The film earned $40.5 million during its theatrical run, placing it as the 22nd highest grossing film of the year. While many critics were tired of the plot, which focused on the drama surrounding cliques in high school, they still found the writing to be witty and sentimental. Furthermore, even the harshest of critics couldn’t deny that the stellar cast brought fresh life to the age-old plot.
Today, Pretty in Pink is still so popular that it was re-released by Paramount Pictures just in time for Valentine’s Day. While the fashion and lingo of the film may be cemented in the 1980s, even the younger generation of today can still see themselves in the film’s characters. While a lot of teenage drama has transitioned to technology, social castes and cliques remain very much the same.
The film was written and co-executive produced by John Hughes, who, by the mid 1980s, was already well known for his work on Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, among a variety of other films. Hughes had already established himself as the dominating force of high school and coming of age films in the industry. However, despite his close ties to the Brat Pack, he left the casting of Pretty in Pink up to director Howard Deutch.
Pretty in Pink was the first film that Howard Deutch would ever direct, and while he had plenty of misgivings going into this high pressure new career, the ultimate success of the film would greatly affect his career.
Despite an impressive filmography, Pretty in Pink still remains one of the crowning film achievements of his career, and it’s no wonder! This cult classic has garnered attention from audience members for decades, largely in part to its wonderful cast. But did you know that the cast for Pretty in Pink almost looked very different?
In today’s video, we’re going to take a look at how Howard Deutch almost cast some very different actors for the beloved characters we know today. Make sure you stick around, because we’re going to reveal which other actress nearly replaced Molly Ringwald as the film’s lead actress!
