Overview

• David Spade recently revealed he declined a sequel pitch for 'Tommy Boy' that focused on the characters' children, citing Chris Farley's absence as a dealbreaker.
• Spade described Farley as the heart of the original film, stating it would be impossible to recreate the dynamic without him.
• The pitch, made two years ago, proposed a storyline where Spade's character assists the next generation on a road trip, but Spade dismissed it as a 'sell out.'
• The 1995 comedy, which underperformed at the box office but later became a cult classic, was celebrated this year with a 30th anniversary 4K re-release.
• Spade and Farley's comedic partnership, which began on Saturday Night Live, was also highlighted in their follow-up film 'Black Sheep' and remains a defining aspect of their careers.
