The ‘Vacation’ reboot is now in production and there is a casting call out for a featured family.
The show is filming in Atlanta, georgia and is hoping to cast a local family that consists of a mom, dad and 2 or 3 kids between the ages of 9 and 15.
The family cast needs to have a family vehicle such as an SUV that will also be used in the scene. The scene is scheduled to film at the end of the month on the 30th but those interested need to apply ASAP because pictures must be sent to the film’s directors for selection.
‘Vacation‘ will be directed by John Francis Daley (‘Horrible Bosses‘) and Jonathan Goldstein (‘Horrible Bosses‘), both of whom also wrote the script for the film. Chris Bender, David Dobkin and Jeff Kleeman are producing the New Line / Warner Bros. film.
The Griswolds will be taking another family vacation but this time it will be Rusty Griswolds family taking the trip. Ed Helms will star as Rusty and Christina Applegate is cast to play Debbie Griswold, his wife. Chris Hemsworth and Charlie Day are also part of the cast. Chris Hemsworth will be playing Audrey’s husband Stone, an anchorman and Day be their river rafting guide. Chevy Chase and Beverly D-Angelo are expected to make cameo appearences in the new ‘Vacation‘ movie.
