There is some discussion, yes. It's kind of early, early stages, but my understanding is that pretty much everyone from the original cast is involved or at least open and interested, you know, that would be really fun. When Andrew McCarthy just made a documentary [“Brats”]I was in New York and I went to the screening and sat on the panel. Ally Sheedy was there and there's something about our shared experience. I haven't seen him in, I don't know, maybe 30 years. And it was crazy. But again, the feeling I had when I saw it was that my heart expanded because I think we were all so young, and it was kind of exciting, this change in our industry, movies being made about things like that. was happening in our lives. So I think it's going to be really fun.
