Planning a Comedy Redo of the 'Ferris Bueller' Movie Starring Original Cast Members - Actor-led cast intends to recreate comedic film "Ferris Makes Blue" in a modern setting.
New Title: Broderick and Ruck Team Up Again: "The Best Is Yet To Come" – Iconic "Ferris Bueller" Duo Planning Comedy Remake
Get ready to reunite with the dynamic duo from the 80s cult classic, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"! Matthew Broderick (63) and Alan Ruck (68), who made a splash as the lead actors back in 1986, are reportedly teaming up for another buddy comedy. According to "Deadline.com," they're deep in discussions for the film project "The Best Is Yet To Come." Allan Loeb ("Rock of Ages") is penning the script, with Jon Turteltaub ("Last Vegas," "Meg") set to direct.
The project is a remake of the French comedy "Le meilleur reste à venir," which was previously transformed into "Das Beste kommt noch!" by Til Schweiger in 2023.
French Roots
The story revolves around two lifelong friends who are convinced that the other has only a few months left to live due to a misunderstanding. One of them is a playboy, while the other is more settled. They embark on a series of adventures together to celebrate their friendship and life itself.
Dimitri Rassam, a French producer who also worked on the original film, is on board as an executive producer. While details about the production timeline are scarce, it's rumored that filming could start as early as this summer.
Cult Classic about School Rebels
In John Hughes' "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," a young Broderick played the role of Ferris Bueller, a student who couldn't stand school. Along with his pal Cameron (Ruck) and his girlfriend, he manages to have a fantastic day in Chicago, ending with an unexpected turn of events.
This potential collaboration between the two stars marks an exciting return to the big screen, especially after Alan Ruck's noteworthy role in the TV series "Succession," which wrapped up in 2023. Buckle up for more laughs and heartwarming moments as these two legends join forces once again!
