Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo Reprise Vacation Role in HomeAway Commercial

Posted on January 26, 2010

Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo are reprising their roles as Clark and Ellen Griswold from National Lampoon's Vacation in a new HomeAway commercial. The commercial will air during this year's Super Bowl and will contain a link to a microsite containing a short film.

The campaign kicks off with the airing of a 30-second commercial during the third quarter of Super Bowl XLIV on February 7th. The commercial is a mock movie trailer giving a sneak peek of a short film based on the original movie.

In the Hotel Hell Vacation film, Clark surprises Ellen with a romantic second honeymoon before meeting up with their son Rusty and his family for an extended vacation. In classic Griswold family tradition, they run into travel mishaps along the way. The spot, directed by Bryan Buckley, drives consumers to HomeAway.com to view a 15-minute movie.

Update 2-7-10: You can see the HomeAway Hotel Hell ad on adage.com.
