Domino`s Pizza has recruited Stranger Things actor Joe Keery for a new commercial that riffs on the `80s movie Ferris Bueller`s Day Off. In the new spot, titled `Home For Pizza,` Keery makes a mad dash home just as Matthew Broderick did to avoid getting caught playing hooky. Keery`s quest is to make it home in time to meet the delivery person (via The Hollywood Reporter).Keery sprints through a neighborhood, vaulting over shrubbery and even snagging a drink from a neighbor and stopping to chat with bikini-wearing sunbathers, just like Broderick did in the movie. Actor Alan Ruck, who played Bueller`s friend Cameron in the movie, has a cameo in this ad--and of course, he`s wearing his Detroit Red Wings jersey. For comparison, you can watch the race home scene from Ferris Bueller`s Day Off here on YouTube.This new Domino`s ad promotes the pizza company`s tracking service that gives you updates on the status of your pie as it makes its way from the oven to your home.
