John Hughes Wrote a Film Inspired by the Cure’s “Lovecats”

A few cast members from 80s classic The Breakfast Club sat down with Vanity Fair’s David Kamp for VF’s March 2010 issue to reminisce about late screenwriter and director John Hughes (via Slicing Up Eyeballs). The cast gives us lots of great bits about Hughes’ love for music (including the Beatles and Bob Dylan), but then Molly Ringwald lets us in on some information about a (lost?) script inspired by the Cure:

When The Breakfast Club ended, he started writing a script called Lovecats, because I played him that song by the Cure, “The Lovecats.” I was obsessed by the Cure—still am. I think Robert Smith is an underrated songwriter. Anyway, I played this song for John, and he started writing a script, and he gave me a mix tape of what the soundtrack was gonna be. Which was pretty much Dave Brubeck, with the last song by Bob Dylan.

The complete feature is here, but VF is also hosting outtakes, Hughes’ short stories, and photographs.
