So you thought VA5 stood for View Askew 5 didn't ya? Well you were wrong and I have discovered what Kev's new film is all about...
So we all know that Kev and Chevy Chase are no longer the best of friends. But Kevin, being the sentimental fool that he is, felt real bad about what happened so he listened to Chevy (who as we know only wants to make a new film) and came up with the answer - VA5. You see VA5 does not stand for "View Askew 5", as we all thought, but instead stands for "Vacation 5". Yes Kevin is going to make the fifth film in the National Lampoon's Vacation series!!!! Whilst the title hasn't been confirmed yet (hence VA5) I believe they are going to go with "National Lampoon's New Jersey Vacation".
As far as I know the story goes like this having returned to Leonardo, NJ in "Dogma" Jay & Bob go back to their usual selling smokes and shoplifting from the Quick Stop. Meanwhile Leonardo Leonardo, the owner of Quick Stop and RST, is slowly going out of business - basically due to the aforementioned shoplifting and the fact that RST is only open for about two hours a day due to the slacker clerk that works there!!! Mr. Leonardo reluctantly has to sell the businesses and this news wings it's way too Clark Griswald who has just retired and is looking to invest some money. He buys the businesses and brings his whole family to New Jersey (with his kids, Rusty and Audrey, now being played by Matt Damon and Joey Lauren Adams!!!). His first act as the new owner of Quick Stop and RST is to sack Dante and Randal, who of course don't take this news too well. The now unemployed slackers decide to recruit the services of Jay & Bob to sabotage the stores and get their jobs back. Meanwhile Mr. Leonardo has the same idea and hatches his own revenge plan and of course mayhem ensues!!! I won't tell you how it ends but let's just say there's going to be explosions, bush and fucked-up fish (possibly a koala-fish mutant bird!!!).
Remember you heard it here first!!! ;)
(And before someone points out that the Griswalds don't actually go on vacation - well Kev pointed that out to Chevy, who in turn pointed out that he didn't care he just wanted to be in a good movie again!!!)
