The Powers That Be have wanted to remake 1983's Chevy Chase-led National Lampoon's Vacation since 2009, if not before. Despite a string of sex-crazed, low-rent, direct-to-DVD excuses-for-movies sullying the Lampoon film brand throughout the late '90s and 2000s, a new Vacation movie was top priority.
The goal was to bring Chase's Clark Griswold back as a grandfather. Brilliant! Or, logical enough. The idea percolated. It was happening. Then it wasn't? Then it was. Ed Helms joined the rumor party in 2012, supposedly taking on the role of Clark Griswold's son Rusty. Then the idea faded. Maybe people didn't really wan—WAIT HOLD ON. Like a Christmas bonus arriving in miracle time, a Vacation-loving studio executive packed up the reboot's bags and hit the road towards your local multiplex. The movie was happening, with Chase, Helms, Beverly D'Angelo, and Christina Applegate playing the pair of bonding fathers and mothers.
Directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the writing duo behind Horrible Bosses and The Incredible Burtwonderstone, the seuquel boot, simply titled Vacation, is officially scheduled for July 31, 2015.
