Joan Cusack was on Good Day Live earlier. During the interview, Jillian commented that she was good in it. Joan told her they're remaking it. Jillian said the same thing i'm sure will be said here..
They shouldn't touch those John Hughes movies..

Yahoo! News - "Sixteen Candles," 16 Years Later

Sixteen Candles has been granted a birthday wish--a sequel.
Pull out the yearbooks, throw on the varsity letter jackets--it's high school reunion time for the gang from the 1984 John Hughes comedy.
32 Candles will update the lives of Sam Baker, Farmer Ted, Long Duk Dong and the rest of the gang.
"Our goal is to pay homage to as many of the original characters as possible," David A. Newman, one of the writers chosen to pen the update, tells Variety. "Who wouldn't want to write this?"
The original film was based around Samantha Baker's (Molly Ringwald) 16th birthday, a day that went unobserved by her family. The made-for-television special will pick up the story around Sam's 32nd birthday.
Keith Merryman, the other writer on the project, called Sixteen Candles "a film that anyone who's Gen X on down has seen a hundred times. It's like a comfort film."
So far, no word on whether the original cast will be approached for the sequel. Ringwald's manager had no comment on the project.
The special lies in the hands of USA Network. Anthony Michael Hall, Sam's nerdy admirer, Ted, in the first flick, has current ties with the network--he stars in their series The Dead Zone.
The original film also featured John Cusack, Joan Cusack and Edward Andrews.
Buffy Shutt and Kathy Jones, producers of the 2002 surf-pop flick Blue Crush, will shoulder the responsibility of producing 32 Candles, along with Ken Holden.
It's not a task they take lightly. "We're all so concerned about getting it right, because it's such a beloved property," Jones tells Variety.

I thought I read that they making a sequel called 32 Candles, which followed up the lives of characters from the first flick...perhaps they're doing both? (link found at Fark.com)

:p I remembered it cuz a friend sent that link to me yesterday.
Personally, I think a follow-up to Breakfast Club would be much better, though I guess it would just be a rehash of About Last Night.

Without the original cast, it's a big waste of time. Still, I would rather have it left alone. There's no need for a remake or a continuation. The movie was about teenage angst, 80's style. They aren't teenagers, and this isn't the 80's, so what's the point?
No, John Hughes' movies hold a tender spot for those who grew with them in the 80's - leave them alone!

Yeah without Hughes working on it, what is the point? As far as getting back the original cast, I know for DAMN sure they won't be able to afford John "Bryce" Cusack's paycheck, and I believe Michael Schoeffling basically retired after Mermaids to make hand-crafted furniture or something.

Ringwald Mulls 'Sixteen Candles' Sequel
LOS ANGELES - 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.

“In a world that has kept continuity…A thirty two year old man inherits a home by the most inauspicious means. [shaky close-ups of parents and siblings, cowering, imploring and screaming] “Now, trapped in a dwelling that seems to shrink with every second that his body grows. [A hand reaches the highest cupboard; feet planted firmly on the ground with no stepladder] “But, left alone he must deal with a third set of strangers.” [SWAT teams deploy into tactical positions as helicopters lumber into frame.]
“Alone again, Kevin has to take out the trash!” [32 year old Kevin drops a bulky Hefty bag and bloody hacksaw. Hilarious antics ensue, involving blunt trauma, fire traps, sling traps, battery acid traps and night vision circumvention.]
“Kevin didn’t count on this, but he was ready from birth!”
[Thirty two year old man, with palms to cheeks (blood spattered) screams defiantly as SWAT troops dragging wounded try to evac. Helicopter pilots, in panic, take off with people still dangling from the skids.]

While any reason to re-visit the "Donger" is indeed a good, no, great I dea, I would rather re-watch the original with my joys intact than see all these actors in present day, attempting re-create the "Magic". Their gonna do this anyway but, It sure looks like it's gonna be bad.

God, I hope it's better than that Romy and Michelle TV movie that was on a few weeks back.
Loved the original! Why do a followup unless Everyone including Hughes is involved??? Why?????

Well, she finally showed her boobs in a movie. She did a TV series. Beyond that, I'd say she ate, slept, watched some television, went to the bathroom a few times...you know, things people do.

Personally, I would have cited Fatal Attraction as the "inspiration" for Malicious and Poison Ivy.
