Candles lit again for sequel

Make that 37 candles, please. Molly Ringwald says 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 John Hughes film shot Ringwald to teen stardom but she has not appeared in a major role in many years. She has been appearing in theatre, small TV and film parts and raising a daughter.

Ringwald, 37, said she had been approached repeatedly about doing a sequel but had only recently read a script that she liked.

"I've turned it down for years. I couldn't see how it would work," she said. "Now, it seems right."

Ringwald was reunited over the weekend at the MTV Movie Awards with fellow Breakfast Club cast members.
