"The Breakfast Club" Remake

Veteran producer Bridget Johnson will take on "Bumped," a modern-day version of "The Breakfast Club," with McG protege Anna Mastro attached to direct from a script by Lizzy Weiss.
"Bumped" is a comedy-drama revolving around five twentysomethings -- including a corporate go-getter, a musician and a flirt -- who normally wouldn't be friends but who get to know one another when they're bumped from a flight and wind up stranded at Chicago's O'Hare Airport.
The project marks the directorial debut for Mastro, who worked closely with director/producer McG on his "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" and was an associate producer on his "Stay Alive."
Mastro also has developed and produced the CW's "Pussycat Dolls" series and, like McG, shot music videos.
The film will be financed independently and later set up at a studio; it likely won't shoot until the SAG strike situation is resolved.
John Hughes' 1985 film "The Breakfast Club" (with which "Bumped" has no formal association) was a generation-defining comedy that helped build the careers of actors like Emilio Estevez.
