Matthew Broderick Says A Ferris Bueller Remake is Fine

nike-dunk-high-pro-sb-ferris-bueller-sample-detailed-pictures It is a classic movie from the 80’s, with a very strong cult following…and now, Hollywood wants to do its remake.

Hardcore fans of the film, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, may not agree with this idea, citing that nothing beats the original. But Ferris Bueller himself, Matthew Broderick, has given the studio bosses his green light. However, he will not have any part in the remake.

According to reports, the actor is very “happy” with the plan and said: “(A remake) would be fine. I would be perfectly happy for somebody to do that. I probably wouldn’t enjoy (having a role in the film). I would rather leave what we did as our thing.”

Ferris Bueller was a rebellious high school teenager who had an unusually cool adventure. It was the movie Broderick will be remembered for all time.

Rebooting Spiderman 4

Screen shot 2010-01-13 at 10.38.05 AMWith Sam Raimi, the director for the Spiderman Trilogy, now opting out of the project, news have it that even Tobey Maguire is out and the studio is now looking to bring in a whole new cast and crew for Spiderman 4.

According to reports, Sony wants “a more gritty, contemporary redo of the series,” and is looking towards the fresh batch of directors to do this next installment, which has been planned to run in 2010. What that probably means is targeting the “Twilight” market, which, from the marketing point of view, sounds feasible, but this will probably alienate hardcore fans of the comic book character.

Whatever is the result of this though, I just have to say that a third Spiderman was, in fact, completely unnecessary, so I really don’t care much about a fourth installment. Why can’t they just do something new?
