'Ferris Bueller' star Mia Sara makes triumphant red carpet return for 'Life of Chuck'
After over a decade, a much-beloved '80s movie star is making her red carpet return.
Mia Sara, perhaps best known for playing Ferris Bueller's right-hand woman Sloane Peterson in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," posed for photos on Monday, June 2, at the Los Angeles premiere of "The Life of Chuck."
"The Life of Chuck," a buzzy adaptation of a Stephen King novella, represents Sara's first major movie release in years and her first role since 2013's "Pretty Pretty," a little-known short film. In it, she will play Sarah Krantz, the grandmother of protagonist Charles Krantz, portrayed by Tom Hiddleston.
At the premiere, Sara donned a simple black skirt and top combo and statement jewelry, posing alongside Hiddleston and other costars, including Mark Hamill and Matthew Lillard.
Sara, a soap star-turned-'80s starlet, headlined the fantasy flick "Legend" in 1985 and the miniseries "Queenie" in 1987. In the years since, she has retreated from the spotlight, marking her grand return with "Life of Chuck."
What to know about 'The Life of Chuck'
Based on the eponymous King novella, "The Life of Chuck" features everything from an end-of-the-world scenario to multiple dance sequences.
Director Mike Flanagan's movie (in select theaters June 6, nationwide June 13) chronicles the life of a Krantz, a seemingly ordinary accountant, over three acts in reverse chronological order.
"In saying that Chuck contains multitudes, that this little kid has a whole world that will grow, it means that every other person on the planet also contains multitudes," Kate Siegel, who plays Miss Richards in the film, previously told Paste BN. "Chuck is the most important person in the universe and also completely insignificant at the same time. And that feeling is what it means to be human, to feel utterly important and centered and also to be part of a huge whole where every human being contains a universe."
