It’s been nearly four decades since the iconic film ‘St. Elmo’s Fire’ graced the big screen, and now Rob Lowe is dropping hints about a potential sequel. In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight, Rob revealed that discussions about a follow-up to the 1985 cult classic have been ongoing for months. The recent buzz surrounding the ‘Brats’ documentary, which delves into the era of the Brat Pack, has only fueled speculation about a new installment. However, Rob was quick to caution fans that the project is still in its early stages of development, with no concrete plans in place just yet.
The original film, starring Rob Lowe alongside Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Andrew McCarthy, Emilio Estevez, and Ally Sheedy, followed the lives of seven friends navigating through post-collegiate challenges. While Rob and his son, John Owen Lowe, may not have watched ‘St. Elmo’s Fire’ together, they have been collaborating on their Netflix comedy series ‘Unstable.’ The father-son duo brings a unique dynamic to the show, drawing on their own real-life relationship for inspiration.
As Rob and John Owen gear up for the premiere of ‘Unstable’ season 2 on Netflix, fans can’t help but wonder if a ‘St. Elmo’s Fire’ sequel could be on the horizon. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting possibility!
