Rusty Griswold’s Vacation Confirmed!
Posted by Rodneyon 11. 02. 2010in News Chat
More than a decade after the last film, we are finally getting to see the Griswold’s back on the big screen. And just as speculated, this will be a passing of the torch to the next generation as Rusty Griswold – now grown up with a family of his own – will venture across the country in his own Family Vacation.
The studio has hired writing team Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley to write a new Vacation flick, which will focus on Rusty Griswold, the son of Chevy Chase’s heroic buffoon, Clark W. Griswold.Now all grown up, Rusty decides to follow in his father’s footsteps and take his family on a trip to Walley World – the same quest that preoccupied Clark in the original, Harold Ramis-directed Vacation, back in 1983.
We heard that this was the plan, but now it is official. The return of the Cruiser Wagon for the Homeaway ads and cameos of an older Chevy Chase and Beverly DiAngelo playing the Griswold ‘rents were hinting towards this revival.
While some sites are calling this a reboot, its more accurately another sequel. Canon has always been loose in this unlucky family’s vacation planning, but it always works out in the end.
I hope this has that same crude humour the originals shared. And with Wedding Crashers’s director David Dobkin producing this next generation, I think it just might.
I would like to see a return of an old Rusty as in the four previous films he was never once played by the same actor. Anthony Michael Hall, Jason Lively, Johnny Galecki and Ethan Embry all filled the Rusty role.
I love Galecki, but I would rather see Anthony Michael Hall reprise his role to carry this torch to WalleyWorld!!

Anthony Michael Hall should definitely be the Rusty to carry the torch – but I would be just fine with Ethan Embry or Jonathan Galecki. I just hope they don’t make him out to be a dolt like Clark – do something fresh with him, maybe turn is wife into the dolt, or something.
Anthony Michael Hall !!!!
F-Yeah..
but he’s shaper than his old man
Sharper..
I think it would be hilarious to have a cameo with ALL the previous Rustys. Maybe they are playing poker or something.
This film will be NOTHING if it doesn have Chevy “the legend” Chase in it!
hahah i think chevy destroyed his comedic legend with his aweful movies and late night show…..butman if he could just capture his ways like in fletch then we all would be happy
If it wants to be faithful to the originals, then he needs a hot wife who gets her boobs out.
Suggestions?
Kim Kardashian in the hotel pool (ala Christie Brinkley)
for DeAngelo I would say…………Scarlet Johanson!
If this movie is to be successful, You MUST have Anthony Michael Hall as Rusty. And you need Chevy, which is a done deal. Pay Anthony Michael Hall what he wants, he is epic, and was clearly a highlight of the original. I agree though he was smarter than his Dad in the original, so you have to find a new twist on it. This should be good, but has to be Anthony Michael Hall as Rusty.
