Some of you may or may not remember the Griswold family or the Vacation movies starring Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold. Now we have a new “Vacation” movie and here is the first red band trailer. Ed Helms stars as Rusty Griswold, who is the son of Chevy Chase’s character from the originals, and is now taking his family on their own trip to Walley World, the destination of the original. Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo both make an appearance as their characters. Initially I had some reservations about the film but then it was announced that this would not be a reboot and that Ed Helms would play the lead along with Christina Applegate, I felt a little bit better with the casting news as Helms and Applegate are both fun to watch. Now after this trailer, I am on board. The ladies will enjoy a special appearance by Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth.
It’s good to see them address the concern of people comparing Vacation films by having Ed Helms let us know that this Vacation film will stand on its own.
