Will There Be Sequel To 1985 Classic St. Elmo's Fire? Rob Lowe Reportedly Hints At The Potential Saying; 'This Is A Real Thing'
Rob Lowe confirms a new St. Elmo's Fire is in early development, aiming to reunite the original cast. There's renewed interest of revival following the Brats documentary.
Rob Lowe, known for his role in the classic film St. Elmo's Fire, has confirmed that a new version of the movie is in the works. The original 1985 film, directed by Joel Schumacher and co-written with Carl Kurlander, follows a group of recent Georgetown University graduates as they navigate the challenges of entering adulthood.
The original cast included stars like Emilio Estevez, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Andie MacDowell, and Mare Winningham.

In an interview with Screen Rant about the second season of Unstable, Lowe mentioned "This is a real thing. It's very, very, very, very, very early stages, and I don't really wanna say more than that, other than it's early stages, real thing." While he didn't share many details, he confirmed that it's a "real thing" that is being discussed.
The new version of St. Elmo's Fire hinges on one crucial factor: reuniting the original cast, often referred to as the Brat Pack. This group of actors became famous in the 1980s for starring in teen-oriented coming-of-age films like St. Elmo's Fire and The Breakfast Club.
The recent documentary Brats, released on Hulu on June 13, explored the Brat Pack's impact on their careers and personal lives, reigniting interest in the group's work.
Sony is reportedly interested in developing a new St. Elmo's Fire movie, but bringing the original cast back together poses challenges. Some actors, like Judd Nelson, didn't participate in the Brats documentary, highlighting the difficulty of reuniting all the original members. Despite these challenges, Lowe confirmed that there are efforts underway to bring the cast back together for this new project.
