Rob Lowe says “St. Elmo's Fire” sequel is in 'very, very early stages' of development

"We've met with the studio and I have been talking about doing it for about four months."

Rob Lowe is looking back at his Brat Pack days, and is considering a follow-up. In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, Lowe confirms he is involved in working on a sequel to St. Elmo's Fire, the 1985 classic of the Brat Pack era.

"We've met with the studio and I have been talking about doing it for about four months," Lowe told ET. But he added a note of caution: "It's very, very, very, very, very early stages. So we will see."

Directed by the late Joel Schumacher, St. Elmo's Fire starred Lowe and other members of the Brat Pack — including Emilio Estevez, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, and Ally Sheedy — as recent Georgetown University graduates struggling to figure out their post-university adult lives. Along with The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles, it remains one of the classic "teen movies" of the '80s.

The Brat Pack phenomenon was the focus of the recent documentary, Brats, directed by McCarthy. Estevez, Lowe, and Nelson were the centerpiece of the original New York Magazine article“Hollywood’s Brat Pack,” which sparked the moniker that seemingly haunted many of the young '80s actors. In the documentary, McCarthy caught up with several Brat Pack members who starred in St. Elmo's Fire, including Lowe.

For Lowe, St. Elmo's Fire also remains a career high point, at least in terms of his appearance. In a recent interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, Lowe's son John Owen Lowe (with whom he costars in the Netflix series Unstable) said that he wants to watch St. Elmo's Fire to make his dad proud, because "that's when he thinks he looked the best."

Currently, Lowe's focus is on promoting season 2 of Unstable, which hits Netflix on Aug. 1. He and his son have struggled a bit working side-by-side, as the younger Lowe recently admitted in a different interview with Cohen.

"Like two weeks into filming the first season, I had a legitimate little mental breakdown," John Owen told Cohen. "Like, I walked off set, and I went into my trailer, and I went ‘Oh, s---.’ I was trying to become my own person and get distance away from him, and I am now his costar. My face is next to his on a one-sheet, and I will be doing press with him. It was like all these realizations dawned on me."

Lowe, for his part, has also called the experience of making Unstable "painful" at times.
