Next in line for a terrible remake: 'The Breakfast Club'
'Bumped' is 'Breakfast' at an airport By Steven Zeitchik Feb 29, 2008 NEW YORK -- Veteran producer Bridget Johnson will produce "Bumped," a modern-day version of "The Breakfast Club," with McG protege Anna Mastro attached to direct from a script by Lizzy Weiss. "Bumped" is a comedy-drama revolving around five twentysomethings -- including a corporate go-getter, a musician and a flirt -- who normally wouldn't be friends but who get to know one another when they're bumped from a flight and wind up stranded at Chicago's O'Hare Airport. The project marks the directorial debut for Mastro, who worked closely with director-producer McG on his "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and was an associate producer on his "Stay Alive." Mastro also has developed and produced the CW's "Pussycat Dolls" series and, like McG, shot music videos. The film will be financed independently and later set up at a studio; it likely won't shoot until the SAG strike situation is resolved. Johnson ("As Good as It Gets"), who was an exec at Touchstone as well as at James L. Brooks' Gracie Films, produced the upcoming Miramax release "Smart People." John Hughes' 1985 film "The Breakfast Club" (with which "Bumped" has no formal association) was a generation-defining comedy that helped build the careers of actors like Emilio Estevez. http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i2...hainsaw_02.jpg Granted, it's not an actual remake starring the current crop of Disney "actors", but still....-ohbfrank- |
I like how only Emilio Estevez is listed. :lol:

with McG protege Anna Mastro attached to direct |
The article says this new movie has no formal association with The Breakfast Club, so why are they even bothering to bring it up? The only thing it seems to have in common is a group of disparate people forced to be together in close quarters, which sounds more like any stupid reality show these days.

So is "Lost" the TV version of the Breakfast Club?

Pretty shitty reporting by the Hollywood Reporter and pretty remarkable that the editors basically allowed an insincere press release from the production company to run as an article.

Not a remake, just yet another rehash of the same strangers-thrown-together plot.
This thread has weaved a web of lies. |
