EXCLUSIVE:
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off stars
Matthew Broderick and
Alan Ruck are negotiating to reunite in
The Best Is Yet To Come, a comedy that
Allan Loebscripted and
Jon Turteltaub will direct. The film is backed by MRC and Lionsgate is in talks to distribute. It is based on the French film of the same title.
Amy Baer is producing through her Gidden Media banner, and the executive producer is Dimitri Rassam, who produced the 2019 original through his company Chapter 2. Loeb will also be EP.
Last time Broderick and Ruck held the screen together, the latter played a disillusioned son of a wealthy man, a dad who seemed to prize his 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder more than his son. That lead the kid to launch the classic car out a glass window, a dilemma even his best pal Ferris is hard pressed to fix. Here, they will take another road trip.
They play best friends who, through a colossal misunderstanding that creates a ticking clock, hop in a car to find the estranged son of one of them and also try to do all the things that life has prevented them from doing. The original was directed by Alexandre de La Patelliere and Matthieu Delaporte.
