VACTN - John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein says 2nd draft just done, looking for director/actor - Collider
What stage is the development of Vacation in and what made you want to revisit that?
DALEY: Right now, we are looking for an actor and a director, at this point. We’ve just finished a second draft of it. New Line seems to be very excited about it, and we jumped at the chance to work on it, when New Line presented it to us, because everyone from our generation, and generations before and after us, are big fans of the Vacation franchise, whether it just be the first film or the sequels. We wanted to preserve that fondness that people have for it, but also create a new thing for the reboot.
GOLDSTEIN: It has to be a movie that can stand on its own, if you aren’t overly familiar with the original, but also could pay homage to it, in some respect, so we tried to walk that line. It was a lot of fun to write. It’s a road movie, in the tradition of the originals. Tonally, it’s maybe a little more grounded and more Planes, Trains and Automobiles, we’d like to think. Right now, it’s one we’re excited about. Hopefully, that will be a project that will get going next year, most likely.
