St. Elmo's Fire To Be ABC TV Show

The seminal brat pack film that made some of the 1980s biggest stars is coming to a television set near you. Though not a John Hughes, this seems especially timely in light of the director's recent death.

The 1985 film might have been about a recently-graduated group of Georgetown co-eds, but it was inspired by a crop of Dukies and penned by Duke alum Carl Kurlander, who has been working tirelessly to promote his semi-autobiographic documentary about Pittsburgh, My Tale of Two Cities. You can read more about the TV show (which will probably pick up with the Georgetown setting though seeing the Bull City on primetime TV would be a hoot--Shooters II, anyone?) over at The Hollywood Reporter.
