Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul is an upcoming American family road comedy film based on the book of the same name by Jeff Kinney. It is intended to be the fourth installment in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid film series and a sequel to Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days. Despite not being a reboot, the original cast and crew members from the first three films will not be reprising their roles, making this the first film to feature an entirely new cast.
It is scheduled to release on May 19, 2017 by 20th Century Fox.
The film will take place one year after the events of Dog Days. Greg Heffley and his brother Rodrick convince their family to go on a road trip for their grandmother's 90th birthday, but they actually intend on attending a video game convention.
After the release of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days in 2012, it has been described as the last live action film in the franchise. In August 2012, while doing press for the film, Jeff Kinney, Zachary Gordon and Robert Capron each indicated that there were no plans for a fourth movie, but did not dismiss the possibility entirely.
Kinney replied to inquiries regarding the possibility of another sequel, stating, "At present, we don’t have a fourth film in development, but you never know!" And when describing the likelihood of starring in another film in the series, Gordon explained, "Dog Days most likely will be the last movie. The main problem is [the cast] is getting older. You can't stop it. There's no way to temporarily stop us from changing and growing up. You know, that's the problem because the characters are supposed to be timeless."
