Alliance snaps up Hughes doc

It's been four years in the making, but it took the untimely death of 1980s teen-flick fabuloso John Hughes to get the film world to take notice of Don't You Forget About Me, a feature-length documentary on the late director of such classics as The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Though it was cool on the film at first, Alliance Films didn't skip a beat in snatching up the world rights in a hand-shake agreement one day after Hughes' death on Aug 6.
