New Line Cinema's plan to bring the Griswolds back to the big screen has hit a snag. The studio is said to have temporarily shut down their reboot/sequel of National Lampoon's Vacation over creative differences.
Vacation was set to star Ed Helms as Rusty Griswold and Christina Applegate as his wife, with Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo reprising their roles as Rusty's parents Clark and Ellen. The story would have seen the now-adult Rusty take his own family on a road trip.
Filming was to have begun this July in Atlanta under the direction of writers John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, who were to have made their feature helming debut on the film. It's unclear whether they'll remain aboard the project now.
THR claims "the cause of the stoppage is creative differences, with some wanting to make a broader, PG-13 movie, while others want to keep it R-rated, like the original. One source says the delay will last only a few months, but others say the movie could be pushed to later this year.
