UPDATED 7/22/2009: Richard Stanley's camp wrote in to point out that Dean Cain from LOIS AND CLARK: THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN is the actor  taking a VACATION - NOT Tom Welling as erroneously reported below.

A couple of years ago, it was announced that Richard Stanley (pictured), director of HARDWARE (coming soon on DVD, as we first reported here) and DUST DEVIL, was planning to make his big-screen comeback with an apocalyptic thriller called VACATION, to star Bruce Campbell. Then the news well on that one went dry—but Fango hears that the project is back on track again, with a new star.

Tom Welling, who plays Clark Kent/Superman on TV’s SMALLVILLE and also starred in the remake of THE FOG, is said to be taking over for Campbell in the story of a coke-addicted banker who travels with his stripper girlfriend to a seedy Middle Eastern resort. Their own personal problems soon pale before the disaster that strikes in the form of freak solar storms that eradicate all means of communication, leaving them stranded in an extremely hostile environment. Stanley wrote the screenplay with Maggie Moor, with whom he also created the short film THE SEA OF PERDITION, which you can see along with more info on what Stanley’s up to at the filmmaker’s MySpace page. Keep your eyes here for further updates on VACATION.
