Christina 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.

While actors and directors come and go from movies all the time before they start shooting, it’s very unusual for a director simply to not turn up for the first day of shooting.
