Is a spin-off to this John Hughes classic a good idea?
Anthony Michael Hall reacts.
Star of the 1984 hit16 Candles, Anthony Michael Hall has given his approval of Selena Gomez’s15 Candlesspin-off.
You look at the case of Jessica Alba, right?
She’s a woman in Hollywood who’s a producer.
She has a Latino background.
She’s Latina herself.
I think that’s a cool idea.
When I read about it, I thought that would be very cool.
And Selena knows what she’s doing.
Obviously, she’s very savvy businesswoman, right?"
She’s got a hundred million followers.
She’s got a recording career.
She definitely knows what she’s doing.
So I say more power to her.
I think it’s great."
But specifically Latina young girls, too.
I think that’s great.
Honestly, I think that’s a really great idea."
Which by the way, in its intent was multicultural and fun and in good spirits.
That was the thought with ‘Dead Zone’ because it was more specific to the Sci-Fi and drama genre.
So I think that Selena would do a great job with this as long as the humor is there.
That’s a great way into the story for young Latin girls.
And that would hit a wide audience of girls that are not just Latina."
