Our 6/24 Revenge of the 80s Radio podcast is up and available at the bottom of this post. In hour 2, our special guest is screenwriter Rick Rapier, who wrote a controversial sequel to “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” titled: “Ferris Bueller: Another Day Off.” While fans have sent me mixed reactions after bringing it up in a previous post, Rapier’s screenplay is circulating Hollywood and impressing producers. Because of the buzz, this script may soon become a reality.
Among the topics Rapier and I discuss are:
- Why he decided to write the sequel
- Matthew Broderick as Ferris
- His thoughts on the movie’s characters and writer John Hughes
- What Ferris, Cameron and the rest of the characters would be doing today and why
- The importance of Ed Rooney and the significance of the minor characters
Rick also reveals a few things from the script that have not been made public before this interview. I admit I was quite skeptical at first, but after reading the script I could see the potential of this becoming an honorable homage to Mr. Bueller as long as it is only Broderick who plays him.
