The news of your Vacation remake is interesting — and a little unsettling!
When my friends found out about it, they’d very seriously take me aside and say, “Don’t screw this up.” It’s kind of like Photoshopping someone’s family album, in a way. You have to be careful not to destroy their fondest memories. But frankly, I don’t think the sequels were all that great. [Laughs.] As long as we keep the thing you love about the first movie, the relatability of a family road trip and the lovable father figure of Chevy Chase , [except] now it’s Rusty taking his kids to Walley World. I think you see your own similarities to your habits in him. You relate to the father. And the mother as well. I think we wrote a relatively funny script. I think it has a chance to be reborn for a new generation.
