The next generation of Griswolds is at it again. New Line Cinema’s 'Vacation', starring Ed Helms ('The Hangover' films) and Christina Applegate (the 'Anchorman' films), takes the family on the road for another ill-fated adventure. The film marks Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley’s directorial debut.
Following in his father’s footsteps and hoping for some much-needed family bonding, a grown-up Rusty Griswold (Helms) surprises his wife, Debbie (Applegate), and their two sons with a cross-country trip back to America’s “favourite family fun park,” Walley World.
Rounding out the cast are Leslie Mann ('The Other Woman') as Rusty’s sister Audrey; Chris Hemsworth (the 'Thor' films) in the role of Stone Crandall, Rusty’s irritatingly successful brother-in-law; and Skyler Gisondo ('Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb', 'Hard Sell') and Steele Stebbins ('A Haunted House 2'), who play Rusty’s sons, James and Kevin. Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo reprise their roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold from the classic 'Vacation' comedies.
Goldstein & Daley ('Horrible Bosses', 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2') wrote the script, based on characters created by John Hughes. David Dobkin (upcoming 'The Judge', 'Wedding Crashers') and Chris Bender ('We’re the Millers', 'Horrible Bosses 2') are producing, with Marc S. Fischer and Jeff Kleeman serving as executive producers.
The directors’ behind-the-scenes creative team also includes director of photography Barry Peterson (the Jump Street films, 'We’re the Millers'), production designer Barry Robison (Wedding Crashers', 'Pitch Perfect'), and costume designer Debra McGuire ('Ted').
'Vacation' is a New Line Cinema presentation. Set to hit cinemas August 21, 2015, it will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment company.
