The Office star Ed Helms has been tapped to play Rusty Griswold in New Line’s Vacation reboot or sequel, depending how you look at it.

Variety reports:

“Horrible Bosses” scribes John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are directing from a script they penned.

The new version of the vacation adventures of the quirky dad and his family will follow Rusty, who now has his own family misadventures on the road.

Helms was rumored to be circling the project earlier this year, but now things finally seem to be in place. The report goes on:

If Helms’ deal closes, production would aim for a spring start after Helms finishes production on “The Hangover 3” and his stint on “The Office.” In that time, New Line will aim to cut the script down a little in order to bring in to the budget they like.

Are you excited for another Vacation movie? Do you think Helms makes a nice fit for the franchise?
