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.

You Said

Since John Hughes is recycling an '80s classic I'll recycle another one: Just Say No!

The movie is a classic, but I simply can't imagine how a sequel 20 years later will be anywhere near as good and charming. John Hughes makes great coming of age movies. They've already aged!

Boy, I am really suprised that the three leading stars could fit this project into their hectic schedules.

Well, we already know that Ducky is now a divorced chiropractor, living with his brother, Boy In Police Station from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

While it's nice to see my high school buddy Andrew McCarthy get work, I can't imagine why anyone would want to see this movie.

This is nice and all, but I'm still waiting to see what happened to the gang from The Breakfast Club.
