It's Time For Another VACATION!!
Merrick here...
New Line is dusting off the VACATION franchise previously branded by National Lampoon.
New Line is meeting with writers to write the script but the take is already developed: the story focuses on Rusty Griswold, the son of Clark Griswold, the protagonists of the initial movies and portrayed by Chevy Chase. The younger Griswold is now a father in his own right and takes his family on a road trip vacation.
The characters would acknowledge that first trip, making the movie more of a sequel than a reboot.
Chase and Beverly D’Angelo, who played the mom in the original movies, will have room to make appearances as grandparents, providing a sense of continuity, though no deals are in place.
[EDIT]
New Line is taking meetings with writers this week, hoping to make a movie that skews more towards “Planes Trains and Automobiles” or “Little Miss Sunshine” than “RV” or “Are We There Yet?”
..says THR HERE.
"Rusty" was played by Anthony Michael Hall in the first VACATION film, Jason Lively in EUROPEAN VACATION, Johnny Galecki in CHRISTMAS VACATION, and Ethan Embry in VEGAS VACATION. Perhaps, as an in-joke, The Powers That Be could pull an IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS & have Rusty played by multiple actors in this new film.

Randy Quaid is currently wacked out of his mind

and in twenty years it will the son of the son.

Sounds like the American Pie straight to DVD flicks
by daniel_larussos_gonna_fight
I'll pass if that's the case
-
A spot for Buckinham's HOLIDAY ROAD song and Christie Brinkley!
-
So, Fail. Or as the French would say, "Échouer."
-
...can play the Imogene Coca role! *Rimshot.*
-
Fuck yeah! Beverly D'Angelo was the original milf. Her willingness to get her tits out in the original movie turned me from boy to man.
-
Go get 'em JettL!
-
Why not have Grandma and Grandpa Griswold wanting to take their grandkids on a similiar vacation to what they took their own kids on. It'd be much funnier having Chase try to relate to his grandkids than a carbon copy with Rusty filling Clark's shoes and having each joke 'updated'.Plus is Chevy really too busy? Community should be cancelled by the time this shoots anyway.
-
Can't wait to see it!
-
Wasn't it in European Vacation you see her tits? Or am I forgetting a crucial part of the original Wally World trip?
-
Hinted about in Maxim. He stated that he had a story where they went on a cruise and getting shipwrecked. On the island they find Eddie,a former contestant on a Survivor type show, who has stayed thinking the game is still going on. That sounded like a funny premise to me. Then again I liked nearly all of the Vacation movies. Vegas was ok.
-
WickedJester, I'm pretty sure her bazookas were in the first one too. A scene where she's in the shower and Chevy comes in and pretends to stab her with a lotion bottle in a homage to PSYCHO?
Milf-tastic mate! -
as Rusty.
-
Does he not just vacation 12 months a year in a Florida rest home for previously amusing actors?
-
Although I'd like to see Ethan Embry doing something again...
-
One of my favorite childhood movies.
-
You all know it's coming, unfortunately.
-
Dan Laikin has helped drive this once mighty company into the ground and after trying to falsely pump up the stock, has been busted for securities fraud and is now going to prison for 5 years. New Line will probably win with this, but Nat. Lampoon continues it's unfortunate slide into obscurity. New generation: "National Lampoon? Who? What?"
-
Nobody can replicate John Hughes genius. It's pointless to even try. Cash Grab: The Movie Long live John Hughes legacy!
-
Multiple Rustys is a great idea, the only problem is that only 0,01% of the audience will get the joke. The rest would be confused as fuck.
And I second that Beberly D'angelo remark. When I watched the first vacation movies as a kid, she raised some feelings that I couldn't explain to myself back then. Even in those recent apearances in Entourage she's still a hot milf. -
Steer more towards "Planes Trains" rather than "Are We There Yet?". For once, producers with GOOD IDEAS. Though something tells me this will have the same sort of fratboy humor as Van Wilder and previous "National Lampoon" films.
-
...trying to avoid the mistakes of dad Clark, but failing in his own efforts. I hope they make it another American road trip, too.
-
This stars Seth Rogen.
-
I would much rather see Chase taking his grandchildren on a trip, and trying to relate to them but failing miserably than a rehash of the first one starring the son. I can see this film being along the lines of Robin Williams RV which I honestly didnt give two shits about. If they do this one they at least need Chase in a supporting role.
-
because you'd have to be drunk to watch a remake of this classic. Screw you Hollywood, and your lack of imagination.
-
My folks go on these cruises. Basically, its a bunch of seniors getting drunk, wearing speedo's at the pool, over-eating, puking, having heart attacks, taking pictures, etc. This is the area they should explore-NOT trying to capture lightning 2x-it wont work.
-
If Chevy Chase did another Vacation. He'd have to be the grandfather, low and behold this news appears.
-
I'm gonna name my kid Porsche Pursuit.
-
I heard he was extremely bitter about them wanting to do more Fletch movies without him, and apparently he still thinks he is a mega-movie-star.

