    Ferris Bueller Will Return This Super Bowl

    DateThu, January 26, 2012

    I know I'm in the minority here.

    But part of me cringed seeing Michael J. Fox "reprising" his iconic Marty McFly character from Back to the Future for that Scream Awards ad two years ago. Yeah, it was great to see Fox (fighting Parkinson's disease with class and dignity) appearing to be in good shape and spirit. But some characters need to stay youthful. We don't need to see how they look twenty-plus years on. Part of what we associate with characters like Marty is his youth. Probably just an overreaction on my part, but I digress.

    Coming Soon has noticed this teaser commercial featuring Matthew Broderick evidentially returning as the equally-iconic 80s teen hero Ferris Bueller (from John Hughes' great Ferris Bueller's Day Off) promoting...something...on the Super Bowl.

    Your guess is as good as mine as to what this is for.
