10 Movie Sequels That Basically Wrote Themselves (But Never Happened)

The Breakfast Club has long been held up as the pinnacle of John Hughes' movies. Returning to these characters to see if they did in fact remain friends, or if their relationships deteriorated, has endless possibilities to explore. The most obvious way to do this, would have been by ageing the characters up 10 years, and setting the events during a high-school reunion.

Now adults with their own lives and responsibilities, the group would slowly begin to wander off from the reunion, eventually meeting up in the library where they shared that detention all those years ago. This would allow them to reopen those old discussions, as well as fill the audience in on what happened to the group after that day.

The sad part about this obvious premise for a sequel is that it was obvious to John Hughes too. He had long planned to do a "10 years later" sequel to The Breakfast Club, but wanted to wait for the actors to reach the appropriate ages.

Unfortunately, Hughes had falling outs with a number of the original cast members. He shelved the project as a result, which is a terrible waste of a film that would have given audiences the closure they wanted.