It would be awesome if they could get Anthony Michael Hall
by orionsangels
-
He is a bigger buy now, and doesn't come across as the lovable loser anymore.
-
Doesn't this have his name all over it?
-
Who else thinks so? I know you're out there.
-
Randy Quaid has that whole homeless beard thing going on now, perfect!
-
The first one will always be the best one. Next for me is Christmas Vacation. It's become one of those annual Christmas movies you watch each year. European Vacation I never liked that much. The casting of the kids was the worst and the whole Europe setting turned me off. Part 4 was forgettable for me.
-
most definitely European Vacation. I never laughed once. This idea sounds pretty goofy. Although I'm sure Chase would be down considering he doesn't do jack shit anymore.
-
Pretty soon the corporations will eradicate the whole idea of vacations. Then the next target will be weekends. Welcome to the age of enslavement.
-
It's not like Anthony Michael Hall isn't free for this? And I think he'd be good reprising a role he played as a kid. I'm the kind of guy who likes the original actors playing their roles FOREVER.
-
Otherwise... fail.
-
but it was the other Vacation movies de-clawed. I would dig Embry or Hall back in the role but they'll probably cast Shia Labeouf in it...
-
Chevy Chase: "I only have 5 dollars." Wallace Shawn: "Well here's an idea: buy a bullet, and rent a gun! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
-
We're 10 hours away from the fucking fun park, and you want to turn back now. I'm on quest to see moose.PRAISE MARTY MOOSE!
-
Damn you Zabka
-
I bet he'd be fantastic.
-
...what actors can pull off the Clark Griswold-type hapless dad? The current crop of SNLers are funny, but they may be too animated and over-the-top for this kind of role.
-
THE Vacation, Vacation: The Rise of Rusty
-
Christ, when will Hollywood get the point. The only thing that sets apart Vaction from RV, Are we There Yes, and Christ! Junior Shat the Seat was the quality of HUGHES' writing.
Sure, Chevy and the cast had talent; etc., but without a snappy and well-paced script, you have shit. And it's no stretch to go ahead and assume that this movie, like every other piece of copycat shit that slides out of the hollywood poop shoot in recent years, will be DOA.
Now: who seriously wanted to ram the original Audrey? That chick had perkey boobs and a fat sack of ganj. My kinda girl. -
For those of you looking for scoops i'm sorry to say that i really don't have any for this project. about 2 months ago i was asked to input story ideas, but due to other projects i was unable to find the time. Although last week at a dinner party i did suggest to Chase (who is producing, not sure why that isn't mentioned in the article) i suggested to him my story idea of having it be one more family vacation with the kids and grandkids, and that the whole family would go on a cross america trip over the July 4th weekend. Chevy said like with most of my stuff he loved the idea, but that his schedule was full that he will only be doing a few days shooting for a small cameo, he agreed to produce because he loves the franchise and hopes that if this one is a success a 6th movie could possibly be in the cards at a more free time in his schedule so that clark Griswold can have a larger part. I then suggested to him my idea for Haloween vacation and he seemed interestedso we'll see where this road takes us, but as for now i am not involved in this movie, if the opportunity arises i'd be more then happy to do script work later in production John Huges was a friend of mine and i'd love to honor him by working on a franchise he helped to start
-
his celebrity roast was like the toxic spill of burns
-
Him and his wife, either really into hardcore drugs or they got that syphilis that goes to the brain
-
That way, you get continuity, Chevy Chase's comeback continues, AND you set up the new series in a way that doesn't just feel like a rip off of the original.
-
doesn't look like Rusty anymore
-
Christmas and the Original were great, and European wasn't bad, but Vegas... yikes! I think I only chuckled at like 2 scenes and groaned at most of the others. The success of the new film depends on somehow working Cousin Eddie into it.
-
though the original was really good too. Vegas was hit and miss, parts of it were really good, others (like the whole Hoover Dam scene) were really lame. I keep forgetting that the European one even existed, it was really really forgettable.
