Another month, another Brat Pack sequel rumor... Just one month after Molly Ringwald claimed that a "Sixteen Candles" sequel was in the works, British website Contact Music is reporting that Emilio Estevez has "signed on" for a sequel to another John Hughes classic, "The Breakfast Club."

[Estevez] says, "John's got an idea for a sequel - mature aged students at college, all doing time again - for some reason or another. "The twist would be that we're all the polar opposites of how we were in the original. Judd (Nelson), for instance, would now be the straight-laced one. I'm definitely in. If it happens, I'm there."

Personally, I'm not buying it. First of all, are we really supposed to believe that a story like this is going to break via Contact Music? They were the first media outlet to report this news, and every subsequent story on the subject has cited CM as its sole source. I'm also hesitant to believe anything Brat Pack-related on a British website after the false rumors of a "Pretty in Pink" sequel back in April. Most importantly, however, the text of the Contact Music story simply isn't credible. The story's lead claims Estevez is already signed for the picture, yet none of the quotes attributed to the actor even come close to confirming this detail. In fact, if you look at the quotes alone, all Estevez actually says is that John Hughes has an idea (not a script or a studio or a greenlight, mind you) and that, if it ever gets made, he'll gladly take the work. Of course he'll take the work. He's Emilio-freaking-Estevez. He's got nothing else to do. In fact, he's probably begging John Hughes to make a sequel. How much you want to bet that next month there'll be a rumor about a "St. Elmo's Fire" sequel? [Contact Music] Estevez is a definite for Breakfast Club reunion movie (via Cinematical)
