Horrible Bosses Writers Directing New Vacation Sequel

Hot off the success of Horrible Bosses, THR reports the writing team Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley will jump to the director's chair(s) for Vacation, a sequel, for some reason labeled a reboot (Because that’s the "buzz" term they love to use for everything these days?) to the 80s/90s comedies starring Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo and whatever child actors they cast for each individual film at hand as the Griswolds, the unluckiest family at taking nice, relaxing vacations. This will be the directorial debut for the duo.
They were initially commissioned to write two years back for helmer David Dobkin. But he's moved on, and presumably off Bosses' success (The two are also working on a sequel) Goldstein and Daley are itching to try out directing. Odd to think Daley is linked to Vacation and his Freaks & Geeks co-stars Seth Rogen and Jason Segel wound up with The Green Hornet and The Muppets, respectively.
For this entry, the focus will shift to a grown-up Rusty Griswold and his own attempt to have the perfect family vacation. Proving how stupid Russ grew up to be since none of his family outings as a kid worked out. Does having GPS and iPhones make him think things will turn out different for him?
No word on the return of Chase or D'Angelo though the indication, back when the duo was onboard strictly to write, was cameos were planned for the two. Just throw some money on a fishing line in front of Chase's house and lure him onto the set. Heard that’s how they got him on Community.
