Chevy Chase And Beverly D’Angelo To Return In ‘Vacation’ Reboot

Griswold fans, are you ready for some fantastic news? Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo are returning for the Vacation reboot. That said, we guess it’s safe to say that the Ed Helms starring reboot is actually happening.

Last week we reported that Christina Applegate might play Ed Helms’ wife in the reboot, and that the odds were looking promising of a return for Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo. Now it looks like at least one of those tidbits can be confirmed. Clark “Sparky” Griswold and his wife Ellen are returning for more family fun.

Beverly D’Angelo and Chevy Chase will be reprising their roles as Rusty’s clueless but hilarious parents. While this reboot will be centered around a grown up Rusty (Ed Helms), we’re sure Clark will get himself into a few foot in mouth situations. It will be interesting to see how the new Mrs. Griswold (presumably Christina Applegate) will get along with the parents. Rumor has it that in this series Rusty’s wife may or may not be interested in leaving him.

While the details of the plot may seem a bit shaky right now, all that matters is that Clark and Ellen are back. For those who are fans of the Vacation series, we’ve already experienced them in a number of hilarious adventures, from a cross-country road trip to Christmas hysteria and vacations to Europe and Vegas, the Griswolds have been through it all. Seeing an aged Clark and Ellen Griswold deal with their son’s marital problems is sure to be a trip.

The last Vacation film was 16 years ago, and Rusty was last played by Ethan Embry for the Vegas Vacation installment, while sister Audrey was played by Marisol Nichols. So far there’s still no word on whether or not Audrey will complete the fab four but we’re hoping.

It looks like a pretty promising reboot anyway. Writer of Horrible Bosses, John Francis Daley, is slated to take the lead on this film.
