Next year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", a classic teen film. The movie came out just when I was entering high school, and it remains one of my favorites. A new DVD version is even coming out next year to celebrate the anniversary.
To this end, I have written a letter to the Mayor of Chicago in hopes of creating some type of festival next summer to mark the 20th anniversary. Chicago was, of course, the site of the movie, and it is a great city, especially in the summer. I am hoping there can be a celebration downtown where many of the scenes were shot. Who knows, maybe director John Hughes or Matthew Broderick himself will become involved. I will report any news related to this here on the blog.
