Because they can’t make anything new these days, there’s a reboot/refresh on the way for National Lampoon’s VACATION starring Ed Helms as Rusty Griswold, and now more confirmed with Chris Hemsworth and Charlie Day joining the madness.
This new outing is based on John Hughes original characters, which was influenced by this own family holidays in the early 1980s. Those films starred Chevy Chase, and there’s rumours that he’ll return in some form with a cameo. On the directorial side, it’s debutants John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein who are bringing it back to life and they’ve written the script that’ll see the grown-up son of Clark (Chase) take his family on a road trip like they did as a kid – chaos awaiting!
There’s accompanying cast with the delectable Christina Applegate playing Rusty’s wife and Hemworth as Stone Crandall, an up-and-coming anchorman and husband of Rusty’s sister, Audrey; the latter is yet to be cast. Charlie Day will take on a cameo role.
VACATION has a lot to be confirmed, including release dates, but we’ll keep an eye and hope for something positive!
