Ferris Bueller's _last_ day off
Sep. 23rd, 2010 07:49 pmThe Wife's watching "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". It's a favorite. Given the recent wave of nostalgia film & TV are currently riding, we began to wonder when they'll remake it...or even if they could. That's when it hit me.
Matthew Broderick is 48. In 20 years time, they'll make a sequel. Beuller, 70+ and in a nursing home will sneak out for one last day of freedom...with his buddy (who he's liberated from the Alzheimer's ward).
It's a little uncanny how quickly the picture assembles itself in your mind from such a brief & simple concept. Almost writes itself, doesn't it? :-)
