Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Spin-Off in the works from Cobra Kai creators

[Captain Tired]

Can we also get spin-offs of the janitor from The Breakfast Club and the two Agent Johnsons from Die Hard and Willard in Footloose and

A spin-off about the Johnsons over in ****ing Saigon, eh slick?!

 

[Pennywise]

How about a spin off about Charlie Sheen’s character or Cameron’s unseen father?

If there's a Die Hard character that deserves a spin-off, it's this guy

Wonder who they’ll cast as the valets?

LOL that is really solid casting

Cameron's dad had to be some type of Chicago drug baron with a house like that. I'd totally watch that show.

I’d be down if that ever happened, but that seems really unlikely!

It would still be unnecessary, but I’d watch.

Cobra Kai Creators Reveal Ferris Bueller Spinoff Movie Details

Are you approaching your “Ferris Bueller” spinoff in a similar way to making “Cobra Kai” after “Karate Kid”?

Hurwitz: We are children of the ’80s. When we talk about the seminal movie experiences of our lives, there’s a five-year period from ’83 to ’88, where a lot of those movies fall for us. “Ferris Bueller” was such a moment in our lives. We love side journeys. In “Ferris Bueller,” there’s this great wish fulfillment happening with these two valets, who take this amazing Ferrari on the ultimate joyride. We only get a couple of glimpses of them leaving, cresting a giant hill, taking the car airborne and then returning it. What’s going on in their lives? They seem to be living a very different experience than Ferris, who lives in the the ultimate suburbia. What may have led to them needing that car, wanting that car and taking it? When you begin to unravel all the threads, it sparked a lot of ideas. We’re excited to tell a very different story that takes place in Chicago on that day that’s not trying to retread “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” It is only trying to add to it; we’re not trying to shove nostalgia down anyone’s throats. We love and respect movies that everyone talks about being untouchable, and this isn’t looking to touch or mess with “Ferris Bueller” in any way.

Heald: We’re not interested in remaking something. We love it so much, we want to explore it more. The similarity with “Cobra Kai,” it started with a point-of-view that you haven’t seen. In “Karate Kid,” what if you were in Johnny’s shoes? It makes you look back at “The Karate Kid” in a fun, different way. It keeps that movie alive in a different way. If things work out with this, it would be similar.

Do you have any ideas or any familiar faces or moments or songs that might reappear?

Hurwitz: We don’t want to spoil anything that’s going to happen, but needless to say, it’s taking place the same day as Ferris’ day off. They’re in Chicago, they’ve crossed paths on their journey. Some of the iconic set pieces or locations that we saw through Ferris’ eyes, perhaps we’ll get to see through the eyes of other characters.

But… it’s funnier not knowing why or where they went.

I love Cobra Kai, but in this case, it’s really not creatively needed.

[Pennywise]

They still really want to make this?

 

[Spider-Fan]

Is this a joke? Is this real? I feel like I am being punked

Nope, it’s real unfortunately!

 

[Spider-Fan]

Nope, it’s real unfortunately!

I suddenly have a deeper respect for Madame Web and Kraven the Hunter upon hearing this....

 

[samsnee]

Nope, it’s real unfortunately!

I’m guessing they try to do Harold and Kumar vibe

 

[JoshB1980]

This is completely pointless. One of the actors who played the valets has died, and they recast them both before that anyway. Its been almost 40 years, so why make the movie? What young person even remembers "Ferris Bueller" these days?

 

[StarLord]

So in Ferris Bueller they never even had names and now they just made them up like that is meant to mean anything to people.

What is this nonsense lol.

What is this nonsense lol.

In a DVD interview, actor Richard Edson (the white valet) said he didn't want to play a character without a name. So John Hughes said, "OK, name yourself." Edson chose the name "Smznck", with no vowels. He said he did this because at the time, he thought the look he had was Eastern European.

I dunno, maybe it's the folks working on it, but I'm kinda into this. Could be fun.
