Paramount‘s feature spinoff of 1980s touchstone Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is revving up.
The studio has set David Katzenberg to direct the spinoff movie Sam and Victor’s Day Off, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The film takes place on a single day and is set to follow the two titular valets who borrow the Ferrari belonging to the father of Alan Ruck’s character Cameron in John Hughes’ original 1986 film.
Katzenberg is known for his work as director and executive producer of ABC’s The Goldbergs, along with producing It.
Producers on the feature include Paul Young of Argyle Media, in addition to Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg and Josh Heald. Dina Hillier serves as executive producer, while associate producers include Stephen Cedars, Benji Kleiman and Scott Yacyshyn.
The project was reported back in 2022 as being in development. The news of Katzenberg’s hiring was first reported by newsletter The InSneider.
Katzenberg is represented by WME and Johnson Shapiro.
More to come.
