Who’s ready for a joyride? The long-rumored Ferris Bueller’s Day Off spin-off, Sam and Victor’s Day Off, is ready to twist and shout with David Katzenberg at the helm. According to industry insider Jeff Sneider, Katzenberg is buckling up for a film featuring the two mischievous valets who borrowed Cameron’s father’s Ferrari to rip through the streets of Chicago joyously! In his newsletter, Sneider says the duo’s adventure takes place on a single day, with Sam and Victor grabbing life by the short and curlies for a fast-paced tear through city streets.
Sam and Victor’s Day Off will be Katzenberg’s feature directorial debut after helming numerous television episodes for various shows. Famously known in the industry for directing 41 episodes of The Goldbergs, Katzenberg’s director credits extend to Young Rock, 9-1-1: Lone Star, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, Schooled, Riverdale, and more.

Everything old is new again. Or, in this case, kind of old again since we're going back to the '80s. It has been revealed that the John Hughes classic "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is getting a spin-off film. While that, on its own, might raise an eyebrow or two, the actual pitch for the movie is more than a little surprising. Rather than focusing on Ferris, Cameron, or one of the other main characters, we are going to take a look at a couple of very minor figures in Ferris' legendary day away from school.
As reported by Deadline, the film is titled "Sam and Victor's Day Off" and is currently in the works at Paramount Pictures. So, who are Sam and Victor? Those who will recall the 1986 classic might remember that Ferris convinced Cameron to borrow his dad's cherished Ferrari. Well, this movie will focus on the valets...

Exclusive: Relationships with exes can be complicated — especially when you sleep with them and wake up the next morning nine months pregnant. In the SXSW pic Snatchers, co-directors Stephen Cedars and Benji Kleiman bring us the spirit of horror comedies like Gremlins and irreverent high school humor from pics like Mean Girls to tell a tale of friendship, self-worth and….alien pregnancies.
In the trailer above we see Sara (Mary Nepi), like all high school teens, make some questionable life choices. She’s one of the “cool” kids but is scared of losing her status and decides to get back with her hunky ex Skyler (Austin Fryberger) to preserve her coolness. But the only way he will get back with her is if she sleeps with him. Desperate to preserve her cool status, she has sex with him (it’s her first time) without protection. The thing is, he isn’t your normal hormone-crazed teenager.

She was worried about her social status, but Sara had no idea that her obsession would lead to her and her best friend fending off an alien invasion in Snatchers, Stage 13's new horror comedy series that premiered on Verizon's go90 streaming service.

https://www.go90.com/shows/snatchers
"The first two episodes premiere Today, Thursday June 22, with additional episodes premiering weekly on Thursdays.
The series stars Mary Nepi, Gabrielle Elyse (Nickelodeon’s “The Thundermans”), Austin Fryberger, Jj Nolan, Nick Gomez (Amazon’s “Bosch”) and Rich Fulcher (“Drunk History”).
Created by The Olde Money Boyz (Stephen Cedars, Benji Kleiman & Scott Yacyshyn) and Executive Produced by award-winning Producer Paul Young (“Blackish,” Keanu, Central Intelligence) of Principato-Young
The first two episodes premiere Today, Thursday June 22, with additional episodes premiering weekly on Thursdays.
“Snatchers” follows Sara, a status-obsessed high school student, who, to preserve her social standing, has sex for the first time and unexpectedly wakes up pregnant...really pregnant. Things take an interesting turn the morning after she loses her virginity when she quickly discovers she’s pregnant with an alien baby screaming to get out. Now she’ll have to team up with her nerdy ex-best friend Hayley to fight against an extraterrestrial threat, and hopefully keep her mom and friends from finding out about her alien offspring.
“Our goal with ‘Snatchers’ was to bring a human element to the horror-comedy genre. We wanted to create a series that was funny and thrilling, a story with real stakes and honest emotions. We believe the power of the horror-comedy genre lies in playing with people's expectations, creating tension then releasing it through a laugh or a scream -- or hey, both at the same time! Adding a touch of sincerity to that mixture creates something surprisingly unique and visceral,” said The Olde Money Boyz.
