New Vacation Trailer – Ed Helms & Chevy Chase try to have a holiday

June 4, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Vacation-Main-PosterSynopsis: 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 “favorite 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. [Read more…]

Vacation Red Band Trailer – Chris Hemsworth has something big in his pant to show us (NSFW)

May 7, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Vacation-Teaser-PosterWhen the trailer for the Vacation reboot was unveiled to a select audience at Cinemacon that main thing that people mentioned was how it featured Chris Hemsworth’s massive, ahem, package (or at least his massive prosthetic). Now we can take a peek for ourselves – although as you’ve probably guessed this red band trailer in NSFW – as well as the return of Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo, as they join son Rusty (Ed Helms) and his family on a new trip.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The next generation of Griswolds is at it again. “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.

Will Chris Hemsworth’s Manhood Be The Biggest Star Of This Summer’s Movies?

April 24, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Thor-Chris-HemsworthHe’s often shown off his impressive torso and Rush gave us a look at Chris Hemsworth’s perfectly toned butt, but it seems that the upcoming Vacation will give us a peek at what we’ve all wanted to see, Thor’s hammer. Well, sort of.

Reports have come out of CinemaCon, that the trailer for the upcoming Vacation reboot that was shown at the event included a scene where Hemsworth shows off a truly massive penis, according to MTV.

The peen’s reportedly gargantuan size means it’s almost certainly a prosthetic, but we’re sure it’s still very nice to see.

To be honest I kind of hope it is fake, as the world would be a very unfair place if someone like Hemsworth was that good looking, had a body that impressive, earned millions of dollars as a movie star, and also had an enormous willy.

Hopefully the footage will show up online soon, but if not we should be able to see Hemsworth sort-of full frontal scene when Vacation reaches cinemas in July.

Chevy Chase Is Joined By Ed Helms In The First Pics From The Vacation Reboot

April 14, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

vacation-pic1It’s been a while since we had a Vacation movie. There were four between 1983 and 1997, and then in 2010 came Hotel Hell Vacation, although the less said about that the better. However now the series is returning from straight-to-DVD hell for a full-on reboot, with Chevy Chase and Beverly Beverly D’Angelo returning as Clark and Ellen Griswold.

However the focus now is on the their fully grown son Rusty (now played by Ed Helms), who has a family of his own that are all ready to get into all manner of holiday chaos.

With a July release set the first images from the movie have now arrived, which you can see above and below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The next generation of Griswolds is at it again—and on the road for another ill-fated adventure. Following in his father’s footsteps and hoping for some much-needed family bonding, a grown-up Rusty Griswold (Ed Helms) surprises his wife, Debbie (Christina Applegate), and their two sons with a cross-country trip back to America’s “favorite family fun park,” Walley World.’

Chris Hemsworth & Charlie Day Heading Off On Vacation

August 26, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Chris-HemsworthEven though it has seemed close to going into production, back in April 2013 New Line put an indefinite delay on its long-planned reboot of the Vacation franchise. However now it seems it’s getting back on track, with THR reporting that Chris Hemsworth and Charlie Day are in talks to star.

Ed Helms is still onboard to play Rusty Griswold, the adult son of Chevy Chase’s Clark Griswold from the original Vacation movies. As you might expect, the new film involves another vacation, this time involving Rusty and his wife (Christina Applegate).

Hemsworth will apparently play the boyfriend of Rusty’s sister Audrey, with Charlie Day as a river raft touring guide.

Last year both Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo were both signed on to reprise their roles as the older Griswolds, but it’s not clear if they’re still involved.

It seems the film will start shooting fairly soon, with Hemsworth squeezing it in between Avengers: Age Of Ultron and The Huntsman, which is due to start shooting in early 2015.

John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein are set to direct, working from their own script.

Vacation Reboot Shoot Gets Delayed Over Creative Differences

April 24, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

National-Lampoons-VacationIt took a long time to get from the initial idea of bringing the Vacation series of films back to the big screen to the movie actually preparing to shoot this summer. However now a spanner has been thrown in the works, as THR reports that New Line Cinema is delaying production, so that the movie will no longer start filming in Atlanta this July.

It’s unclear how long the delay will be, as while one source indicates the delay may only be a couple of months long, another suggests that the start of principal photography may be pushed until late this year. That may be problematic though, as The Incredible Burt Wonderstone writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein are making their directorial debut from their own screenplay. However Daley is better known as Sweets in Bones, and if the shoot in pushed to the autumn his acting commitments will clash with his directing plans.

Sources claim that creative differences are to blame for the delay, with some involved wanting to make this a broader PG-13 movie, while others want an R-rated comedy, like the original Vacation.

Ed Helms and Christina Applegate are attached to star as Rusty Griswold and his wife, with Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo also set to cameo as Clark Griswold and Ellen Grisworld.

Hopefully the problems will get sorted out and we’ll finally get to see the movie.

Chevy Chase & Beverly D’Angelo Officially In Talks For Vacation Reboot

March 29, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

chevy-chaseEver since the idea of a Vacation reboot/sequel surfaced, there’s been talk of Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo joining, once more playing Clark and Ellen Grisworld. Now, with Ed Helms and Christina Applegate officially attached as Clark’s son Rusty Griswold and his wife, the original actors have entered talks to reprise their roles as Griswold grandparents in the movie, according to Variety.

Ed Helms stars as Rusty Griswold, who takes his wife (Christina Applegate) and children on their first road trip family vacation, which we’re presuming will be as eventful as the ones he went on as a kid. Along the way, they make a pit stop to see Rusty’s mom and dad, Clark and Ellen Griswold (Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo).

Chase and D’Angelo starred as the Griswold parents in 1983’s Vacation, 1985’s European Vacation, 1989’s Christmas Vacation, and 1997’s Vegas Vacation. They also starred in a recent series of Old Navy commercials, along with all of the actors who played their children throughout the franchise.

John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein are making their directorial debuts on the project, working from their own screenplay.

Christina Applegate Going On Vacation, Playing Ed Helms’ Wife

March 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

christina-applegateChristina Applegate is currently back in the world of Anchorman shooting The Legend Continues, and now she’s got another comedy up her sleeves, as he is in final talks to join the cast of New Line Cinema’s Vacation reboot, alongside Ed Helms, according to THR.

The story is essentially a hybrid of a sequel and a reboot, with Ed Helms portraying a grown-up Rusty Griswold, who takes his family on a vacation to Walley World, just like his childhood trip portrayed in 1983’s Vacation. Christina Applegate will play Rusty’s wife who may be losing interest in her husband.

Rusty Griswold was portrayed by various different actors in the original franchise, including Anthony Michael Hall in Vacation, Jason Lively in European Vacation, Johnny Galecki in Christmas Vacation, and Ethan Embry in Vegas Vacation. There’s also been talk of Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo returning for the movie, but so far this hasn’t been confirmed.

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein will make their directorial debuts with the movie, working from their own screenplay. It isn’t known when shooting will begin.
