ALEX WINTER: I think it's the most successful interpretation of all the things [director Joel Schumacher] did well, which was fashion and music and understanding actors and story and style and — I'm just gonna call a spade a spade — homoeroticism and sexual ambiguity and sexual adventurousness. So few people really had a forward vision. And Joel co...
WINTER: I do think that, for sure, our characters had that kind of undercurrent. I don't think it required, you know, sitting around a table read discussing it. I had spent my previous five years doing two long-running Broadway shows back to back — during the beginning of the AIDS crisis and at the height of the disco era. I started going to discos...
WINTER: Ah, man. I'll get in so much trouble with literally everybody else involved in the film. I mean, look, it was the mid '80s. I was 19. I was getting up at eight at night and going to bed at seven, eight in the morning every day in Santa Cruz. It was insanity. It was really fun. We were on bikes all the time.

Jul 29, 2017 · An essential staple of 1980s American pop cinema, particularly to anyone who grew up during that time, The Lost Boys has it all: impeccable production design, a great script that blends laughs with scares, sterling direction, shockingly good cinematography (Oscar-nominated DoP Michael Chapman, who lensed Raging Bull, made his return to cinema after a four-year absence with this film) and a ...
