Molly Ringwald is not on board for a possible remake of The Breakfast Club.
The 56-year-old actress, who starred as Claire in the iconic 1985 movie, explained why she has reservations about the idea in a recent discussion.
“I personally don’t believe in remaking that movie, because I think this movie is very much of its time. It resonates with people today. I believe in making movies that are inspired by other movies but build on it and represent what’s going on today,” she said during a panel titled 40th anniversary reunion panel for the film at the C2E2 pop culture convention in Chicago.
She then elaborated on why she thinks a new version of the film isn’t what people need today.

“It’s very white, this movie. You don’t see a lot of different ethnicities. We don’t talk about gender. None of that. And I feel like that really doesn’t represent our world today. [I’d] like to see movies that are inspired by The Breakfast Club, but take it in a different direction,” she added.
If you didn’t see, in 2020, another The Breakfast Club star also gave her thoughts about a potential remake.
