Leslie Mann joins Ed Helms and Christina Applegate for the "Vacation" remake, which will do some filming in Atlanta. It's in Tucker today, at a restaurant in Atlanta's Westside area tomorrow, and plans call for an upcoming multi-day shoot in Midtown that will no doubt do wonders for traffic.
Variety also reports the movie will film in Louisiana. I wouldn't be surprised if other locations are added. (It's a movie about a vacation, after all.)
Also from Variety:
Mann will play Rusty's sister Audrey Griswold, who was played by Dana Barron in the 1983 original. Skyler Gisondo and Steele Stebbins have been tapped as Rusty Griswold's sons in the reboot and Chris Hemsworth and Charlie Day are in negotiations to appear.
Chase and Beverly D'Angelo, who played Clark Griswold's wife in the original, are on board to appear. Chris Bender and David Dobkin are producing. Jeff Kleeman is exec producing."
The reboot will be in Atlanta for a couple of months. The most recent casting calls for extras seeks young folks. Here's the info:
