corey feldman is trying to capitalize on his best friends problems,not to mention to make him self look like less of a wannabe,by marrying one of the ugliest playmates ever. Come on Corey you couldnt have found one that silky hair and a nice complexion,and somewhat of an ass? Poor susie,she needs a life investment of flat irons,and a stylist that can deal with ethnic hair,or in her case pubic hair. She should also see if maybe she can get on the bang wagon with Jessica simson and try some of that pimple cream,and lets please not get started on her teeth,,,chew any rocks lately susie???? The fact is she is a jealous nobody that with out marrying that wannabe corey feldman or doing what she does best showing her fake tits,and having the camera man blur out her ugly mug,she is a nobody,hopefuly her acting the bitch she is just might make her famous,just look at the other retards and losers who are now famous with more looks than her,
Good luck Corey Haim,just stay away from these assholes,they are just capitalizing on your sorrow.

 
Rico on September 1, 2008

Did The Coreys get canceled? A&E has nothing on them, and the show wasn’t on last night.
