In a day and age where original ideas don’t make money, studios aren’t willing to take a chance on anything that hasn’t been proven to rake in cash. Now we are in for, yet another, revisiting of an old classic.
A sequel to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off has been confirmed to E! News by Paramount Pictures. However, we won’t see Matthew Broderick or Alan Ruck come back to portray their classic roles.
Instead, we will see the movie titled ‘Sam and Victor’s Day Off,’ center around two valets who took Cameron’s (Ruck) father’s Ferrari for a joyride down the heart of Chicago.
In the original film, the valets were nameless boys who drove Cameron crazy by totaling a high number of miles on Cameron’s father’s vehicle. Cameron and Ferris (Broderick) tried to undo all the miles on the vehicle by putting the car in reverse. However, Cameron got so mad he kicked the car into the glass garage in the woods.
Jon Herwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald, who are the producers of Netflix’s Cobra Kai, now are curious to find out what the boys did to rack up so many miles. Herwitz took to Twitter to tease what the fellas could have been up to.
“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off was epic. But the valets who stole Cameron’s dad’s car had a pretty insane day too. It’s time for their story to be told.”
Director John Hughes originally hoped the cast could come back to reunite, but it seems that idea was never going to happen. Ruck originally stated that Hughes pitched the idea of having Ferris go to college.
Ruck then mentioned some of his own personal ideas for Ferris and Cameron’s future tale. It ends with the boys growing old and living in a nursing home.
“I always thought they should wait until Matthew and I are in our seventies. Cameron’s in a nursing home, and Ferris comes and breaks him out!”
Paramount has not yet set a release date for the sequel. Currently, Netflix is airing “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” We’ll have to see how this movie turns out.
