Coming from Paramount, the spinoff is dubbed Sam And Victor’s Day Off, taking place during the John Hughes classic. As Hollywood Reporter states, the film will follow the two garage workers, Sam and Victor, who take care of the highly valuable Ferrari that Ferris Bueller and his friends take to the city. The two workers take out the classy car, and have their own day on the town.
