'Ferris Bueller's Day Off 2' Possibly Moving Forward

Back in 2007, TampaBay.com’s Stuck in the ’80s blog reported on a screenplay for a possible sequel to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off being shopped around Hollywood by relatively unknown writer Rick Rapier. The site apparently loved the script, which picks up with the gang roughly 20 years later. Ferris has become a famed motivational speaker, with best friend and business partner Cameron by his side and Rooney still stalking him from afar. However, Ferris is feeling unfulfilled, and so he decides to take his 40th birthday off.

We hadn’t heard much else about the possible sequel since then, but earlier this week, Rapier tweeted that some people had expressed interest in his sequel:

Wish I could tweet names of ppl reading my #FerrisBueller sequel. Your jaw would drop. I’m stoked! Plz keep a good thot.

What people? Rapier expanded a bit in a recent conversation with Stuck in the ’80s (via FirstShowing):

There is definite interest in my Ferris sequel. Big name production companies that have first-look production deals with Paramount are reading the script. Your readers would know either their names or have seen movies they’ve produced, some of them classics. We have high hopes that one or more will take an interest, and that Paramount brass will go for it on their advice.

The idea of a Ferris Bueller sequel initially struck me as absurd, but Hollywood’s currently scraping the bottom of your childhood toybox in a desperate attempt to avoid producing anything original — the more I think about this, the less crazy it sounds. Whether the movie would actually be any good is another question. Check out the first twelve pages of the script here, and judge for yourself.

I'm honestly a little curious...I've heard the script is great so...I'm cautiously optimistic.
