Wimpy- The Next Chapter

195



196

END OF THE ROAD?

Making “The Long Haul” was an epic experience
for everyone involved. It was hard work, but by
the end the actors, the filmmakers, and everyone
else who participated grew from the journey.
For the Kinney family, the movie created a chance
to reconnect. These days, they live in different
parts of the country, but filming brought them
together in Atlanta.

Who knows what’s next for the Heffley family?
Will they be in more films, or have they reached
the end of the road? That’s up to audiences

to decide. But whatever the case, it’s been an
amazing trip so far.
