A New "Vacation" Movie?

I don't know what to think, but I am intrigued.

I have two questions...

1) Why didn't they get Anthony Michael Hall to reprise his role as Rusty? He probably wouldn't have turned it down.

2) Which fictional (but real) park will they be visiting? Will it be a more modern Wally World?

Ed Helms in talks to star in 'Vacation' reboot

Ed Helms is in negotiations to star in New Line's planned "Vacation" reboot. Helms will play Rusty Griswold, the kid from the original films, who in the new movie will be all grown up and embarking on a vacation with his own family.

John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are directing the project, which plays like both a sequel and a reboot of the Chevy Chase franchise that began with the 1983 Harold Ramis-directed comedy "National Lampoon's Vacation." That film was written by John Hughes and was based on his own experiences on family vacations. Anthony Michael Hall played Rusty in the original. The franchise continued with "European Vacation" (1985), "Christmas Vacation" (1989) and "Vegas Vacation" (1997).

The new project will start filming in the spring after Helms wraps "The Office."

David Dobkin is producing.

Helms, repped by CAA and Principato Young, is in production on Lionsgate's "They Came Together" with Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler and will begin shooting "The Hangover Part III" in September.
