Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo, who co-starred in all of the National Lampoon’s Vacation movies, have been working on developing a project at ABC where they would again be a married couple, but, this time, would have to deal with their grandkids.

8 months ago, when the project was announced, there was no writer. Now, Brad Copeland has been set as the writer as ABC has made a script commitment to the project.

If this gets a greenlight, we wonder if there would be any crossover or recognition of the Vacation reboot with Ed Helms.

The Griswolds and their vacation ordeals are getting the reboot treatment as New Line is reviving the Vacation film franchise made famous by Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo.

As of now, Ed Helms is set to play a grown-up Rusty Griswold taking the helm in having a family trip go off the rails. The addition of Christina Applegate as well as Charlie Day and Chris Hemsworth,who are in negotiations to join the cast, round out what could be a nice continuation of the Griswold saga.

Jason Sudeikis to Star as Fletch in ‘Fletch Won’

In a reboot of the original landmark Chevy Chase vehicle, Jason Sudeikis picks up the role of Fletch. We had no idea that a new Fletch was in the works, but it’s not surprising that Hollywood would be doing another remake.

Still, with that said, Sudeikis might do well for Fletch Won.

Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo Book ABC Comedy Pilot

There isn’t really any vacationing according to the description of the pilot, but that still doesn’t take away from the hope that a Griswold reunion could bring about since Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo are together again for this ABC comedy pilot.

Let’s hope that it’s more like Vegas Vacation and less like Modern Family since ABC has that Modern Family base covered..
