Christina Applegate on board.

We need a new term for films that aren't remakes, prequels, or sequels, but are essentially the same story for a new audience.

I guess I should say "similar" story.

Vacation will be similar to the original, but with different people making the trip.

I think I like retread, but I don't know if it needs to be more insulting?

Back when I worked as a tire buster, retread was about the filthiest word there was.
