MEET THE PRODUCTION CREW

Joining the two legends in the production are other pacesetting movie makers, as reported by The Hollywood Reporters.

Notable names like Eric Rhone and Michael Elliot are among the brains behind this budding blockbuster, with the latter taking the scripting credits while Eric was revealed as one of the producers, under the auspices of A Bird and A Bear Entertainment.

Notably, Eric Rhone was also a co-producer of the original film, along with Cedric, Wendy Park, Andrew Sugerman, and Todd Jones, among others, making him no stranger to the movie settings.

“The Johnson Family Vacation” premiered in April 2004, grossing $31.5 million in the Box office.

The comedy film starred Vanessa Williams, Bow Wow, Shannon Elizabeth, Steve Harvey, Gabby Soleil, Solange Knowles, and the legendary Cedric The Entertainer, who played the lead role of the Johnsons' Patriarch, Nate Johnson.

While the television idol is set to retain his role in this new return of the Johnsons, the other casts are yet unknown. Still, hopefully, the original Johnson family role players would be back on TV screens alongside the comedian.
