DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT THIS: I've long thought The Breakfast Club could make a solid play--almost entirely one setting, small cast, brand name recognition for a run. You could either keep it a period piece or make fairly minor adjustments to plot (have their cell phones taken away) and dialogue and set it in the here and now. We're not getting that, but Jason Reitman is directing a one night only staged reading of the screenplay in LA. While billed as a surprise cast, he's announced on Twitter that James Van Der Beek will play the Emilo Estevez part, Patton Oswalt the Anthony Michael Hall part, Mindy Kaling the Ally Sheedy part, and J.K. Simmons will play the janitor. Any suggestions for who fills Molly Ringwald's princess and Judd Nelson's criminal shoes or who will remind people not to mess with the bull as Principal Vernon?
