New Line Working On Vacation Remake/Sequel
The Hollywood Reporter's "Heat Vision Blog" has new info about a (yet another) sequel to the 1983 National Lampoon's Vacation being developed with David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers) attached to produce and direct the film.
The original road comedy starring Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo was the tragic adventure of the Griswold family taking a grueling cross-country road trip. The original movie grossed $61 million theatrically, leading to a couple of sequels. Okay, three. National Lampoon's European Vacation in 1985, Christmas Vacation in 1989 and Vegas Vacation in 1997.
The idea for this sequel, it sounds more like a reboot, is that it would catch up with the now grown-up son of Chase's Clark Griswold, Rusty, originally played by Anthony Michael Hall (but he did not reprise the role in any of the three sequels), as he takes his own family on a similar road trip as the one he took as a young teenager. Even though the new movie will reference the original, there are no guarantees any of the cast from the original movies might return--and humor magazine "National Lampoon" will no longer be involved--but it's thought that Chase and D'Angelo could make appearances as the grandparents, although neither is signed.
