'Bumped' is Not 'Breakfast' at the Airport…
...it's 'Unaccompanied Minors 2: All Growed Up'
 |
The Hollywood Reporter has up a story announcing the production of a new film called Bumped proclaiming it to be a modern-day version of The Breakfast Club set in an airport as five strangers get stranded in Chicago's O'Hare Airport after they're bumped from a flight. Unfortunately, it sounds to me like the producers are simply using The Breakfast Club to scare up interest when in fact all this sounds like is a sequel to the shitty 2006 kids flick Unaccompanied Minors in which five kids are stuck in a midwestern airport after being snowed in. Either way, it isn't exactly new territory we are venturing into here.
The storyline from THR says the film is a comedy-drama revolving around five twentysomethings — including a corporate go-getter, a musician and a flirt — who normally wouldn't be friends but who get to know one another when they're bumped from a flight and wind up stranded at Chicago's O'Hare Airport. Anna Mastro is set to direct from a script by Lizzy Weiss.
Apparently Mastro is a protege of McG's (Charlie Angels: Full Throttle helmer) and produced the CW's "Pussycat Dolls" series and, like McG, shot music videos. This little bit of news also doesn't bode well for the production.
