Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie and the winner gets a BuzzSugar t-shirt!
This week's movie was clearly a beloved favorite for many of you — and it looks like you had a lot of fun thinking of new actors for Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Of course, nobody will ever be able to replace the mischievous Matthew Broderick as Ferris Bueller, though I liked many of the choices, in particular the popular choice of Ryan Reynolds.
It was entertaining to see who you chose for the role of Ed Rooney — Pinkrabbit's pick of Will Arnett and hokku241's suggestion of Quentin Tarantino were among my favorites. Casting Jena Malone as Jeanie, as hollywoodholiday offered up, is another fun idea.
But the best cast overall came from sumbum, whose choices all seemed young enough to play high-schoolers, and Michael Cera would be ideal as Cameron! Congrats, sumbum!
To see sumbum's list and the new cast photo, read more
sumbum's cast:
Ferris Bueller - Shia LaBeouf
Sloane Peterson - Hilary Duff
Cameron Frye - Michael Cera
Ed Rooney - Bradley Whitford
Janine Bueller - Rachel Bilson
Anna Sui
Net-a-Porter
Goldsign
Again with being metioned (quite an honor) but not getting the full win.
1Great picks, sumbum. As always, these recasts are fun!
2hah too funny !

What!?! Bilson casting outrage.
4rachel bilson is not nerdy enough for Jeanie! but the rest are great. i loved everyone's agreement, pretty much, on Shia LaBeouf. How about Shia LaHOT?
5Nothing beats the classic...
6Wow. Those are good!
7Actually with Shia's face photoshopped onto that floppy 80's hair, he looks a LOT like Alan Ruck as Cameron.
8Wow, i can't believe it! =) this was my first recast...thanks popsugar, you totally made my day!
9Great Job, sunbum! I especially like the Bradley Whitford pick, he was awesomely Rooneyesque in Billy Madison.
10yay! great job!
11I love it! I'd love to see Bradley Whitford be reeeaaaallly mean and tortured. Great cast!
12Sorry I don't see Rachel playing Janine.
13Great cast
14Funny Movie!
15I would totally cast Bilson as Sloane, but that's just me. LOVE Michael Cera as Cameron, though.
