This sin't new news, but it's an update to the news posted last year about New Line going forward with a vacation "update", whatever that means.More from the trades:New Line is booking a reboot of its "Vacation" franchise and has tapped Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley to write the newest incarnation. Property, which started with the 1983 Chevy Chase starrer, spawned three sequels that followed the Griswold family on holiday. The latest project, which will no longer carry the National Lampoon credit, is being described as more of an update than a sequel and will be closer in tone to "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" than the previous chapters. Story will focus on Rusty Griswold, now a grown man, who decides to take his own wife and kids on a road trip to Wally World before it closes forever. Chase is expected to reprise his role as Clark Griswold, now a grandfather.

New Line better think twice about mistreating frequent hires Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley.
The screenwriting pair has just been brought on to work over the screenplay for New Line's absurdist comedy "Horrible Bosses."
The story line revolves around three friends who decide to whack their abusive "superiors" in a desperate bid for happiness.
New Line picked up the original screenplay from Michael Markowitz (TV's "Becker") in an auction environment in 2005. Brett Ratner's Rat Entertainment, which was housed at New Line at the time, is producing.
Sam Brown and Michael Disco are overseeing for the studio.
Daley and Goldstein do a lot of business with New Line. They sold their original script "The $40,000 Man" to the studio and worked on the in-development magician comedy "Burt Wonderstone" there.
The duo also is writing the comedy "Cal of the Wild" for DreamWorks.

Let’s see you get yourself out of this one, MacGyver! (Insert evil villain laugh here.) Okay, so the villains on the ’80s TV show MacGyver never really offered up evil laughs, but they should have considering how easy MacGyver kept getting out of their traps. Now New Line Cinema wants to revive the character into a possible movie franchise, cause why the hell not, am I right? Via THR: No writer is attached, but the studio hopes to find a script that can acknowledge how the concept has staked a place into pop culture yet still makes for a serious and fun adventure movie. “We think we’re a stick of chewing gum, a paper clip and an A-list writer away from a global franchise,” said New Line’s Richard Brener, who will oversee with Sam Brown and Walter Hamada. The original starred Richard Dean Anderson, an incredibly resourceful...
