Sequel Rumors
Richard Brunton at The Movie Blog tackles the scuttlebut on Usual Suspects 2, Gladiator 2, and Breakfast Club 2.
Quote:
EMILIO ESTEVEZ has signed on to appear in a sequel to cult Brat Pack movie THE BREAKFAST CLUB, despite missing out on joining his castmates for a MTV Movie Awards reunion last month (JUN05)...
...But Estevez...urges fans of the film not to take his no-show as a sign he's not interested in a planned sequel.
He adds, "John's got an idea for a sequel - mature aged students at college, all doing time again - for some reason or another.
"The twist would be that we're all the polar opposites of how we were in the original. JUDD (NELSON), for instance, would now be the straight-laced one. I'm definitely in. If it happens, I'm there."
Comment: Now I suspect there will be some interest from you guys in this one. The original was great and there's been a lot of talk since the MTV appearance of some of the cast. If Estevez' comments are correct then it looks like there might just be a sequel on the cards.

Actually, this is a sequel that would be justified. If the screenplay isn't too hokey and it's done with reverence for the original material I would definitely see it. It's a natural progression to pick up later with all this time behind us. The whole Brat Pack will bring so much baggage to the table it would be an interesting spectacle. John Hughes has to be at the helm though.
