Stop us if you've heard this one before: Five people, each from different walks of life, are forced into close quarters...and they walk away friends.
If you think the above sentence reads like the premise behind a certain mid-'80s John Hughes film about a certain club named after a certain early-morning meal, then you're not alone -- in fact, you're right where Bridget Johnson, producer of Bumped, wants you.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bumped -- which "McG protege" Anna Mastro is set to direct from a script by Lizzy Weiss (Blue Crush) -- is being described as "a modern-day version of The Breakfast Club." Observe:
"Bumped" is a comedy-drama revolving around five twentysomethings -- including a corporate go-getter, a musician and a flirt -- who normally wouldn't be friends but who get to know one another when they're bumped from a flight and wind up stranded at Chicago's O'Hare Airport.
The Reporter says Bumped will mark Mastro's directorial debut; her previous credits include working alongside McG on Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and Stay Alive, as well as developing and producing CW's Pussycat Dolls series.
