“Screenwriter Heather Mitchel is currently rewriting the screenplay; we have arrived at the process of evaluating the comments we have received. We will film the pilot in the fall [norte-americano]. There are some scenes where we think we can do a better job, so the new script will be about 40% rewritten. We will not start from scratch. ”

Luckily, script writer Heather Mitchell loves the original film and is determined to make the series look more like “The Lost Boys.” It will have a lot in common with the film.
