Two Ferris Bueller's Day Off Stars Reuniting After 39 Years In New Comedy Movie

Two stars from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off are reuniting after 39 years in a new comedy movie, тιтled The Best Is Yet To Come. Written and directed by John Hughes, the classic 1986 teen comedy stars Matthew Broderick as the тιтular charismatic high school slacker who skips school with his best friend Cameron (Alan Ruck) and his girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara) to spend the day in Chicago. The Ferris Bueller’s Day Off cast also includes Jeffrey Jones, Jennifer Grey, Cindy Pickett, Lyman Ward, Edie McClurg, Charlie Sheen, Ben Stein, and many more.

Now, according to ᴅᴇᴀᴅline, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off stars Matthew Broderick and Alan Ruck are reuniting in The Best Is Yet To Come. It’s described as a comedy, written by Allan Loeb and directed by Jon Turteltaub, and is based on the French film of the same name. Broderick and Ruck are still negotiating, though their deals are reportedly being finalized, and the filmmakers are planning to start production this summer.

What This Means For The Best Is Yet To Come

Matthew Broderick & Alan Ruck Will Play Best Friends Once Again

In John Hughes’ classic 1986 comedy, Matthew Broderick’s Ferris Bueller and Alan Ruck’s Cameron are best friends. In the film, the two, along with Ferris’ girlfriend Sloane, famously borrow Cameron’s father’s most prized possession, his 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder, and take the car on a day trip to Chicago. In The Best Is Yet To Come, Broderick and Ruck will play best friends once again, who embark on a similar road trip.

Based on the 2019 French film of the same тιтle, The Best Is Yet To Come follows two best friends who, due to a major misunderstanding that sets a ᴅᴇᴀᴅline in motion, hit the road to track down one of their estranged sons while also attempting to check off many life experiences they have long missed out on. Like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Best Is Yet To Come could explore similar themes, such as friendship, seizing the moment, and how spontaneity can change lives.

Our Take On Matthew Broderick & Alan Ruck Reuniting In The Best Is Yet To Come

It Sounds Like Ruck’s Most Substantial Role Since Succession

Connor Roy looking nervous in Succession

The Best Is Yet To Come not only represents a reunion for the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off stars, but it will also offer Alan Ruck his most substantial role since Succession ended in 2023. In the HBO show, Ruck played Connor Roy, Logan’s estranged son from his first marriage, and despite earning an Emmy nomination for his performance, he was often overlooked since Connor was mostly removed from the family’s affairs. Front and center alongside his Ferris Bueller’s Day Off co-star, Ruck should receive more recognition for The Best Is Yet To Come.
