Starring "The Office" actor Ed Helms and "Anchorman" actress
Christina Applegate, the film sees the Griswolds on the road
again as an adult Rusty follows in his father's footsteps with
an adventurous cross-country trip back to Walley World.
"There are a lot of conceptual elements that overlap but
story-wise and joke-wise this is a really new endeavor," Helms
said at the film's premiere in Los Angeles on Monday night.
"The character of Rusty Griswold as an adult is brand new so it
really felt like a clean slate in a lot of ways."
The original 1983 comedy hit starred Chevy Chase and Beverly
D'Angelo, who reprise their roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold.
The movie also stars "Thor" actor Chris Hemsworth and "This is
40" actress Leslie Mann.
"We are not re-doing, rebooting, having the audacity of trying
to improve upon anything," Applegate said.
"We are completely different people, we're like a distant
cousin. We just want people to have an enjoyable ride."
"Vacation" is released in U.S. cinemas on Wednesday.
