Bkfast Club remake Feb. 29, 2008

\"\"

The Breakfast Club Ok, everybody, take a deep breath and relax. You're gonna wanna sit down for this one. THE BREAKFAST CLUB, the John Hughes directed teen angst classic, is being remade. Don't shoot the messenger! The film, titled BUMPED, comes from veteran producer Bridget Johnson and will be under "McG protege" (seriously?) Anna Mastro from a script by Lizzy Weiss and will, of course, center on five twenty-somethings who would never associate with each other in real life who become stranded at Chicago's O'Hare Airport when they're all bumped from a flight. Expect a Molly Ringwald cameo, at the very least. Hell, if they can get an Ally Sheedy cameo then my hat's off to them. They plan to shoot independently then take it to studios once it's done. However, shooting won't start until after the looming SAG strike situation is resolved.

Extra Tidbit: Molly Ringwald originally wanted to play Ally Sheedy's character.

If "Don't You (Forget About Me)" is not in this remake, may the director die in phthisis. Wait... I got a better idea. Cancel the movie.

From what I've read, calling this a remake of The Breakfast Club is like calling the Breakfast Club a remake of 12 Angry Men.

I was hoping this would be a remake. Why? Because THE BREAKFAST CLUB blows. Aside from Paul Gleason, Anthony Michael Hall and Judd Nelson, the performances suck... the writing sucks... Hughes was so much better when he did straight-up comedy. SIXTEEN CANDLES and WEIRD SCIENCE are classics. The rest of his class-struggle angsty films that he was involved in just suck ass.

As far as this film is concerned, it sounds like this'll blow too.

"So we meet again McG.. my old nemesis"

Well at lest it isnt a straight up remake, it's more like a modern retelling... like Baz Luhrams Romeo + julient. In the end there's nothing wrong with that.

You guys act like it'll change the original... if you guys don't like it, ignore it. Is nothing sacred? Obviously not, but you if you don't care for the idea of a remake, why act it?

Same theme, different film. Based on what's said here calling this a remake is a stretch.

Have the same characters but as adults in the given situation and we can begin screaming.

Why even call this a remake if it doesn't even follow the same plot? They'd be better off pretending it isn't a remake because then they won't have to deal with all of the backlash that goes along with remaking The Breakfast Club.

Maybe it was a script that had similar tones and characters and they just decided they'd rework it a tad bit and CALL it a remake to try and generate more buzz.

This is great for two reasons.

One, this will hopefully make people wise up about how UTTERLY POINTLESS remakes are.

And two, since this doesn't sound like an ACTUAL remake, but just a terrible, terrible ripoff, maybe that'll be enough to help make the movie bomb.

Why are these things good? The movie can't possibly do well; it'll simply trickle down as foul ichor onto the heads and shoulders of producers everywhere and make them think, Hmmm, maybe we should try ORIGINAL movies.

I'm hip to this news - because now they've reached THE truest all-time low.
