Molly Ringwald Mulls 'Sixteen Candles' Sequel - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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.

Sixteen Candles is one of my favorite movies of all time, but I can't see a sequel working, all these many years later...

It's my favorite too, but after all these years I don't know how a sequel would work. They're doing Lost Boys so anything is possible.

Gee they are re-making everything!!

I think Molly needs to leave this one alone. If she waited YEARS, and kept saying NO, there is a reason why.

First, another remake of the Wizard of Oz and now this???? How many remakes must we suffer through?

WHAT HAPPENED TO ORIGINALITY PEOPLE?

Mikey, I loved your list above!

coffield3 · 08-27-2007, 06:11 PM

Not until they start making the remakes, while the originals are still in the theatre
