Ed Helms to lead rebooted Vacation franchise?

The Office and Hangover star Ed Helms may follow in Chevy Chase‘s shoes and lead the upcoming reboot of the Vacation franchise.

According to Perez Hilton, Helms is at the top of a wishlist (presumably, the producers’) to play Clark’s son Rusty Griswold.

In this new iteration, Rusty takes a leaf out of his father’s book and attempts to bond with his own family on the holiday road.

Horrible Bosses‘ screenwriters John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein will pen the feature.

Discuss: Can you see Helms playing the befuddled Griswold patriarch?
