‘Ferris Bueller’ Stars Matthew Broderick and Alan Ruck Reunite at Ballpark

Matthew Broderick and Alan Ruck still have incredible chemistry, 39 years on from the release of their iconic movie, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Broderick, 63, and Ruck, 69, were on hand to rouse the crowd at Nat Bailey Stadium in Vancouver, Canada, on Sunday, Aug. 24. They led the baseball fans in a chorus of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during the game between the Vancouver Canadians and the AquaSox.

The pair, both sporting glasses and athleisure wear, recreated some of their magical chemistry from the infamous movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, in which Broderick plays the title character while Ruck portrays his perpetually pessimistic best friend, Cameron. The movie sees the pair enjoy a day off while skipping high school and, miraculously, get away with it. 

One of the movie’s most memorable scenes is of the pair recreating the baseball chant, “Hey batter, batter, batter, batter, swing, batter!” The film also sees Ferris and Cameron, along with Ferris’ girlfriend Sloane (played by Mia Sara), attend a baseball game at Chicago’s Wrigley Field during their attempts to evade capture by their high school principal.

And if fans were delighted to see the actors reunited, their luck is in, as, per IMDB, they will soon be lighting up the big screen once again in a new film called The Best is Yet to Come, which sees two friends embark on a bucket list-style road trip.

On August 20, the pair were spotted filming a scene from the movie, based on a French flick of the same title, in Vancouver.

Deadline reported in May that the film focuses on a pair of best friends who, “through a colossal misunderstanding that creates a ticking clock, hop in a car to find the estranged son of one of them and also try to do all the things that life has prevented them from doing.”

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off launched then-23-year-old Broderick’s career, and during a 2023 appearance on The Hollywood Reporter’s It Happened in Hollywood podcast, he recalled that director John Hughes, who died in 2009, “was not easygoing in some ways.”

During “a costume test early on” in the shoot, he said, there was “a big drama.”

While he noted that the first disagreement lasted only “half a day,” Broderick also said Hughes “was somebody who could get angry at you.”

“He was like, ‘Well, then, I won’t direct you at all,’ ” Broderick noted. “And for a few days he didn’t give me anything. Until I finally had to say, ‘John, you have to direct me, come on.’ That was our worst one.”
