The movie is expected to mirror the original film. In the film, John Sr. is stuck in a storm on a trip before Christmas. John-Boy must go save his father and bring him home in time for the holidays.
The execs at CW have said that if the movie does well, they will look into producing a reboot series as well. Are you excited for a new Waltons movie and perhaps a series? Are you happy with the full cast of the movie?
