Scoop Feedback:
October 20, 1996... On radio station 94/WYSP (in lovely Philadelphia), this CA reader heard a sound bite mentioning that a Pretty in Pink sequel is being considered. The four principal actors, James Spader, Molly Ringwald, Andrew McCarthy and John Cryer are supposed to be involved with the project in some capacity. The alleged storyline will be more jaded and moody in tone, focusing upon Spader's now-adult character being involved with high-finance business. During the course of the story, Spader must make a decision that will have a severe impact upon Ringwald and McCarthy.

November 5, 1996... This anonymous reporter only heard of the involvement of Spader and McCarthy so far. John Hughes is not involved with the project. Spader's charcter Steff would be shown ten years later as a "corporate raider/womanizer/asshole." [Scoop submitted anonymously.]
January 1, 1997... There seems to be a script floating around for this film with the sub-title 'Ides of March.' It refers to a deadline of March 15 on which Steff (Spader) plans to shutdown the business that Blaine's (McCarthy) family had built up and provided him with his affluent yuppie lifestyle. The script also has Harry Dean Stanton's character suffering a stroke, adding to the financial drama of the family. And yes, Ducky makes a return appearance as a nightclub owner offering moral (but not financial support) to the downtrodden Molly and Andrew. [Scoop sent in by 'Caesar'.]
