\u201cIt resonates with people today. I believe in making movies that are inspired by other movies but build on it and represent what\u2019s going on today. This is very, you know, it\u2019s very white, this movie. You don\u2019t see a lot of different ethnicities. We don\u2019t talk about gender. None of that. And I feel like that really doesn\u2019t represent our world today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\nMolly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy at the \u2018Don\u2019t You Forget About Me: The Breakfast Club 40th Reunion\u2019 in Chicago in April 2025Credit: Barry Brecheisen\/WireImage<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
