Rob Lowe Says What?! ‘St. Elmo’s Fire’ Sequel Is ON!
- Rob Lowe just gave us the scoop!
- A “St. Elmo’s Fire” sequel is really happening.
- What do the original stars think?
Finally, some news about a movie that’s been living rent-free in our heads! We just saw Rob Lowe spill some major tea on “Watch What Happens Live” on Sunday. And guess what? It’s about a “St. Elmo’s Fire” sequel!
Yes. You read that right. He said it’s “definitely in the works, for sure.” Can you even imagine? That iconic 80s film, with all its moody lighting and those deep, often messy, character studies, getting a new chapter.
We absolutely loved the original’s vibe. That signature blue and pink neon glow, those close-up shots that made you feel right there with them. It had such a distinct aesthetic. The way the light played off their faces during those intense talks? Art.
And here’s the best part: Rob Lowe confirmed that “all of us actors want to do it.” That means the original crew – Emilio Estevez, Demi Moore, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Andrew McCarthy, Mare Winningham, and of course, Lowe himself – are ready to return.
They’re just waiting. For a script draft, he said. It makes you wonder what those characters, who were navigating early adulthood, are up to now. Still friends? Still getting into trouble?
It’s exciting to think about new stories being told! Especially with so much support for film & TV tax credits these days, it really helps get these big projects off the ground. More movies for us!
Our Take
We’re beyond thrilled about this news. “St. Elmo’s Fire” wasn’t just a movie; it was a snapshot of a generation. Seeing those faces again, updated for today, but still holding onto that classic charm? It’s going to be something special. We’re already picturing the poster!
