This is true&#8230;but it wasn&#8217;t a scene. It was a call for extras &#8211; and the meeting space just happened to be the stadium. Now the deal with &#8216;Ferris&#8217; Other Day Off&#8217; is that the studio were looking at doing one direct to video (I believe this is because John Hughes refused to get involved). Unfortunately it&#8217;s not Matthew Broderick in the role either, but an actor named Nick Wechsler (from &#8220;Roswell&#8221;). I haven&#8217;t heard much about it in a while, so it may have fallen through (I know a director hadn&#8217;t be found) &#8211; and that the studio were waiting to see how some of their other direct to video sequels do this year&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to Robyn for this.