I would like to see a "Florida Vacation" with Clark and Ellen retiring to Florida. -
...why not bring him back as the adult Rusty since Dead Zone is no more?
-
I love the bit in European Vacation where they replace their old clothes with super-cartoonish, mid-'80s Italian "high fashion" and think they look really cool.
Regarding Rusty: they'll probably have his wife looking through a photo album from when he was a kid and not be able to recognize him (or his sister) from photo to photo. -
Really. It's not.
-
The painting of Wayne Newton as a centaur, anyone?
-
Virtually unwatchable.
-
about beverly d'angelo's tits. i wouldn't want to see them nowadays though.
-
The wagon queen family truckster? That's the important role to cast.
-
with 4 actors playing rusty
-
Anthony Michael Hall as Rusty, Chevy Chase as Clark, and Beverly D'Angelo as Helen. At start of movie, Rusty has recently divorced his wife (who lives in California), and he decides to drive his kids across the country to drop them off (they are going to live with her). Clark and Helen are having marital problems, which happens when you're married 30 years, and they separate and Helen throws him out. Feeling bad for his dad, Rusty invites his dad to join him on the trip to keep him busy. Hilarity ensues as Clark tries to relate to today's teens, with added poignancy of Rusty knowing that he's not going to see his kids as much anymore. Clark/Rusty bonding session, late night trip to strip club to "cheer up" the now single dudes, etc. Just get a bunch of funny people for the supporting roles (like the original), and you have a good movie.
-
That Supershadow guy that claimed to interview George Lucas everyday and know everything that was happening during the production of Star Wars 1-3 and 7-9.
-
Why do they need other touchstones when the source material is already the touchstone for everything that's come since?I think that Chevy Chase & D'Angelo should play a big role. Having the son take over as fully-independent dad just wouldn't be very funny. Having son *trying* to take over as full independent while constantly nagged and henpecked by grandparents throughout film would be much funnier.I bet AMH could do a great job at this--take his Dead Zone persona and push it to the edge of frustration, with Chase as the goofier foil. Don't know if he'd want to--and the studio will most likely case some trendy, obnoxious goon--but it would be fun.
-
A Princess of Mars! If that's *really* you, just wave back.Say, I was wondering if I could take a meeting with you on the direction that we might go in for the new Sherlock Holmes series on SyFy-(king Ghey)? If you have time in your busy schedule...Wait, wait, is that you over there talking to Tom Cruise about his next project? Cool, dude, just get back to us whenever.
-
Without him Hollywood would ground to a stop. NO SPX work, no ideas, no writing no NOTHING! I say Hollywood should be renamed JettLwood! Who's with me?
-
JettL93 is currently on-set with George Lucas advising him on plot directions for Episodes 7 - 9. He updates us here via mobile. (Y'know, while he's on-set/talking to George/advising Tom Cruise/getting blown by Megan Fox.)It's all in a day's work for...JettL93 - SuperTool!
-
No one remembers this TV movie? It's god awful. It does have continuity though so I guess technically there are five Vacation films. Randy Quaid, the woman who plays his wife and the original Audrey (who is HOT!) are in it. It's just dumb, dumb, dumb. Here is the plot summary: hough Eddie's fired right at Christmastime, his boss sends him and his family on a South Pacific vacation, hoping Eddie won't sue him after being bitten by a lab monkey. When the Tuttle family winds up trapped on a tropical island, however, Eddie manages to provide for everyone and prove himself a real man.
-
JettL94 is currently in talks with the city of LA to do exactly that - the current plan have Cris Angel "disappear" the "Holly-" then a fiery techno explosion in the air heralds the arrival of futuristic ninjas who ride the letters "JETTL" out of the sky.Weird, you must have insider information just like me and Jett do.Or maybe you were in a tragic accident causing a coma from which you awoke with psychic powers? Now you solve crimes and advice Hollywood?
-
Hottest. Audrey. Ever.
-
Put in Jane Krakowski (30 Rock) as Cousin Vicki. "Hey, ever bop your baloney?"
-
