‘The Breakfast Club’ Should Not Get a Remake, Says Molly Ringwald: ‘It’s Very White… We Don’t Talk About Gender. It Doesn’t Represent Our World Today’
Quote:Molly Ringwald is not in favor of “The Breakfast Club” getting a remake. Appearing at the C2E2 fan convention in Chicago (via People), the actor said the 1985 classic is not diverse enough to warrant a straightforward re-do.
“I personally don’t believe in remaking that movie, because I think this movie is very much of its time,” Ringwald said. “It resonates with people today. I believe in making movies that are inspired by other movies but build on it and represent what’s going on today. This is very, you know, it’s very white, this movie. You don’t see a lot of different ethnicities. We don’t talk about gender. None of that. And I feel like that really doesn’t represent our world today.”
I mean... in fairness to what I think she's trying to say is Hollywood would 100% make Blender an angry black man (or latino I guess) chasing what would still be a rich white girl casting and all the implications a race swap casting would suggest.
Probably end with him doing a wakanda forever salute and a hip hop final song too.
