‘FERRIS BUELLER’ SPINOFF ABOUT VALET ATTENDANTS IN THE WORKS
Ultimate Classic Rock ^ | August 19, 2022 | Bryan Rolli

John Hughes’ classic 1986 teen comedy Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is getting a spinoff about two characters who played a small but pivotal role in the original movie.

According to Deadline, the new film, titled Sam and Victor’s Day Off, will follow the two titular valet employees who, in the 1986 classic, take Cameron Frye’s father’s red Ferrari for a cross-town joyride while Cameron, Ferris and Sloane Peterson gallivant around Chicago on their day off. Sam and Victor run up the odometer on the prized red Ferrari, forcing Cameron to decide how he’s finally going to confront his father, with whom he has a fraught relationship.

Sam and Victor’s Day Off, which is in the works at Paramount Pictures, comes from Cobra Kai creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg and Josh Heald. Actor and writer Bill Posley (The Neighborhood, Cobra Kai, Bitch Ass) will supply the script.

The (unnamed) valet attendants in the original film were played by Richard Edson and Larry “Flash” Jenkins, the latter of whom died in 2019. There’s no word yet on who will star in Sam and Victor’s Day Off, or whether any of the original film's cast members will return.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off starred Matthew Broderick as the titular Ferris, Alan Ruck as Cameron and Mia Sara as Sloane. It also featured a pre-Dirty Dancing Jennifer Grey as Ferris' sister Jeannie, Jeffrey Jones as principal Ed Rooney, Ben Stein as the infamously monotone economics teacher and Charlie Sheen as a young delinquent who appeared briefly in a police station scene.

The film grossed $70 million against a $5 million budget and has become one of the most beloved comedies of all time. The song “Oh Yeah” by Swiss electronic music duo Yello, which played during scenes involving the convertible Ferrari, became a cultural touchstone in the wake of the film’s succes.

If Larry “Flash” Jenkins can't be in it due to his death, why would they bother to make this ? It should've been done over 30 years ago, if at all. Those two actors made the scene in the movie.

In this film, lead Character “Sam” comes to terms with his/her/it/them/suchwhat’s true gender identity, in light of the burden of oppression that BIPOC have endured under American Christo-normative capitalism, while highlighting things we can all do as activists, to help fight climate change.

Hollywood has no new ideas. It’s a wasteland.

In 1995, when I PCS’d from Ft. Riley to Korea, those are the two guys that came from the moving company to pack my stuff. Out of my entire CD and record collection I had two items that were out of print and irreplaceable. Both of them ended up missing when my household goods were delivered

Don’t forget there’s scenes where they attend a drag queen storytime at a library, and for school they go to the abortion clinic for anatomy class.

Is Biden going to pass a law making movies that aren’t remakes or reboots illegal?

Too little butter covering some very moldy bread.

Like an SNL skit which was funny for five minutes but cannot carry a movie for over an hour and a half.
