    “The Lost Boys” Director Joel Schumacher Passes Away

    In somewhat sadder news today, veteran Hollywood director Joel Schumacher has unfortunately lost his battle with cancer. The “Batman & Robin” helmer was 80.

    Schumacher has so many titles to his name both in front of and behind the camera. Things like “The Wiz” film adaptation screenplay in 1978, as well as “Car Wash” the same year.

    He gained critical acclaim for his third studio picture, “St. Elmo’s Fire,” which he wrote and directed. Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, and a young Demi Moore starred.

    Our hearts of course belong to his 1987’s cult classic horror-vampire-comedy, “The Lost Boys.” And, admittedly, his much-maligned feature film presentation of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber‘s musical “The Phantom of the Opera,” which starred Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum as the Phantom and Christine, respectively.

    We recently revisited his “Batman” films, both “Batman Forever” and “Batman & Robin.”

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
