Just to prove that originality is dead, a Ferris Bueller’s Day Off sequel is coming

For years, as a massive fan of 1986’s Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, I used to hope that someday we’d get a sequel that would catch up with Ferris (Matthew Broderick), Cameron (Alan Ruck) and Sloane (Mia Sara); I always tried to imagine what became of the trio of friends when they left school and got chewed up by the real world.

And briefly when I heard about this, I thought that maybe that was what we were getting and I was slightly optimistic.

But we are not getting that movie. Instead we’re getting a movie called Sam and Victor’s Day Off.

‘Who are Sam and Victor?’ I hear you ask and you may well as they were never named in the original movie.

Sam and Victor are the two guys, played in the original movie by Richard Edson and Larry “Flash” Jenkins, who took Cameron’s car for a joy ride while Ferris, Cameron and Sloane were out enjoying the forbidden fruits of the city. Yes, the guys who worked in the car park.

Don’t recall? Check out the clip below and it might jog your memory.

Ok, so i have been pretty negative so far but there is a ray of sunshine in this totally unforeseen development: it’s from Cobra Kai creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg and Josh Heald with horror movie Bitch Ass’ Bill Posley writing.

Given the events of the movie and where these characters fit in the original story, it’s almost a cert that we will not see Ferris, Cameron or Sloane appear in movie.

That’s all I have guys, make of this what you will.
