ABC News Studios and Andrew McCarthy announce ‘Brats’ documentary based on the Brat Pack – coming to Hulu. In partnership with NEON and Network Entertainment, “BRATS,” is a new feature-length documentary looking at the iconic films of the 1980s that shaped a generation and the narrative that took hold when their young stars were branded the “Brat Pack.” Andrew McCarthy who starred in the films alongside “Brat” co-stars and friends, Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, Jon Cryer, Lea Thompson, Timothy Hutton, and others, will direct.
McCarthy crisscrosses the country to meet up with some of the stars of those beloved films, including, among others, Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, Jon Cryer, Lea Thompson, Timothy Hutton and key members of the films’ production, including directors, casting directors, screenwriters and producers. He also sits down for a first-time conversation with writer David Blum, who fatefully coined the term Brat Pack in a 1985 New York Magazine cover story. A potent mix of Hollywood fascination, movie history and deeply personal revelations, “BRATS” reveals how the label caused a frenzy and impacted each of them, personally and professionally, in this entertaining, intimate and evocative film. “BRATS” is currently in post-production and slated to stream on Hulu later this year.
