By Vacation is one of those absolutely timeless comedies that just doesn’t deserve to be remade. However, the overlords at New Line think differently. Not only has this reboot been in planning for a while now, but it looks like we may have our leading man cast as well. Ed Helms is in talks to play potential bumbling family man Rusty Griswold. You know, Chevy Chase’s son from the original series.
No word on what this new installment will be about, but with the writing team behind Horrible Bosses writing and directing the picture, I have a little more hope. My guess is that this one will be essentially the same movie as the first one, but with cameos by Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo.