i have personal knoweledge of this, as i was with Supershadow at his most recent interview of george lucas. i was taking notes for george about episode 7 of star wars when Supershadow confided to me that he was also JettL. and the real shocker is that JettL is actually Jett Lucas! georges son! put that in your pipe and smoke it!
-
JettL93 just waved back at me from the super secret set of "Indiana Jones and the Bloodsucking Vampire Sluts of Mars!" Holy shit! He really *is* a Hollywood insider! I didn't think *anybody* knew about this ultra-secret set that I'm currently on with one, two, uh, no make that THREE totally hot Canadian chicks who work for NASA and strip in Vegas part-time for fun! Wow - JettL93, you *are* amazing!
-
Good call, Xiphos! One of my favorite memories of the original involved the Family Truckster barreling down the freeway..That shot of the kids in the back sleeping...Ellen sleeping in the passenger seat...Clark sleeping in the driver's seat...Pandemonium as the car plowed off the road and ended up at the motel!I fucking laughed so hard I cried.
-
They'll get no one other than Anthony Michael Hall to return as Rusty. Remember, Hall is the one that played Rusty in the first movie.
-
Then maybe someone will see sense and greenlight him in a new series based on the Gregory McDonald FLETCH books...
-
I always wanted to see HAWAIIAN VACATION, VACATION CRUISE, REUNION VACATION, SAFARI VACATION... damn, the possibilities are endless! Hammer out a decent script in the vein of the original, nail the casting (as someone else mentioned, the kids in EUROPEAN were godawful!), and this franchise could still be going strong after James Bond finally has his license revoked.
-
My special insider info comes from an tiny green exile from the planet Zatox. He wears a giant helmet and his name is the Great GaZoo. Gazoo is more tied in then TMZ but less then then that magnificient bastard JettL.
-
"Big Ben! Parliament!" "My family and I are looking for sex!" "Look, dad! Bedpans!" "It's just a flesh wound" "If the beret upsets you, it upsets me." "He may pork her, finish your breakfast."
-
I guess community college only had afternoon classes available by the time his mom made him sign up?
-
Funny how the whole National Lampoon brand is for shit these days, can't believe this isn't going to fall under their successful DVD line of shit. BAG BOY TO THE MAX!
-
That's just disgusting.
-
using the original actors to play Rusty in each of the re-boots.
That would be kind of funny. -
Jason Lee was the natural choice for Fletch back in the day when Kevin Smith was involved, but to be honest, Ryan Reynolds might as well be Chevy Chase reincarnated (prematurely!) Same mannerisms, line deliver, capability with physical comedy. I think Jason Lee's awesome (I'm pretending the Chipmunk movies don't exist) but if they reboot any movie that once involved Chase and want the same magic he used to bring to the table, Reynolds is your man.
-
from xmas vacation? pretty solid laughs there
-
For some reason, even though I like Christmas Vacation the most. I probably watch that movie ten times during the christmas season. Anyways, to me Embry just seemed more like Clark's son, kind of doofy but well meaning.
-
With the exception of the abysmal 'European Vacation', the series was quite good. If they could capture the sassier and naughtier vibe of the first and third ones, then I'm in. And btw, did anyone else here, besides me, think Beverly D'Angelo was hotter than Christie Brinkley in the first one??
-
This will be the determinating factor as to whether this movie sucks or merely blows.
-
I like that guy. He's good in everything I've ever seen him in.
-
I LOVE the first film. European vacation was ok and Christmas Vacation is hysterical, but Vegas Vacation was feces on film. Unless they cast someone Jim Carrey's calibur, it will be a 90 minute root canal.
-
D'Angelo had the cougarlicious vibe down before anyone knew what the fuck a cougar was.
-
...no one's walking out of here - no, NO! We're all in this together! This is a full-blown, 4-alarm Hollywood emergency. We're gonna press on and we're gonna have the hap-hap-happiest movie website since Harry Knowles blew his load all over the Phantom fuckin' Menace.
And when Hollywood squeezes this piece of shit into theaters someday, they're going to find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the world wide web. -
