Ed Helms as Rusty Griswold with a new family of vacation shennaigans. I am sure there will be a Chevy Chase cameo. They should have brought back Anthony Michael Hall

I like having a different actor play Rusty. There a different one in each Vacation movie, so continue that.

Could be funny.

I'll keep an eye on this pending other casting moves. Could be funny.

while i agree with douchebag that this is BAD, didn't anthony michael hall play rusty griswold in at least one of these movies?

i wanna say it was european vacation where he gave us one of those timeless lines in cinematic history



but yeah, any vehicle for the zaniness of ed helms is doomed to crash and burn. Ed Helms maximized his usefulness in the first hangover, but by the second one it was such schtick coma that you just.... fell in a coma. Hangover 2 was aggressively bad insomuchas it found new and innovative ways to just suck hard around every bend. The people who made the hangover were feeling themselves like they were masturbating and the result was a self-indulgent pile of pap that sounded good as they wrote it and went home to their trophy wives in their mansions, prolly cuz they were surrounded with yes men who would never dare say a critical thing about the heaving helping of hooey that they were writing.

that said, can't wait for hangover 3! they're prolly gonna go "back to the basics" that made the hangover a timeless comedy classic! MORE NAKED KEN JEONG PLEASE!

oh yeah and of course, regarding this movie to stay OT let's go with the timeless words of @GayJoff670 (props to whichever of you made that account. you nailed it!)

Is this movie the final John Hughes script project?

Continuing the series is not a bad thing but this is not the right guy to cast. Most of the vacation movies are ones that can be watched over and over again as time goes on. By casting Helms they are basically looking to make a buck today for a piece of shit now one will ever watch years from now.

I heard he wanted Heath Ledger for the role.

I think Macaulay Culkin is still around.

Worse "schtick coma", Ed Helms or Benjy Bronk? GO!

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

Why, on god's green earth would they want to ruin this movie? Can't Hollywood come up with a original idea?

I could deal with Seth Green being Rusty but fuck no do I want to see Helms butcher this priceless gem of a series.
