Get immersed in the recent C2E2 2025 in Chicago with our full recap of the weekend, our Main Stage panel videos, best cosplay photos, and more. And if you want to do it all again next year, we've got the dates for C2E2 2026, too.

When it comes to movie posters, it doesn’t get more iconic than The Breakfast Club. Who can ever forget Annie Leibovitz’s iconic shot of John Hughes’s iconic Brat Pack looking mean, moody, and magnificent?

The influential movie poster has been homaged many times, including a notable tribute from Sony Pictures for Spider-Man: Homecoming.

It turns out the iconic poster almost looked different. In fact, it nearly included the director. “There were more that they shot,” Judd Nelson said at the Breakfast Club reunion panel at C2E2 2025. “There were some by the lockers,” Molly Ringwald added.  

 “Some against the lockers. Some in a circle,” Nelson continued. “Some standing in a line. And some of them John [Hughes] was in with us. There was some cool shots that John was in with us.”

Looking at the legacy of the poster, there’s no arguing that they picked the right one. However, Annie Leibovitz is a superb photographer, and the Breakfast Club cast are great subjects, so I’m sure all the photographs were just as stunning. It would be great to see all the unused photos some day.
