Sixteen Candles sequel?

Movies Forum

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Could it be time to put more candles on the cake?

Molly Ringwald said she's in discussions to make a sequel to "Sixteen Candles," the 1984 movie about the obstacles and embarrassments a teen girl faces on her birthday.

The film, directed by John Hughes, shot Ringwald to teen stardom, but she hasn't appeared in a major role in many years. She said she's been appearing in theater, small TV and film parts and raising a daughter, now 18 months old.

Ringwald, 37, said she had been approached repeatedly about doing a sequel, but recently read a script that she liked and wanted to star in the movie.

"I've turned it down for years. I couldn't see how it would work," she said. "Now, it seems right."

Ringwald was reunited at the MTV Movie Awards on Saturday with Anthony Michael Hall, Ally Sheedy and Paul Gleason, three of her co-stars in 1985's "The Breakfast Club," directed by John Hughes.

Judd Nelson and Emilio Estevez didn't show.

"They're in Africa with Dave Chappelle," Hall joked.

I love that movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would totally go see a sequel.
I wonder if it will be a high school reunion type of movie.

This is one of those things that you sit around and talk to your friends about over a few drinks. As for actually doing it...

-HECK!

I would LOVE it if they actually DID this... but, I'm NOT holding my breath. There has been talk about doing so many different sequels, and they never take place.

By the time it comes out they'll have to call it 'Forty-seven Candles'.

-HECK!

It was just so long ago... like every few years when I hear talk about a sequel to 'The Goonies.' It's a matter of an idea being fun, but way too late and not that good of an idea to begin with.

Like that Blues Brothers sequel a few year back. Horrible.

-HECK!
