According to The Hollywood Reporter, New Line Cinema is planning a sequel to the 1983 comedy National Lampoon’s Vacation. The film will focus on Clark Griswold’s son, Rusty, who is now a father and takes his family on a road trip.

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.

The other piece of interesting news mentioned is Wedding Crashers director David Dobkin will produce and possibly direct the film. This is good news when you consider the good response Wedding Crashers received and how the Vacation movies hit rock bottom with Vegas Vacation. New Line seems committed to making this a good movie and realized just how bad the previous movie was.

New Line is taking meetings with writers this week, hoping to make a movie that skews more toward “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” or “Little Miss Sunshine” than “RV” or “Are We There Yet?”

I thought Vegas was funny. All of them are. It's comedy. They weren't trying to win an Oscar.

Of course it was a comdey. The first three were cleverly funny. Vegas was a different type of funny. Like stupid funny but failed miserably in comparison with the others.

I think it will be great if the do this. They need Chevy and Beverly to have more than a cameo roll to make it a proper vacation movie though. I think Anthony Michael Hall or Johnny Galecki should get the part as Rusty, both were very funny in their roles. I always thought it would be a shame to end the franchise with the very poor xmas vacation 2, and this, if they can tie down the household name actors/actresses will be excellent.
