Well, it looks like this one's definitely happening now. After a slight delay, work is now pressing ahead on the remake/reboot/whatever of National Lampoon's Vacation, which will see Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo reprising their roles of Clark and Ellen Griswold in cameos.

However, this is a passing the torch movie, and as such, the focus will be on their son, Rusty Griswold, played by Ed Helms. He decides to take his own family on a road trip, no doubt with hilarious consequences.

John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the writers behind Horrible Bosses, are penning the script and directing this one. And the cast is now going to feature Elizabeth Gillies (of Victorious fame), as well as Chris Hemsworth, Charlie Day and Christina Applegate.

Actress Leslie Mann has been tapped to join Ed Helms in the upcoming reboot of National Lampoon's Vacation.

The This Is 40 star has been cast as Audrey Griswold, the sister of Helms' Rusty Griswold, the grown-up son of Clark and Ellen Griswold, who were played by Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo in the classic 1983 comedy.

Shooting is expected to start in the next week or so, and the film's likely to be in cinemas next year.

The cast has me like

With 7 funny people this can't be horrible; and even if it is bad, it can't be worse than European or Vegas.

Looks like they are setting up many more to come, actually does look pretty funny.

 

[The Watcher]

I'm still indecisive. I can't tell if this is one of those movies that seems funny in the trailer but turns out to be trash or if it's one of those movies that will be GOAT contender funny.

Full disclosure - I could be bias to the original based off the strength of cousin Eddie giving Clark the greatest pimp to pimp gift ever
