Nowadays, it's safe to say that The Breakfast Club remains one of the most iconic films of the 1980s, not to mention one of the most universally beloved teen movies ever made.
A rousing study of teenage angst and the struggles that come with young adulthood, The Breakfast Club has continually earned rave reviews from critics and contemporary viewers alike, with most teenage audiences connecting with the film over its emotional portrayal of high school age groups.
While a fantastic movie on its own, it's interesting to note that director and writer John Hughes planned a tentative sequel to the film near the end of his life, one that would have followed the movie's main cast as they settled into their 30s.
In a recent interview on The Rich Eisen Show,Breakfast Club star Anthony Michael Hall discussed Hughes' original plans for a sequel, revealing that his last conversation with the director was a lengthy phone call with the late comedian John Candy.
“The last time I spoke to Mr. Hughes, he called me with John Candy on the phone and it was about 1988 and we just hung out on the phone for a couple hours and he talked about it at that time,” the 58-year-old Hall said. “It was something that was on his mind, the idea of bringing back The Breakfast Club.”
"Like those five characters reunited somehow later in their life and they’re in the workforce and they’re in their 30s. I mean, it’s a long time ago," the Edward Scissorhands actor continued.
“So, I think that it was something he was playing with,” Hall went on to say. “I don’t know if he had written it or not, but he just was so prolific.”
As evidence of that fact, Hall recounted that Hughes initially approached him with the plot of Weird Science in between scenes on The Breakfast Club.
“He came to me about a couple weeks in and we were shooting The Breakfast Club and he came to me in the hallway," Hall remembered. "He goes, ‘I just came up with the other idea for our next film.’ He goes, ‘It’s going to be you and this other kid. You’re going to create a girl in the computer.’ I’m like, ‘What?’"
“He wrote an entire act of Weird Science after we had wrapped the night before," the actor continued. "So, he was just incredibly prolific.”
