Will It Be 37 Candles?

(From The Hartford Courant)

Could it be time to put more candles on the cake or throw it away?

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 JOHN HUGHES film shot Ringwald to teen stardom, but she has not 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 11/2.

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 Saturday. "Now, it seems right."
