It seems Hollywood can’t get enough of their remakes and reboots!
A promotional photo has been released of the eagerly awaited reboot of National Lampoon’s Vacation. This time around, the film will be simply titled Vacation.
Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo are reprising their roles are Clark and Ellen Griswold, roles they first took on in the original 1983 film. Here’s the pic!
The original movie followed the Griswold’s on a cross-country round trip to the Walley World theme park. Of course the trip went anything but smoothly.
In the reboot, Ed Helms takes over as Clark and Ellen’s son, Rusty (originally played by Anthony Michael Hall), and he wants to take his family on a similar trip to a theme park.
Christina Applegate is taking on the role of Rusty’s wife, Debbie. Not pictured is Leslie Mann, who will be playing Rusty’s sister Audrey (originally played by Dana Barron).
This new Griswold adventure is being co-directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein, who helped co-write the comedy Horrible Bosses.
Vacation is hitting theaters July 31. In related, random reboot news:
- There’s actually talk of a She’s All That remake coming soon;
- Coach is returning to TV, again starring Craig T. Nelson.
Everything that’s old is new again.
