The original film’s premise centered on a pair of mismatched travelers who cross paths as they attempt to get home to loved ones for Thanksgiving. Martin played Neal Page, a stuffy marketing executive, and the late Candy played Del Griffiths, a fast-talking salesman who unlike Neal is an optimist, despite hiding some personal baggage. As the duo attempted to get home they faced plenty of obstacles and comedic shenanigans.

As of right now, it’s unclear as to which roles Smith and Hart will take on.
