Nooooooo - A Ferris Remake
Dear Hollywood,
Why oh why can't you just leave good things alone? It was bad enough when you tried to make a Ferris Bueller television show, but this is so much worse. A Ferris Bueller remake? Was the first one not good enough? Doesn't it stand the test of time? Why do you always have to f**k with a good thing? Apparently you have decided that a new generation needs to have their own version of Ferris Bueller and I cannot think of a worse idea.
Matthew Broderick spoke to Cinematical about the rumors that a new Ferris movie was in the works and this is what he had to say. "(A remake) would be fine. I would be perfectly happy for somebody to do that. I probably wouldn't enjoy (having a role in the film). I would rather leave what we did as our thing."
Despite the fact that Matthew seems ok with it, I think the rest of the world should have a vote and I say not only no, but hell no. It is timeless. Do not mess with Ferris.
For your viewing pleasure are the best of Ferris which is about nine minutes long and the best lines from Ferris which is about 4 minutes long.

Hey, Hollywood---be creative! Come up with NEW ideas! Stop recycling. Bunch of lazy asses!!
no, they can't do this. can they do this?!? isn't this illegal???
do not tarnish bueller!!!!!!!!!
hell to the NO!! Leave this alone Hwood! Next thing you know they'll want to remake Fast Times! This is illegal I say!
This movie is so played. They show it at least once a month on cable, so why do you have to remake it?
I have an idea. Instead of a remake, why not re-release it on the big screen? I'd pay to go see the original in the theater again. That way they can get some decent revenue at a fraction of the cost.
DEAR WHOEVER IS INTENDING TO PERFORM THIS SACRILEGE:
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY DO NOT F_CK UP THIS MOVIE.
THANK YOU.
Why does Hollywood never learn from its stupid mistakes?
you know Breakfast Club is next if this shit happens. John Hughes is dead,who knows what's going to become of his work or how its protected.
AW HELL NO! Fuck this shit! Can we boycott this fuckery?
Let's ask Ferris himself. He still is living in the suburbs of Chicago.
I cant' believe Matthew Broderick thinks this is ok. Really, Matthew? You’re ok with them taking a big fat steaming dump on the iconic film that made you a star? You must have profit participation on any future Ferris projects is all I can figure. The only thing that can save us now is zombie John Hughes.
I'm a Chicago native and I did love this movie, but my one pet peeve about it is that it is impossible to do everything they did in one day in Chicago. Still, the city looks great in the movie.
Blesphemey!
I agree that they should re-release it in the theaters ala Rocky Horror Picture show and people go dressed up as the characters and everyone gets up and dances to the music!
*votes against*
Cameron is one of the funniest characters in film. "He'll keep calling me and calling me..." and then there's the shot through the car window where you see Cameron pacing and then he starts jumping in frustration. I love that part....

I'm from the 80's and this is sacreligious! I'm outraged! I walked to the movies to see all the John Hughes film in the theatre, not on cable. What in the name of Molly Ringwald is going on?
Isn't it bad enough they had to mess with Footloose? LEAVE FERRIS ALOOOOOOOOONE!
This is one of my biggest peeves about Hollywood lately - no creativity. Nobody can come up with anything new and interesting, so they look at old classics (which I believe "Ferris Bueller" is) and decide to remake them.
GAH!

"I'm from the 80's..." My first thought when I read that was that you are time traveling! "I'm from the 80s, and I'm here to stop this EVIL remake!"
Yes, Babs. Yes I am.
The ultimate sin.
Ferris Bueller, you're my hero.
Corin Nemec is on the phone with his agent right now. Why not? Zombie John Hughes IS our only hope.
If Matthew is "fine" with it, then I hope it's because he knows they can't even get close to the original and that's why he won't be having anything to do with it.
Still, Worst Idea Ever!!
LEAVE FERRIS ALONE!
This movie was perfect the way it was. No one in this lifetime could ever make it any better than it already was, so why even try? I'm surprised Matthew is ok with his.
BOO HISS on all the damn remakes!
Nooooooooooooooooooo...
Ludicrous.
Bueller?, Bueller?, Bueller? HELP US!
No F&*king way.
My husband and I have been late leaving home for things when this comes on the television, even though we own it on DVD, it is still funny. Hopefully the idea will die. Lets sabotage it by showing the original to all generations that missed out in the 80s, then we can roll out all John Hughes films and start an underground revolution so nobody goes to any remakes.
NO! Are there no writers left who write original things???
Maybe we should write a script. Mad Libs style!!!
My God! Now I remember why I had such a crush on Charlie Sheen as a teen. He was f***ing hot!!!
Can't somebody invent a time machine already?
there were actually two tv shows based on ferris bueller. the OTHER one lasted a bit longer.
i also vote no.
another bit of useless trivia i remember: FBDO was dan quayle's stated favorite movie.
Boooooooo! Hissssss! >:(
i have just keeled over in heartbreak. nooooooooooooooooo!!!!
No!
Save Ferris!
ugh...i've never boycotted anything and now i have to start at my age? someone is going to pay for this...
When they started fucking with FAME, it confirmed it- nothing is sacred in H-town. They'd make the bible if there was more sex and could be reduced to 90 minutes.
HEATHENS!!!
If there was an original thought in Hollywood it would die of loneliness.
Stop already with the remakes.
Saying Hell No to the Ferris B. Redux.
The only worse idea I've heard was the '16 Candles' sequel Molly Ringwald was talking about last year. BLASPHEMY!