For Rusty, I'm cool with Ethan Embry or Anthony Michael Hall ...but for "aunt" Audrey, maybe Juliette Lewis? ...tho Marisol Nichols is pretty hot and would be the perfect pair for Ethan
-
Batshit crazy always makes for good reading!
-
Seriously, when will this remake/reboot/Unnecessary sequel shit end
-
Who in THE FUCK goes on a vacation for Halloween? That is just nutbag insane!I DO like the idea of a Florida vacation showing them retiring though. That's actually an excellent idea.But I think Chevy proved with Vegas Vacation that the divine spark he had back in teh day has been squashed. He's too old to do physical comedy and he's just not as quick witted as he used to be.I hate to say it, but I think this franchise's best hope is a remake. get Jim Carrey in there and a good script that isn't just a retread of the original and it could be awesome.
-
mev186, it will only end when Bale says it will end.
...and he's waiting for a remake of SPACEHUNTER 3D: ADVENTURES IN THE FORBIDDEN ZONE. -
The only reason Bale agreed to do TERMINATOR SALVATION was to get close to Michael Ironside and convince him to reprise his role as 'THE OVERDOG'.
-
...should be the title of this Vacation 5/reboot sequel.
A LOT of the sucess of the franchise should be attributed to Chase himself, the supporting cast, the WRITING, and also the historical time in which it was released. Any potential audience needs to be able to afford a decent vacation, and needs to have a clear sense that they could safely cross America by car before said audience would be able to connect with a film about same.
America isn't there right now, and for the next few years, middle class/mainstream americans have a lot more important concerns to deal with before returning to that mindset. Well, ok, it could do well on dvd and cable reruns, so an on-the-cheap version might work out financially. They need to have a really awesome concept in order for it to reinvigorate the franchise.
-
YES, WE ALL REMEMBER THAT HALL PLAYED RUSTY IN THE FIRST FILM YOU FUCKING MORON.
-
Pretty sure you will all shit on this idea, but I always thought if they were going to "reboot" the Vacation franchise, Will Ferrell would make a great Clark. Will has a fantastic deadpan delivery that reminds me of Chevy when he's not in spastic, over-the-top, "running around in his underwear" mode. Obviously he'd be too old to play Rusty, but I just thought I'd throw that out there.
-
SEE THE DIFFERENCE?
-
Bale also wanted James Cameron to direct but Big Jim said no. So Bale had a word with the FX studio and told 'em to make the Navi CGI really really shit so AVATAR flops and Big Jim will have no choice... but to remake SPACEHUNTER.
-
...HONESTLY. IS THERE ANYPLACE ON EARTH THAT I COULD GO TO GET AWAY FROM THIS FUCKING DOUCHEBAG?
-
There's a part for Will Ferrell in Bale's SPACEHUNTER remake. Bale didn't really want to cast him but when he found out it would piss TAINTLICK off he couldn't resist.
-
But only if they go in the "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" or "Little Miss Sunshine" style of humor.
-
I simply suggested it to chevy and he seemd interested, i'm not officially on the project. My idea wasn't exactly a vacation story but a movie about Clark having a halloween competition with the neighbours about who can have the scariest house on halloween, it would also coincide with a griswold family reunion that is supposed to be in Maine, but because Clark doesn't want to give up his neighborhood halloween bet, he convinces everyone to have the reunuion at the griswold house (much to the dismay of his imediate family). It could actually be funny and it would be a classic haloween comedy.but like i said, i'm not officially attached yet and it would all depend on if this new vacation movie was sucessfull, but chevy is pulling for it because he feels it would break the formula mold and add something new
-
But I'm sure your dream reincarnation of Chevy Chase found it very inspired.And Jet, a question: have you met Lord Bale, and did he fist you when you dared make eye contact with him?
-
Were awesome. Thanks for the employee discount, I hope you didn't spit in my Big Mac.
-
My most vivid memory of seeing the movie was when the mother angrily told the older lady what's her name to sit down and shut up. I suppose this was intended to make the audience cheer, but there was complete, dead silence during this point and when the older lady meekly did as she was told.
-
one of the Top Ten most fuckable women of the 20th Century. FACT!!!!!

