Molly Ringwald wants writer/director John Hughes to
create a sequel to her '80s teen classic Sixteen Candles.
The actress feels it would only work with Hughes (who most recently wrote Drillbit Taylor) on board. The last film he directed was Curly Sue in 1991.
"It was something that I definitely wanted to do but John Hughes wasn't interested, and I didn't feel comfortable doing it without his involvement," Ringwald told AOL TV.
"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."
In the original film Ringwald played Sam Baker a young angst-ridden girl dealing with her sixteenth birthday. If she reprised the role, it could perhaps focus on her 40th birthday as that's the actresses' age.
Ringwald added: "I think that Sixteen Candles lends itself to [another film]. It was such a Cinderella story. And I was interested to see what happened to this girl."
