Say It Ain't So: Broderick Approves "Bueller" Remake

Matthew Broderick has given approval for a Ferris Bueller remake. Really? Has Hollywood really run out of fresh ideas? I'm up for a good remake every once in awhile - as long as the movie warrants a remake. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is not one of those movies. I could see a studio making a Ferris sequel - possibly where Ferris continues his rebellious antics at the college level or 40-year-old Ferris attempts to collect a paycheck without ever going to work - but to remake this classic just seems unnecessary. Fortunately, while Broderick has given the green light on the project, he won't be involved. Broderick told Cinematical, "[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." Let's hope the rest of the 1986 original cast take the day off as well.
