Ferris Bueller wasn’t the one one to take a time off. (Apparently.)
Virtually 40 years after the long-lasting ’80s teen hero appeared in John Hughes’ Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, the movie is getting a derivative. My first assumption once I heard that information was that somebody had satisfied Matthew Broderick to reprise his function as Ferris for some type of legacyquel a couple of middle-aged Bueller (“Bueller…? Bueller?”) coping with his personal teenage kids, an idea that somebody has to have pitched round Hollywood sooner or later.
As a substitute, through Deadline, we’re getting one thing referred to as Sam and Victor’s Day Off, in regards to the two valets who parked Cameron’s dad’s priceless Ferrari and took it for an unimaginable pleasure journey round Chicago. Per their report, “Sam and Victor’s Day Off will comply with the same-day journey of the titular valets who took the Ferrari on a pleasure journey within the Matthew Broderick-starrer. Within the unique movie, the valet attendants weren’t given official names. They had been performed by Richard Edson and Larry “Flash” Jenkins, who died in 2019.”
If you happen to don’t recall that scene, right here’s a clip…
The challenge is being written by the creators of the hit Karate Child spinoff/sequel collection Cobra Kai, Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald. They definitely know a factor or two about taking ’80s classics and updating them for a contemporary viewers.
Nonetheless, this isn’t essentially an replace; it’s a interval piece (effectively, now it’s) set on the identical day as Ferris Bueller all about these two characters getting their very own journey. It’s like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Lifeless, solely they’re not useless, they usually’re tooling round city in a Ferrari.
I can’t say I’ve ever had a lot curiosity about these characters’ day past what we see within the film, however folks do love Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Anyway, prepare to listen to “Oh Yeah” by Yello about 60 million extra occasions.
