Ringwald Urges Fresh Takes on Hughes Classics, Not Remakes

Molly Ringwald says John Hughes wouldn’t want his films remade and they can’t be remade without his permission, which he reportedly didn’t grant; she believes remakes aren’t appropriate and would prefer new interpretations that address today’s issues, with The Breakfast Club seen as the most relevant Hughes work. Ringwald shared these thoughts at Sundance while promoting Run Amok.
