Why not? I'd like to hear your comments and suggestions on a follow-up! Casting would be no problem since Matthew Broderick is the next Dick Clark. Would there be another road trip? Is Ferris in college or working in downtown Chicago? E-mail me your best storyline and I'll post and send a summary to Paramount.
Ferris does indeed work downtown...now he's a lawyer in bev hills, tons of responsibility...but Cameron, who did in fact marry the first woman he laid, and the second, and the third...is back, and looking for a good time...he hijacks Ferris for a day, a day which Ferris had set aside to spend with his nerdy/geeky/dorky kid, whom he never sees...due to work...he realizes, through a day of madcap fun and hijinx, that he has lost his former 'coolness' and at the same time his kid (boy or girl...I don't think that would matter much) realizes how much he/she can have in school. During the day, we see a dual transformation of both Ferris and his kid.
I'm not sure making a sequel would be the best idea. This is, in the history of movies, the greatest movie that I ever saw, and as much as I'd like to see Ferris again, this movie had a certain one-time quality to it. Perhaps that is from the whole eighties look, which would certainly be lost with a sequel. It was his BIG DAY OFF, and reproducing it might cheapen that. If I were to support anyone's idea, it would be Greg Duryea's, I really liked the idea of Sloane leaving Ferris for Charlie Sheen's character...
I think that ferris should be working in hollywood as an actor trying to make it with Cameron, a big shot lawyer or something, and ferris should mooch off of Cameron and drive him crazy.
I don't like the idea of a second Ferris Bueller at all. That is my favorite movie of all time and I think a sequel could only hurt the original. BAD IDEA!!!
I think Ferris would have gone to a good college in Illinois, like Northwestern. He didn't attend grad school but he started a computer/software corporation, which was an instant success. He married Sloane, who is now a high school teacher, and they are expecting twins, a boy and a girl. Cameron, after killing the car and standing up to his father, was thrown out in the streets. He was taken in by the Bueller's and was forced to marry Jeanie. He had no college education, and is now working in the mail room at Ferris' company. Jeanie is now a big shot lawyer and bosses poor Cameron around constantly. Ferris feels guilty about screwing up Cameron's life and over the past 5 years has tried to get Cameron in advertising or in some other part of the company, but it has never worked out.
No way they'll do a sequel, since they always pale in comparison to the first one anyway. If they did though, it would be cool to see Ferris as the new Sausage King of Chicago, or something close.
Ferris is now a dean at a high school and uses his expertise on ditching to make life hell for the new students. One student, however (who's very popular, and both with the geeks, drugheads, footballers, etc), is too smart for him, and he gets a taste of his own medicine, basically ending up like Rooney even though he thought he had everything figured out. Then, at the end, he realizes that he's become his worst nightmare, a responsible adult who doesn't understand teenagers, and he makes a U-turn, becoming the best pal of the new ditch champ!
Ferris is now a teacher in the same high school he went to. Rooney's still principal and still hates Ferris. His life sucks: he didn't end up marrying Sloane he ended up with this other chick. He just got divorced from her, and he's really tight. But someone in his class makes him remember the way that he used to be, and he decides it's time to take the day off. He calls up Cameron and Sloane good times the whole day, marries Sloane in the end. Through the day Rooney's trying to catch Ferris cuz he hates him and wants him fired. But he doesn't.
Ferris and Cameron are both working downtown Chicago in the same office (where they are both writers they sell ideas for various things, mag, products, and so on). where they've been working for the last 3-5 years. Ferris is Cameron's superior, Ferris has become a little more out of touch with the idea of having fun. It's a job which that once inspired so many ideas, but now has become more of a job. Cameron asks Ferris did you hear who is getting married next week (Sloan's sister, or best friend whatever works best) and hears that Sloane will be flying in for it the day before,(ferris and Sloane broke after Ferris graduated he went to college out of state, and she moved somewhere else senior year. So they lost touch, So ferris decides to spend the day with her. they are kind of Awkward at each other at ferris, and she mentions a boyfriend who couldn't make it. Ferris her and Cameron and his wife end up spending the day in Chicago all over, by the day of the wedding ferris and Sloane become very tight, and she ends up moving in with ferris, take it from there. but you get the idea. ps. die hard Ferris Bueller fanferris is supposed to write an article about life or living in Chicago, and is uninspired untill his day with Sloane, it turns out to be his best work, and ferris asks her again do you want to get married today, and this time she says yes
It is my favorite movie, but a sequel should be out of the question. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is such an important movie for teenagers to see, it has become like a Casablanca for us. And you didn't see them make a sequel to Casablanca...
He's a fry-cook on Venus, duh!!
The reason that Ferris rules...is that it is based in such a cool concept...relationship that matters! that is what makes Ferris the best...he cares about Cameron so much that he is willing to risk a 9th sick day and the rest of his life for his friend...that is the concept that a sequel would have to have...his willing ness to risk everything for a friend...one that was not on top of things or as cool as he is. The sequel would have to be different very different or it wouldn't work..his son perhaps...12 years old...has a friend that is the school dud...Ferris has to risk his entire future on the kid...for his son...because he loves his son...and the son loves his best friend...it has to be comedic....and fast paced...involving a couple of USA cities..Orlando and L.A.? Houston and Boise? D.C. and NYC? yeah...the latter is good...DC and NYC...trains or flights involved...Ferris' work and family may be involved...NO Ed Rooney...No Cameron...No high school...perhaps Ed Rooney has a grandson who is the kid that is the best friend...and it is Ed's daughter's kid...so we don't know that til later on in the movie...maybe
