The "Vacation" reboot has been filming in Atlanta for a while now. This time Atlanta native Ed Helms is in the driver's seat, as a grown-up Rusty Griswold who decides to take the family on a road trip like they did back in the day.

Vacay 2.0 evidently includes a stop at the old home place, as Helms posted this great photo with Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo the other day: "Always great to see mom and dad."

We're told Chevy and Beverly played cameo roles and won't have to stick around for the entire production. But, it looks like they had fun during their time here!

BTW we interviewed Helms a while back, to discuss a different project. Super nice guy! Here's that interview.
