Director plans 'Pretty In Pink' sequel
Saturday, April 2 2005, 15:27 BST -- by Daniel Kilkelly
Director John Hughes has announced that classic '80s movie Pretty In Pink is to get a sequel.The teen film followed high school student Andie, who developed a crush on the school's new guy, while her friend Duckie, who secretly loves Andie, is forced to step aside.
The sequel, which is planned for a 2006 release, will show fans what has changed for the characters now that their high school days are over. The movie's original stars - Molly Ringwald, Andrew McCarthy and John Cryer - have all agreed to appear.
I find this exciting and difficult to believe, at the very same time.
but I think I'll enjoy the possibility, for now.

Please, PLEASE, let Duckie be living the good life, while Andie and Blane are broke, bitter and aging poorly!
Is the hot older woman who played Andie's best friend going to be in it?

While I hope Duckie is living the good life, there are things about the original movie that always irked me.
The biggest: some of Molly's designs looked pretty good. Why oh why did she then make that horrible pink THING and wear it to the prom?

I fully expected the date on that article to be 4/1/2005.
Dear lord, help us if it's true.
And FYI, Blondie, that 'hot older woman' was Annie Potts, also seen in Ghostbusters, Jumpin' Jack Flash, and the campy as hell Pass the Ammo (with Tim Curry). I always had a thing for her.
What would be really cool is if they get Andrew 'Dice' Clay back, too ;-)
