This doesn’t even sound like a TBC remake. It sounds like 5 people that get bumped from an airline flight.

Sounds more like a remake of Unaccompanied Minors rather than The Breakfast Club.

Jerry Butler, I saw Charlie Bartlett and it was like someone put Rushmore and Ferris Bueller in a blender and served it in a dirty glass. Striking similarties to both films, not to mention it’s failed attempts at being socially relevant.

Booooo!

For Slashfilm’s New York readers: The IFC Center is showing Sixteen Candles tonight and tomorrow at midnight. Breakfast Club soon to follow.

The twist at the end could be that they all get onto flight 92 on 911. :0

If it’s about the “quarterlife” crisis, I’ll maybe, probably watch it.

If stuck in an airport…

Corporate Go-getter: does work on his ultra portable laptop or checks email on his blackberry.

Musician: pulls out ipod or iphone and listens to music / watches a movie.

Flirt: Pulls out phone and texts

If any of them feel like breaking character I assume they go buy a book, go eat some food at one of the restaurants or do any number of things you do in an airport other than talk to people around you and have a coming-of-age moment.

This sounds retarded.

To me, it seems as much a remake of ‘Breakfast Club’ as ‘Disturbia’ was a remake of ‘Rear Window,’ which is something I’m not opposed to. None of these are the same characters or anything, so I’m ok with that. But, to be clear, a maestro helms something, a doofus like McG does not.

At least it’s not an actual remake of The Breakfast Club, I might have stroked out…or at least cursed on this comment…alot.

“a corporate go-getter, a musician and a flirt” I wonder what the other two stereotypes they have in their arsenal are…

Not that Breakfast Club didn’t abuse stereotypes (at first) but Hughes was largely about debunking those myths, you know, in a stereotypical feel-good-ending eighties sorta way. But god damn it Judd Nelson is the shit in that flick.

Looks like they found a way to remake Breakfast Club to me. Who knows, if they aim high and don’t dull the edges for a tween audience this could be mildly impacting on todays assumptions of… absolutely nothing.

This will probably just end up being The Hills or the OC in an airport. With a black guy and a musician thrown in for good measure.

At least we have the next Aronofsky flick to pray for.
