Brat Pack Set to Reunite as St Elmo's Fire Sequel Ignites Production

The film that gave us the Brat Pack is getting a follow-up. Here's what we know about the new St Elmo's Fire sequel.

It's been nearly four decades since the original St Elmo's Fire hit theaters, and the iconic coming-of-age film still holds up today. The movie follows a group of recent Georgetown University graduates as they navigate love, careers, and life after college. The ensemble cast, which includes Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, and Demi Moore, became known as the Brat Pack and went on to dominate 80s cinema.

Fast forward to the present, and it seems that a sequel to the beloved film is finally in the works. Below, we'll break down everything we know about the St Elmo's Fire sequel so far.

Little information has been revealed about the plot of the sequel, but we do know that the original cast members are set to reprise their roles. This news has left fans wondering what the characters from the original film have been up to all these years. Will they be navigating midlife crises or helping their own kids navigate the challenges of college? Only time will tell.

It's also unclear whether the new film will take place in real-time or if there will be a time jump. The fact that the original film was released in 1985 and the sequel is being released nearly four decades later means that the characters will likely be older, but the question remains as to how the story will address their aging.

One thing that has been confirmed is that the original director, Joel Schumacher, will not be involved in the sequel due to his passing in 2020. A new director is set to take the helm, but their name has yet to be announced.

As for the potential release date, no official word has been given. Given the fact that production has not yet started, it's likely that the film won't be released until at least 2025.

Despite the lack of information, fans are already excited about the prospect of a St Elmo's Fire sequel. The Brat Pack's influence on 80s pop culture cannot be overstated, and many people have fond memories of watching the film in theaters or on home video. The sequel is sure to generate buzz, especially if it can recapture the magic of the original film.

The stakes are high for the St Elmo's Fire sequel, but if anyone can make it work, it's the Brat Pack. Stay tuned for more updates as production begins and the release date draws near.
