Overview
- Anthony Michael Hall told the Rich Eisen Show that his last conversation with John Hughes included a pitch to reunite the five Breakfast Club characters as working adults in their 30s.
- Hall said the call happened around the late 1980s and that comedian John Candy was on the line during the discussion.
- Hall added he does not know whether Hughes ever wrote a sequel script and reporters have found no public evidence that one was completed.
- Multiple entertainment outlets ran Hall’s account this week and coverage notes the story rests on personal memory rather than new archival documents.
- Cast views and practical hurdles complicate any revival because some original actors have opposed a straight remake and any project would require estate permissions and fresh creative choices to address the film’s 1980s limits.
