Rumour has it Matthew Broderick going to reprise his role as Ferris Bueller the iconic slacker created by John Huges. Produced for a comparatively small amount by todays standers it went on to be highest grossing film of 1986. Many have tried to replicate the Ferris formula but with little success, if anyone remembered the television spin off with Jennifer Anistion best we forget, I can't see anyone attempting it any day soon. The cleverer teasers by HONDA have done exactly what they were supposed to tease a generation who grew up in the 80's and now have teenagers of their own. The 80's and John Huges invented the teenager so why not take one of the most recognizable characters of that period and put him in advert and ask Todd Phillips of "The Hangover" fame to direct it. The advert will mimic famous scenes from the film and is due to be showcased on the night of the Super Bowl. Who knows if this goes well next year we could have Molly Ringwald advertising Stannah Stair Lifts.
Remember advertising's all about stealing from the creatively rich to sell to the financially poor.