This movie will have no connection with an audience without Chevy or Beverly. No Ferrell, but how about Farrell, Colin Farrell? Scarlett Johannson as Audrey, YES(she needs a role like this). Quaid should return too.
-
I'VE BREWED THIS BATCH MYSELF AND IT'S A WINNER. ALL YOU FUCKING NONCES IN THIS TB WON'T WANT TO MISS THIS.

-
Let's not forget some good moments there:
- "God, i miss Jack!" (as mentioned earlier by someone)
- "Dad, I think he's gonna pork her! He may pork her Russ" (as mentioned previously)
- The lederhosen dancing scene/fight which leads to the Griswold flight from germany
- Rusty and the german girl's boobs
- Griswolds fucking up Eric Idle repeatedly
- The scene on the train when all four intentionally irritate each other (Audrey blowing bubbles, Clark playing with the ash tray, Ellen rustling the newspaper, Rusty with his walkman)
- Audrey's nightmare about blowing up as she eats her ass off.
- Paris restaurant scene where the waiter bad motuhs the Griswolds who speak no French (ends with a shot of the cooks all opening up frozen meals instead of fresh food preparation)
- The old German couple's expressions when the Griswolds unwittingly crash at their house by mistake.
- When Rusty asks the artist girl he meets in Rome if she "wants to scraf some grimace proportions"! -
fuck proofreading!
-
---what-too soon?? Oh okay fine. HE'S JOEY FUCKING TRAVOLTA OKAY SO THERE
-
---we KNOW that the Great GaZoo has nothing but complete, TOTAL contempt for ANY and ALL Chevy Chase REMAKES!!!!! Shit soon they'll be putting up the production money for 'Modern Problems' and you just KNOw JettL there will try to snag the Dabney Colman role---

