SXSW added an addition to the 2015 Film Festival lineup– the world premiere of the restored version of THE BREAKFAST CLUB!

In celebration of the film’s 30th anniversary, we’re incredibly excited for the world premiere the newly remastered version.

According to reports, you can catch the beloved John Hughes’ classic in a new pop of color on Monday, March 16 at the iconic Paramount Theatre in Austin, TX. Cast members Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy will also be in attendance for a special Q&A prior to the screening, so make plans to get to the theatre early.

To attend this special event, register now for a Film, Gold or Platinum badge, and get ready for the onslaught of nostalgia as the crew hits the big screen again.

I have been working as a film journalist since 2010, dividing the first four years between radio broadcasting and entertainment writing in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. In 2014, I entered Fresh Fiction (FreshFiction.tv) as the features editor. The following year, I stepped into the film critic position at the Denton Record-Chronicle, a daily North Texas print publication. My time is dedicated to writing theatrical film reviews, at-home entertainment columns, and conducting interviews with on-screen talent and filmmakers, as well as hosting a podcast devoted to genre filmmaking (called My Bloody Podcast). I've been married for ten happy years, and I have one son who is all about dinosaurs just like his dad.
