NBC is plotting a modern remake of 1985's St. Elmo's Fire and has handed out a script sale for the new take on the 1985 Brat Pack feature
St. Elmo's FireThe potential series is described as a modern adaptation of the Joel Schumacher-directed film that showcased a group of close friends struggling with career, commitment and the responsibilities of adulthood.
Josh Berman is on board to pen the script and executive produce via his Osprey Productions banner. Chris King will also be an EP. The drama hails from indie studio Sony Pictures Television, whose film arm, Columbia Pictures, distributed the original pic. This is the second time Sony has attempted to reboot the film. The studio first tried to do a that found Schumacher, Topher Grace, Dan Bucatinsky and Jamie Tarses attached, with Bucatinsky set to pen the script. That project, which landed at ABC after a bidding war, used the movie as a jumping-off point to introduce six new friends.
The original film starred Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy and Mare Winningham and revolved around a group of Georgetown University graduates as they adjusted to life and adulthood after college. Produced for a budget of $10 million,grossed $37.8 million domestically. Schumacher wrote and helmed the feature, which was produced by Lauren Shuler Donner.
The project is among the early script orders to emerge as this development season has gotten off to another slow start. The big difference this season is that the networks are dealing directly with writers and studios and without agencies as the WGA and ATA continue their ongoing battle over packaging fees and affiliated studios.
