Quest for Fun Halted: The 'Vacation' Reboot is Delayed

Warner Bros. Warner Bros.

Hope you weren't already packed up and ready to visit the theater for that "National Lampoon's Vacation" reboot because the weather report on the project just took a turn for the worse.

Oh no, Sparky!

Just a month ago, New Line was able to wrangle in series old-timers Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo for a much-needed cameo in the film. The reboot would star Ed Helms as their all-grown-up son Rusty and Christina Applegate as his wife, but apparently that wasn't quite enough to move the project forward. Get More »

Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo to Cameo in New 'Vacation' Flick

Warner Bros. Warner Bros.

Without Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo there is no "Vacation," folks.

Audreys and Rustys tended to come and go (as Old Navy reminded us this winter) over the years, but Clark and Ellen kept the family afloat all four movies. So, major snaps to the gang trying to reboot these tales of traveling woes for wrangling in the duo for a cameo. Get More »

What, was Anthony Michael Hall not available?

Russell 'Rusty' Griswold is all grown up and looking a lot like Ed Helms as the "Hangover" star will be hitting the holiday road this summer to shoot a new sequel to "National Lampoon's Vacation."

Rusty is, of course, the son of original "Vacation" patriarch Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase), a character played by no less than four different actors in previous "Vacation" installments: Anthony Michael Hall in "Vacation" (1983), Jason Lively in "European Vacation" (1985), Johnny Galecki in "Christmas Vacation" (1989) and Ethan Embry in "Vegas Vacation" (1997). In this new "Vacation," he'll be taking his own family on a road trip that's bound to have a few ... complications. Get More »

'The Hangover Part 3' Trailer Teases Danger in the Desert

The first teaser trailer for Todd Phillipps' "The Hangover Part III" has finally dropped, just like that roof-top roofie batch that kicked this whole thing into hilarious gear almost four years ago.

Before this, all we had was that hellishly vague synopsis which read, "This time, there's no wedding. No bachelor party. What could go wrong, right? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off."

Thanks to the new vid, though, a couple of things are now clear. Get More »

Heads Up Tijuana! 'The Hangover Part III' Party Is Headed Your Way

The Hangover Part II
Warner Bros.

After all that debauchery in Las Vegas for "The Hangover" and the following ruckus in Bangkok for the sequel, we've been really scratching our heads over where Todd Phillips and his wolfpack trio will head to next for "The Hangover Part III." Turns out, they'll be taking a trip to Tijuana.

According to Life & Style Mag, the Mexican city has been plucked to host "one wild week" for the boys — Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms and Bradley Cooper — while Las Vegas will be used again for the "crazy scenes." Otherwise, the movie will be shot mostly on location in Los Angeles. Get More »

'Hangover' Star Ed Helms To Release a Bluegrass Album

You can try coffee, Alka-Seltzer, or a Bloody Mary, but to recover from his "Hangover," actor Ed Helms likes to unwind playing Appalachian-style bluegrass music. While it may seem like a weird vanity project or attempt to give his pal Steve Martin a run for his money, Dr. Stu Price can actually pluck a mean banjo.

Ed Helms and the Lonesome Trio started as he and Oberlin College classmates Jacob Tilove and Ian Riggs began pickin' tunes for fun in their dorm, but now two decades later they're making it official as The Hollywood Reporter says the group will cut an actual bona fide album. Get More »

'Jeff, Who Lives at Home' Gives Slackers a Purpose

Jeff, Who Lives at Home
Paramount

Jeff (Jason Segel) is a 30-year-old man living in his mom's basement. He doesn't work, and all his mom wants is for him to fix a broken wooden blind. He just wants to smoke a lot of pot and watch his favorite movie, M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs."

Writer-directors (and brothers!) Jay and Mark Duplass are best known as part of the Mumblecore generation, producing low-budget films with amateur actors, using loads of handheld shakycam. They garnered enough attention that they could cast name actors in their 2010 film, "Cyrus." Now, with their new movie "Jeff, Who Lives at Home," they've graduated to even higher-profile fare. There's a reason these two indie-turned-studio-filmmakers are in demand now: They know how to tell a good story, and they do so again with the sweetly comic "Jeff."  Get More »
