Rumours are a sequel will be announced during the SuperBowl or it's a commerical for something

I'm guessing this will actually be an advert for something as there is not even a rumour of Ferris sequel around Hollywood.
There is the old "Broderick killed my childhood" train of thought but I actually think a sequel would be astonishingly simple to do. The cast are still around, the characters have easily indentifable traits from the first film to make what they would be doing as adults believeable, it has a massive cult following and would cost about 20p to make in Hollywood terms. There were rumours there was a script featuring Ferris as an internet millionaire years ago.
Even if it was a massive turkey you could get your return investment back on opening weekend. And if the rights are available following Mr Hughes death then I'm sure its going to cross someones mind especially if this gets a massive response. (which I'm sure it will.)
Then there is the "all the best films never have sequels," arguement and should we be ruining our beautiful memories? However, there is a Blade Runner sequel on the way so who knows.
Got to say, made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck though.

Isn't it an ad *for* the Superbowl?
Sure, why not, that makes perfect sense. The original Ferris Bueller was all about the American Football. I suppose that's marginally less worse than Ferris Bueller the Geico insurance salesman (or some other soul crushing role for grown up Ferris to be working).

I think this is probably just an Ad.. People sometimes skip work to watch the superbowl, no?
I have no idea, are SuperBowl games usually shown during normal working hours? Eta: from memory they're usually on during the early hours here so that would put it on in the evenings over there?
It makes even less sense that Bueller would skip the entire day off work for something being shown in the evening?

Oh that's so far past awesome i can't even measure it.
The response so far seems to be pretty huge too. If this was a kite flying exercise i think they have their answer.
1,120,000 views in one day for a ten second clip. You're right about that answer.The response so far seems to be pretty huge too. If this was a kite flying exercise i think they have their answer.
The rumour is that is an advert for the Honda CRV. But you do have to wonder what would happen if they waved a really big cheque under Brodericks, Rucks & Sara's nose. Rumour is that Hughes had penned a sequel, so who knows?
And yes there is a Bladerunner sequel on the way. Sir Ridley is doing next after
