Ed Helms in Talks to Play Rusty Griswold in 'Vacation'

It appears that Ed Helms (The Office, The Hangover I & II) is currently in negotiations with New Line to play Rusty Griswold in their upcoming flick Vacation.

For anyone who doesn't know, Rusty Griswold is the son of Clark Griswold (played by Chevy Chase) and Ellen Griswold (played by Beverly D'Angelo) from the National Lampoon Vaction series.

The script was written by the writers of Horrible Bosses, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. They are also set to direct.

It's being said that this upcoming comedy will "follow Rusty, who now has his own family misadventures on the road." So, it'll just be like the other Vacation flicks, but will focus on Rusty Griswold and his family.

Production will most likely begin in the spring because Helms has to finish his work on The Office and The Hangover Part III.

I wonder if Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo will have a cameo as the parents? I sure hope so.