kind of on par with part 2, parts 1 and xmas being the 2 classics. Kind of like indy 2 and 4 being lesser but still great than 1 and 3, in some opinions.
-
Fucking professional is what I call that. And for the record, EUROPEAN VACATION was a lot of fun, but I doubt I'll ever watch it again.
-
My man from NYC. Talk about PROFESSIONAL. ; ) European is worth another watch, man. Vegas Vacation is one I find har to siut through, though I DO concur on your Audrey opinion there. Peace friends!
-
That should have read:
"Vegas Vacation is one I find harD to SIT through, though I DO concur on your Audrey opinion there." -
and Audrey being clumsy were the best parts of Vegas Vacation, Clark and Ellen were fine and the cameos were good, Eddie and his wife, Christy Brinkley, the dude from princess bride, it was solid.
-
just because Marisol Nichols was in it. Sure, the TV was on mute, but good golly is she smokin'. If all white people took a Mexican partner, the glorious children that would come from such unions would be... a golden age for mankind.
-
Merry Christmas.

Crap.

But wait till you watch it. Really, the first was classic, Christmas and Euro were funny. Vegas was shit, except for the dam joke.
"If that cat had 9 lives, Clark, you just spent em all!" -
Grandpa Griswold wanting to take their grandkids on a similiar vacation to what they took their own kids on. It'd be much funnier having Chase try to relate to his grandkids than a carbon copy with Rusty filling Clark's shoes

Really, I know a lot of people like it, but me, I just cringe at a lot of it. It's not even a vacation movie. it's just a different story.

Just, no.

And I want to look him straight in the eye, and I want to tell him what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey shit he is! Hallelujah! Holy shit...where's the Tylenol?

He's cute ain't he? Only problem is, he's got a little bit a Mississippi leg hound in 'im. If the mood catches him right, he'll grab your leg and just go to town. You don't want him around if your wearing short pants, if you know what I mean. Word of warning though, if he does lay into ya, it's best to just let 'im finish. Ok I watched Christmas Vacation a little too much...
-
Fuck it...I'd download it. Could be worse, they could be trying to make a sequel to JUST the X-mas Vacation flick, starting Randy Quai...oh...wait...shit.
-
That it would be better with "Clark" having (at the very least) a big supporting role in the movie. Screw Rusty.
-
and we're gonna have fun!
We're gonna have so much fucking fun, we're gonna need plastic surgery to remove the goddamn smiles!! -
For real. I heard it from Beverly who heard it from Eugene who heard it from Tony. Just saying- the word is out.

Perhaps Rusty has Perfect vacation not screwed by his dad
by george newman
Rusty always had the best luck and Chevy would always likely spoil it. Now Rusty can have a thrilling vacation free of cockblocks
-
Have the Griswald's go on vacation to New Orleans right before Katrina hits."Dad, what are we going to do with Granma's corpse?""Well Russ, she's too wet for firewood, but we can use her as a raft. She would have wanted that.""But dad, those helicopters are airlifting people.""That's just for the suckers Russ. You wouldn't want to cheat yourself of all this adventure would you?""Wave to the President kids." *plane flies overhead*
-
One of the funniest comedies EVER, if not THE funniest.
Here's to hoping that we don't get a Blues Brothers 2000 type of shitfest. -
... a solid script is paramount to having a good movie. I wouldn't abandon "reboot" so quickly. Many have tried to recapture the magic of the original vacation. Those Ice Cube and Robin Williams' flicks, but script was lacking. Find a new clark, let them trek across country to wally world. Gotta keep it simple, folks.
-
He's a talkbacker who first showed up here (at least with that handle) in early 2007 claiming to have "insider info" on Indy IV when it was just starting pre-production. I haven't paid his dumb ass any attention since he was proven a big fat phoney, but he's been sleezing around here since then. I guess probably fishing for suckers who will suck up his bullshit stories and make him feel self-important.
-
couldn't agree more
-
I won't care about it
-
if you have ever 'bated to Bev
(hand goes up) -
And as Irwin Fletcher.
-
Check out Brotherhood, there ain't no way he's going back to comedy now. The guy is kicking far too much ass elsewhere. He is terrific though.
-
That multiple Rusty's is stupid stupid stupid and the only way that this would live up to the other ones is to have Anthony Michael Hall back as Rusty?! I can't believe some people are agreeing to multiple Rusty's...awful.
-
Looks like you copied and pasted most of my comment and added Rehab Center to the end. Mind clarifying?
-
The original has so much going for it that it could carry this if they really do right by it and really do it as sort of an homage. It could also be a steaming turd.. I'll wait to see what they come up with.
-
Bated to Bev?
Raises left hand. Right is busy. -
I'm just trying to rack my brain now as to who might fill Bev's part in this modern day and age.
That particular mix of sluttiness and motherliness.
Maybe Salma Hayek? Any other ideas? -
both have nice tits
-
That shit is mad funny. (All hail JettL! May he live forever!)
Oh, and whoever made that community college crack was fucking hilarious, too!

