Actor Rob Lowe said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight (ET) published on Monday that a sequel to the iconic film “St. Elmo's Fire” is in the “very early stages of development.”

“We've met with the studio and have been talking about it for about four months,” Lowe revealed to ET, “but it's very, very, very, very early stages. So, we don't know what will happen.”

Lowe explained that the popularity of the recent documentary “Bratz,” which focuses on members of the “Brat Pack,” a group of young actors from the '80s who became a huge part of pop culture, “only created more anticipation for a possible sequel.”

The 1985 film starred many members of the Brat Pack, including Emilio Estevez, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy, as well as Andrew McCarthy, director of the recent Hulu documentary. (RELATED: Andrew McCarthy Explains Molly Ringwald's Absence from New 'Bratz' Documentary).
