• “Another Day Off”: Apparently there’s a screenwriter named Rick Rapier who wrote a spec script for a Ferris Bueller sequel, and he’s been shopping it around for years. He claims via Twitter that it’s taking off, though it’s impossible to know if he’s telling the truth or not — what details of the script we’ve heard don’t exactly inspire us, frankly. Apparently Ferris is a mega-rich motivational speaker with a private jet, and former principal Ed Rooney is his stalker. This sounds suspiciously like one of the major criticisms of The Hangover 2; namely, that the sequel is just setting up a façade to have the same plot happen again. Also, considering Ed Rooney actor Jeffrey Jones is now a convicted sex offender, that character may not play like the enjoyably sinister villain anymore. source
