Everyone Wants a Piece of the Comeback Spotlight

6/30/2008 3:00 PM ET | Filed under: Film Flickers • Z List

This could be good…or really bad!

Molly Ringwald revealed in a recent interview that she would be up for doing a Sixteen Candles sequel.

Ringwald says, "It was something that I definitely wanted to do, but [writer-director] John Hughes wasn't interested, and I didn't feel comfortable doing it without his involvement. If we can get John to agree, I think it would be great. I think there are definitely a lot of people who would love to see it, and I would love to do it."

Perhaps, John Hughes knows what's best. Why mess with a classic?

What are your thoughts?

Do y'all want to see a sequel????

No, like you said leave classics..CLASSICS. remakes or sequels almost never compare to the original.
Amand says – reply to this

YES! But only if you can get not only John Hughes but also the actor who played Jake Ryan, who quit the business in 1990 and is a carpenter somewhere.

no sequel…wtf ?! they're all old now!
hater says – reply to this

13

as much as I'd love to see some sequels to John Hughes' movies, they're probably best left alone.
Think "Gone With The WInd II"
How about if Hughes made some new movies though? Has he done anything recently?

"SORRY, BUT NEEDIE TO ASK….DOES ANYONE THINK PEZIE LOOKS LIKE THE SUN-MAID GIRL???????????????????????"
Jessi says – reply to this

32

I was in 10th grade when this came out. Needless to say, I've seen it 50 times. Funny as hell, I can recite all the lines. I would love to see a sequel if they came out with a script. Don't forget Long Duck Dong and the oily bo-hunk. And Jenny. Muscle relaxed out Jenny. John Huges was brilliant in the 80's. Loved all his movies. Anthony Michael Hall has GOT to be in the sequel, too!

NO!….this first was okay because it was the first….like Wayne's World, no sequel required….
Me says – reply to this

35

What would the concept be? Her married to Jake Ryan or going to a high school reunion and rekindling her romance with Jake??? Unless he's in it I don't think it would work…..he was a hottie!
super says – reply to this

36

hell to the the yeahs!!!
mia says – reply to this

37

NO! Bad idea. I LOVED that movie and to make a sequal would just ruin everything. Sorry Molly can't find a job.
OMG says – reply to this

38

yes, here is the plot.

It's 20 years later, she is divorced, she has two kids that hook in the school for lunch money. Molly returns as the mother, and has herpes, but she can't get a date, as the school is winding up to graduate.

The Geek, who was after Ringwald, is rich and banging playboy playmates, cuz they are all hooker in real life,( come on they are all putas) he decides to recapture how he loved being a geek, now he is a corporate raider that rapes 3rd world countries.

he finally get to bang molly, but gets the herpes, they all laugh at the end, then the geek sues molly for giving him herpes.

It's a sell!!!! want the script, call me. perez, hand out the email.

16 Candles is one of my fave movies of all time. Why *uck with it? A sequel would ruin it!!!!!! Nooooo sequel!
Mama_ says – reply to this

RE: #10- ae: How old are you??? EVERYONE has either seen or knows about 16 Candles - it is an 80's classic. This is a picture of Molly Ringwald - an actress who starred in NUMEROUS 80's films - most of which are poular. Get your head out of your ass and stop talking about things you know nothing about.

45

First!!!! yes!!! I love that movie!!!
manda says – reply to this

46

I love "16 Candles", I'd love to see another movie. Obviously they're not going to do a remake so I don't think "messing with a classic" is really appropriate as they can't put 40 year-olds into 16 year-olds. I'm sure Ringwald just meant that she'd love to get the cast together again and make another feel-good period-piece movie about friends and life's mishaps. I'd love to see it!

NO MORE SEQUELS. For god's sake, can't anyone come up with anything new?

No don't do it. There are some movies that should not be touched mostly all John Hughes movies. Do Not Do Any More!!!!!
Joe says – reply to this

51

no there shouldn't be one. how can she do it? she's old now! I agree with you perez… it's a classic.. leave it alone.

i think it would be great … like her children or something. i was just thinking the other day what a sequel to the breakfast club would be like. to see how they turned out and if their kids were to end up together in school suspension. my neice who is 16 just watched it and it brought me back big time. i loved that movie. could watch both of them over and over again.

Dont make a D list movie from a classic. just cause it was great then doesnt mean it will be great again!
erika says – reply to this

76

as long as john hughes is involved, and they get the oringal cast back.
if they can do that, it would be worth seeing.

I loved the movie, it's a right of passage, I believe, for every teen generation. I am torn about a sequel. They usually suck and where would this go? I would love to see Jake Ryan once again though.

Re: ae – Are you for real? It's a classic. I was 8 when it came out and my nieces who are currently 14 and 15 saw it a few years ago. I suggest you broaden your horizons from Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers and The Hills.

I wonder why they didn't do an immediate sequel. You know to show how the Sam/Jake relationship played out. I have to say 80s movies were the best. They talked about a sequel to About Last Night, but it never materialized:-(

Amanda Bynes Claims Arrest Reports Are "All Lies" - And Cops SLAPPED Her Lady Bits!

Looks like Amanda Bynes is NOT done telling it how she sees it on Twitter!

And this time, she's making some pretty SERIOUS allegations against the officers involved in her Thursday night arrest for drug possession, reckless endangerment, and tampering with evidence!

The troubled starlet took to her social networking page this afternoon to continue denying her legal drama this week, which involved her allegedly smoking pot in her apartment building's lobby and then throwing her bong out the window when police began searching her place, and now, she's asserted that one of the officers at the scene sexually harassed her by "slapping" her VAGINA!

She writes:
