John Hughes had been considering a The Breakfast Club sequel, claims Anthony Michael Hall.
The actor, who played 'the brain' Brian Johnson in the iconic 1985 coming-of-age movie, has revealed the late filmmaker had discussed a follow-up with him.
"The last time I spoke to Mr. Hughes, he called me with John Candy on the phone," Hall recalled during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show.
"It was about 1988, and we just hung out on the phone for a couple hours, and he talked about it at that time."
Hall formed a close bond with Hughes after the pair worked on a series of films including The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and Weird Science.
As Hall continued to discuss Hughes' dream to revisit The Breakfast Club – which also starred Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy and Judd Nelson – he mused on a possible storyline for the sequel.
"It was something that was on his mind, the idea of bringing back The Breakfast Club," Hall shared.
"Like, those five characters reunited somehow later in their life and they're in the workforce and they're in their 30s. I mean, it's a long time ago. So I think that it was something he was playing with. I don't know if he had written it or not."
Elsewhere in the interview, Hall recalled working on Weird Science with Hughes.
The 58-year-old actor revealed the late director came up with the idea for the 1985 film – which also starred Kelly LeBrock, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Bill Paxton and Robert Downey Jr. – while working on The Breakfast Club.
"Even when we were doing Breakfast Club, he came to me about a couple weeks in. He goes, 'I just came up with another idea for our next film'," Hall explained.
"He goes, 'It's going to be you and this other kid. You're going to create a girl in the computer.' I'm like, 'What?'"
Weird Science, which was written and directed by Hughes, followed two high school nerds who use a computer program to create the perfect woman.
Hughes died aged 59 from a heart attack in August 2009.
