Actor Andrew McCarthy wrote and directed the feature doc Brats, which is production of ABC News Studios, Neon and Network Entertainment, will debut on Hulu later this year. …
The doc will feature McCarthy — whose Brat Pack credits include Pretty in Pink and Less Than Zero and — interviewing stars like Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, Jon Cryer, Lea Thompson, and Timothy Hutton, among others. Filmmakers will also be featured in the doc, as well as David Blum, who first coined the term Brat Pack in a 1985 New York Magazine cover story.
[Not Molly Ringwald? The inclusion of Timothy Hutton seems odd; he didn’t seem to be part of it at the time, but it’s been nearly 40 years, too. I never did get into the Brat Pack oeuvre, but I’d still be interested in seeing the cultural phenomenon through the eyes of its ‘members.’ IIRC, none of them particularly liked the label at the time. — Ed]
