'The Breakfast Club' star reveals sequel plan that never happened

The Breakfast Club, a hit 1985 comedy in which five high-school boys found themselves in a detention center, could have had a sequel years later.

That is what one of the Universal Pictures film's actors, Anthony Michael Hall, revealed during his appearance on The Rich Eisen Show.

According to the actor, who portrayed Brian Johnson, the movie's late director, John Hughes, wanted a follow-up to the classic hit, imagining how the teenagers became grown-ups and exploring different aspects of their lives.

“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 lives, and they’re in the workforce, and they’re in their 30s." Hall recalled the conversation with the filmmaker took place three years after the film's release.

“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 [the sequel] at that time," he continued.

“So I think that it was something he was playing with. I don’t know if he had written it or not.”

Meanwhile, Hall and Hughes had collaborated on other films such as Sixteen Candles and Weird Science.
