Well, heres what I have come up with so far. Feedback please:
The Breakfast Club (2008)
written by
Jay Miller
Characters: Main:
Andy Clark- Typical jock, captain of the football and wrestlng team.
Brian Johnson- Typical nerdy kid. Obviously the brain of the group, yet also obviously disturbed by many things going on in his life and in his mind. Throughout the movie he tries to seek the exceptence of others.
Lamont Bender- Sterotypical minority thug on the outside, throughout the movie the kid on the inside slowly shows through. The troublemaker/rebel of the group.
Claire Standish- Prom queen type preppy girl. The popular girl in school, very stuck uo throughout the begining of the movie.
Allen Reynold- Typical emo/goth kid. Very quiet and in a shell throughout the movie. Oddball of the group. Obviously a lot of things are wrong with this character that slowly build up during the movie.
Notable Changes:
Bender has went from a white rebel to a black thug in this version. Same character traits apply, just made modern.
Allison from the 1984 version has been changed to a male character. All other traits still apply.
Brian who stays pretty much the same from the 1984 version, only major change is the focus on his sexuality.
The principal has been changed from a male to femal character.
BLANK SCREEN:
Against Black, TITLE CARD:
"...and these children that you spit on,
as they try to change their worlds are
immune to your consultations. They're
quite aware of what they're going through...

The Blank Screen and Title Card SHATTER to reveal...
1. EXT. SHERMER HIGH SCHOOL - DAY
During Brian's monologue, we see various views of things
inside the school including Bender's locker.
BRIAN (VO)
Saturday...March 24, 2008. Shermer
High School, Shermer, Illinois.
60062. Dear Mrs. Vernon...we accept
the fact that we had to sacrifice a
whole Saturday in detention for
whatever it was that we did wrong,
what we did was wrong. But we think
you're crazy to make us write this
essay telling you who we think we
are, what do you care? You see us
as you want to see us...in the
simplest terms and the most
convenient definitions. You see us
as a brain, an athelete, a basket
case, a princess and a criminal.
Correct? That's the way we saw each
other at seven o'clock this morning, before we had to live through what we did today. Within these nine hours we have dealt with life, as so many people never could. We’ve handled hate, racism, sterotypes and death...
CUT TO:
2. INT. CLAIRE'S CAR - DAY
We see CLAIRE and her FATHER sitting in their car in the
parking lot.
Claire is the prom queen and is clearly a snob.
CLAIRE
I can't believe you can't get me
out of this...I mean it's so absurd
I have to be here on a Saturday!
It's not like I'm the typical person you would find in this place
CLAIRE'S FATHER
I'll make it up to you...Honey,
ditching class to go shopping
doesn't make you a bad student. Have
a good day.
Claire rolls her eyes and gets out of the car and walks
up the school front steps
CUT TO:
3. INT. BRIAN'S CAR - DAY
We are in BRIAN's car. His MOTHER is there and so is
his little SISTER. He is sort of a nerd.
BRIAN'S MOTHER
I can’t believe after all me and your dad have sacrificed you would end up like all these other deliquents, so is this the first time you sit in there or the last?
BRIAN
(upset)
Last...
BRIAN'S MOTHER
Well get in there and use the time
to your advantage...
BRIAN
Mom, we're not supposed to study; we
just have to sit there and do
nothing.
BRIAN'S MOTHER
Well mister you figure out a way to
study.
BRIAN'S LITTLE SISTER
(annoyingly)
Yeah!
BRIAN'S MOTHER
Well go!
Brian gets out of the car and walks towards the school.
CUT TO:
4. INT. ANDREW'S CAR - DAY
We see ANDREW and his FATHER. Andrew is clearly a jock;
he’s wearing a letterman’s jacket with lots of patches on it.
ANDREW'S FATHER
Hey, I screwed around...guys screw
around, there's nothing wrong with
that. Except you got caught, Sport.
ANDREW
Yeah, Mom already reemed me, alright?
ANDREW'S FATHER
(angry)
You wanna
up what you’ve worked so hard for, you wanna be a loser your whole life>
Andrew gets out of the car and walks into the school.
CUT TO:
5. EXT. SHERMER PARKING LOT - DAY
We see a car pull up with rap music blaring and smoke coming out of the windows it stops infront of the school, and Lamont Bender steps out. He takes a hit of the joint and passes it back into the car then walks away. He walks infront of another car and does not stop.
The car slams on its breaks directly in front of him.
Bender gets out of the frame. Out of the car steps
Allen. He is dressed all in black. He steps
forward to look in the car's front window and the car
drives away.
