A while ago I posted about the possibility of the movie 32 Candles, purportedly a sequel to the classic ‘80s flick Sixteen Candles. Well, I haven’t heard much about that one recently, but according to stereogum, director John Hughes has announced that Pretty In Pink will have a sequel. The movie is due out next year, and Molly Ringwald, Andrew McCarthy, and John Cryer will reportedly reprise their roles.
I don’t know what to think about this one. The fact that John Hughes and most of the original cast is involved gives me hope, but there is the distinct chance that all this will do is sully the original, as so many other crappy sequels have done in the past…
Update: Apparently this was an elaborate “April Fools” hoax, which I might have figured out had I read the obviously tongue-in-cheek original story instead of the reconstituted version. Oh, and the fact that I read it on April 5th slightly diluted my skepticism as well, although I really should have seen this coming…
