Anyone who loves 80 movies and was alive during that crazy decade has heard of The Breakfast Club. For those who don't know its a movie about a group of kids who are the embodiment of their peer groups who have to spend the day together in detention at school. You have the jock, the princess, the geek, the weirdo and the rebel. By the end of the day, they form a kinship that is left to the viewers to determine if it lasts beyond the weekend.

Now there is a movie called Bleachers where six students from different social backgrounds (peer groups) are forced to spend a day together in In-School Suspension. Sounds similar, huh? Now, I don't recognize any of the actors in this movie and I've never even heard about it until I was surfing through Imdb.com. (I love that site).

Has anyone else heard about this?

From what I know it still hasn’t been made and the last I heard it was struggling to get backing to financing the movie. Whether that has changed I am not sure because the news on it has been very slim and it’s still classified as in production.

As for the names who had been lined up to appear in it I recognize a few who have been in sitcoms such as Martin Spanjers who was in “8 simple rules” but I can’t see any major star names.

As for the movie well it looks almost like a carbon copy of “The Breakfast Club” and as a fan of the original I can’t say that “Bleachers” appeals. If it ever gets made I can see it being a poor imitation which will most likely head straight to DVD.
