Sequels
The interwebs was aghast at the news that there may or may not be a sequel to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off in the near future.
A teaser trailer has been making the rounds featuring Matthew Broderick as Ferris all grown up reciting the classic line from the 1986 film “How can I handle work on a day like today?”. The nine second clip uploaded this weekend by user “chuckachucka2012” has managed to get the world’s attention.
It appears that the mysterious video clip was made as a Super Bowl commercial (the Super Bowl is next week) but what it’s meant to advertise nobody knows.

There was a collective, global sigh yesterday, when it appeared that hell had indeed frozen over and the inevitable had happened. Hollywood was remaking what cannot be remade.
If you hadn’t noticed, they’ve been working up to it for a while.
The Karate Kid (with Kung Fu), Clash of the Titans, A Nightmare on Elm Street, another Robin Hood (with a Robin and Marion surely too old to be climbing trees), more Predators, more Aliens, more Predators AND Aliens, Indy 4, Die Hard 4, Rambo 4, Rocky 6, and even news of Top Gun 2, set to take us back into the exciting world of… drone pilots.

Great piece Dan. On face value, the practice of conceiving on the back row of a cinema to produce a chauffeur to drive you to the much later sequel, represents an excellent return on investment. Following the plot line may, however, prove challenging. Apart from the passing of time, were… Read more »
My old neighbour once sent her husband out to rent a video for them to watch together. He returned with a film called ‘One Tough Bastard’.
After wondering how much longer their marriage would last, my mind turned to a loftier question: what would you title the sequel to ‘One Tough Bastard’? Would it be ‘One Tougher Bastard’? ‘Two Tough Bastards’? ‘One Tough Bastard and a Baby’? Sadly, there is no such sequel. Apparently when you’ve conquered the summit of film achievement, there’s nothing more to say.
There are a lot of pitfalls in the movie-making business. Agreeing to make or star in a sequel is surely one of the biggest.

I agree, Terminator and Terminator II: Judgement Day felt like two halves of the same story, which equals awesome. I can’t even talk about the pure awfulness of T3 and haven’t dared watch T4. Read more »

"A teacher at Geelong Grammar had criticised her for using words that were too long, which had left her confused and had made her doubt her ability to write essays.
