The CW orders re-shoots on The Lost Boys pilot
Earlier this year, The CW ordered pilots based on The Lost Boys, Katy Keene and Nancy Drew. It’s already been revealed that the latter two pilots were already successfully given series orders by the network. Despite the network approving the pilot’s script, The Lost Boys series didn’t get the same treatment. Deadline reports that The CW has given Catherine Hardwicke’s series adaptation a chance to improve the original pilot with re-shoots and possibly changing some of the cast members.
