'80s Classic Weird Science Celebrates 40th Anniversary with Cast Reunion

News summary

The iconic 1985 film Weird Science is celebrating its 40th anniversary, with stars like Judie Aronson and Anthony Michael Hall reflecting fondly on their experiences and ongoing friendships formed during filming. Aronson expressed pride in the film's lasting legacy and the continued camaraderie among the cast, noting they still keep in touch and share anniversary wishes. The movie, a playful look at adolescent hormones and early computer technology, remains a beloved '80s classic, known for its humor and memorable characters, including Kelly LeBrock's role as the dream girl created by two teenage boys. Though considered lighter and sillier compared to John Hughes' other works like The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink, Weird Science shares connections with those films, including the fictional Shermer High School setting and reused footage. The original high school filming location, Niles East High School in Skokie, Illinois, has since been demolished, adding to the nostalgia surrounding the film. Fans continue to celebrate Weird Science for its unique blend of '80s culture, humor, and enduring appeal across generations.
