Chevy Chase returns to new Vacation film

Talks for a new Vacation film appear to be going ahead. Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo will reprise their original roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold. Their son, Rusty (previously played by Ethan Embry in Vegas Vacation), played by Ed Helms (The Hangover), visits them on a pit stop with his wife (Christina Applegate) and family while on a vacation that goes terribly wrong. Chase and D’Angelo initially weren’t sure if they wanted to return, but a recent draft of the script convinced them. Writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein will also direct the film, which starts shooting this summer for a 2014 release. They were also behind the works of the recent comedy The Incredible Burt Wonderstone and the Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs sequel, set to release September 27, 2013. ~E. Guevarra
