St. Elmo’s Fire Sequel in Script Development

Rob Lowe has confirmed that a sequel to the 1985 film St. Elmo's Fire is in development, with a script currently being written and strong enthusiasm from both the original cast and the studio. Lowe, who played Billy Hicks, highlighted the excitement of revisiting the characters as they face later stages of life, aiming to create a compelling 'last hurrah.' The film, a hallmark of the 'Brat Pack' era, originally starred Demi Moore, Emilio Estevez, Andrew McCarthy, and others, and its cultural legacy remains significant nearly 40 years later. Lowe reminisced about his iconic sweaty saxophone solo, inspired by Clarence Clemons, which became an emblematic 1980s movie moment. The sequel's development is in early stages and depends on producing a strong script, but the cast is eager to participate. Renewed interest in the project has been partly driven by recent documentaries revisiting the Brat Pack phenomenon.
