Yup, the Griswolds are back...

It looks like the Wagon Queen Family Truckster will be coming out of storage.  Variety is reporting that New Line is planning to bring back the National Lampoon's Vacation movie series (although minus the "National Lampoon" tag this time around). 

The new movie, directed by Seth Gordon (The King of Kong), will again feature the Griswolds, the family literally incapable of getting through a vacation or holiday without all hell breaking lose.  This time it will be a now-grown Rusty Griswold driving his own family cross-country to Wally World, the same destination from the original 1983 film (which, of course, wound up being closed for maintainence when they finally arrived). 

 Seems Wally World is about to close and Rusty wishes to pass on his childhood vacation memories to his own children, hopefully minus the body count and hostage taking from his first trip to the amusement park. 

What am I saying?  Hopefully this trip will have an equal amount of disaster and dead relatives strapped to the luggage rack as the first film did.

Casting is not confirmed, but the script, which is being written by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, is intended to also include Clark and Ellen Griswold, who are now grandparents. 

Neither Chevy Chase or Beverly D'Angelo are attached yet, but seeing as how both recently reprised their roles in a Superbowl ad, it sounds like there's a good chance they'll be back.  I think it's high time for a classic Clark Griswold breakdown moment again.  It's been far too long.