I simply suggested it to chevy and he seemd interested, i'm not officially on the project."I motherfucking am laughing so hard I'm fucking drooling on my keyboard!!! Oh, shit, dude! OMG! These are real tears I'm crying!Once again..."as i said, my halloween vacation was an idea not a script

I simply suggested it to chevy and he seemd interested, i'm not officially on the project."Oh, fuck!!!! I have it figured out! JettL93 is a super-powered robot assassin from the future who's come back to make me laugh so fucking hard I choke to death.Well played, JettL93! Well played! -
"[B]ut like i said, i'm not officially attached yet..."Oh, JettL93, you may not be officially "attached" but you're definitely "a-touched" (in the head).Of course, Chevy "is pulling for it because he feels it would break the formula mold and add something new." A new level of crazy perhaps?I really cannot imagine any reason for these posts at all. None. The only logical conclusion is that this guy is here to make us laugh so hard we swallow our own tongues. Think about it. Watch your six.
-
get her to be played by the chick who played her in Vegas Vacation, and have her fully nude and chowing down on Cousin Eddie's daughter ... to be played by Zooey Deschanel. Either that or invent a time machine and bring teenage Dana Barron back to play the role - always thought she was cute.
-
it's been expressed that Beverly D'Angelo was a hot mom who excellently portrayed Ellen Griswold in the original films. The question is who can fill her shoes i the new film? It has also been expressed that at least a few of us here have a fondness for Marisol Nichols as Audrey (from Vegas Vacation). Instead of arguing which Rusty (Rusties?) should be in a new Vacation, let's solve the problems by making this new film not about an adult Rusty, but about an adult Adurey, played by Marisol Nichols and kill two birds with one stone.
-
Is Robin gonna be in this flick, Jett?
-
Have Chevy and Big tits D'Angelo back as the grandparents. Cousin Eddy's kid, some old relative who can die a third into it. Of course, Anthony Michael Hall back as Rusty...box-office gold, motherfuckers.
-
Set in the 1970s, College spring break in Florida, throw in a younger cousin Eddie, Chevy Cameo as his characters own father. Might be funny. I'm happy with the first 3 though. "You ever bop yer bologna?"
-
to Wally World before it is closed.
-
Jane Krakowski/Cousin Vicki.
-
finky089 has just mentioned the best part of European Vacation
-
it made me want to go to Europe when i was a kid. I always hate that it gets edited whenever I see it on TV
-
I had forgotten about that line until I recently re-watched Vacation. It's still funny, but the weird thing I don't remember ever noticing about that part is the kid says to Rusty "This guy I know taught me something really cool last year." Now, i know that Eddie and his whole family are more than a little dysfunctional, but I never caught that before.
-
...are VACATION and PEE WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE. If the new VACATION movie approaches any of the same level of cross-country U.S. cultural humor, I will be happy. "I remember... the Alamo."
-
Since when do you get a vacation at the end of October? See, Jett, you can't just slap on any old holiday in front of Vacation and make it work. I found this out when I was at a dinner party with Chevy Chase and brought up the idea for National Lampoon's Columbus Day Vacation.
-
Stick with my idea of having the grandparents take the kids. It'll be Clark's idea because Wally World is in bankruptcy and will be closing soon for rennovations under the new management, make it a rich middle eastern company buying it and renaming it. So, Clark wants to take the grandkid's on the same trip he took his family on because he remembers how close it brought them all. They'll stick to the same path they took last time to keep the memories alive, which would result in similiar jokes, but with new twists, hopefully.That's an updated Vacation I think I could tolerate. Just don't give me any of this Next Generation, When Harry Met Lloyd, Ace Ventura Jr, Son of the Mask, Van Wilder: Freshman Year bullshit.
-
Rusty need to marry someone who reminds him of his mother. I say get Amy Poehler. Or cast Amy Poehler as Audrey and focus the new movie on her.
-
The whole Family Vacation idea, sounds like the best idea yet.
-
aw yeah
-
Would have to be the cheap casino, where Clark can't even get a break, playing Rock, Paper Scissors, War, or Pick A Number Between 1 and 10.
