Home Alone Remake is Official

[Timstuff]

I seriously don't get why they'd remake Home Alone. The movie is timeless, there's nothing in there to modernize.

 

[SuperFerret]

Man, I thought I was being sarcastic, but that casting would work in this remake.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Oh I got the joke. It's more fun to see how long it takes people to actually read the link....

The bad thing is I'd actually pay to see that movie.

 

[zeptron]

Whew. When I saw this thread it scared for a bit.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Well, it’s happening for Disney+.

And seems to be taking a page out of Home Alone 3 with an entirely new kid unrelated to the original two films.

Home Alone is lightning in a bottle. At the very least if Chris Columbus was producing, I’d have more faith.

[GREEN =w= DAY]

This is gonna be a disaster

 

[samsnee]

As long as they don’t remove the original from the service, it doesn’t matter.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Leave it alone.

 

[terry78]

Leave it alone.

Home alone.

 

[Web-Head]

Totally against this, but that's a solid cast! The first one is not only my favorite Christmas movie ever, it is one of my favorite movies of all time. We'll see.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

But for real, in this age of the internet, FaceTime, drones and Child Protective Services, can anyone truly be home alone?

That can’t fly these days lol

 

[Arachnerd]

Calling it right now, they're gonna use the most predictable of Alexa jokes in this.

 

[NotNickFury]

Also, in this day and age, the McCallisters would probably be arrested for seemingly abandoning their child and leaving them home alone.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Seems this will be loosely based on Home Alone in every sense of the word.

Here’s the apparent plot:

The new story, according to sources, sees Kemper and Delaney play a wife and husband who, in order to save their home from financial ruin, go to war with a kid who has stolen a priceless heirloom.

So Kemper and Delaney are the new Wet Bandits?

Disney+ ‘Home Alone’ Reboot Adds Kenan Thompson, Ally Maki And Chris Parnell

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

A remake good enough to match the original is like finding a unicorn.

And good luck replacing Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern.

Oops

I don‘t have any high expectations for this. If it’s on D+ it won‘t hurt anybody - we can watch it or not.
The original belongs to the seasons - I wonder how many would‘ve rewatched it every december if wouldn‘t had a Christmas setting

 

[DarkKnight88]

The original will be untouched. It’s truly a classic at this point. But I can’t really get upset about this considering the later sequels. This can’t be any worse than Home Alone 3, or especially Home Alone 4 (yes, there was that piece of DTV garbage).

Then get doxxed on social media... outed and cancelled - fired from their jobs.

In other words its a random movie, with the home alone brand thrown on it... that's like sticking a cop on a cruise ship that has been over taken and on course for hitting the dock and calling it speed 2..... oh wait

 

[Immortalfire]

There’s nothing sacred anymore.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

There’s nothing sacred anymore.

Not a damn thing.

 

[Drizzle]

I'm not shocked. When you think about it, Home Alone 3 was in and of itself a remake of sorts, and I have to say the reason for the kid being home alone in that one was more logical than the first two movies. And then there were two DTV sequels, one of which was a continuation of Kevin's story with a completely different cast. So it's nothing new. They're just trying to cash in again.

 

[Albright]

Idk what problems you guys have - I hate the new Dumbo movie, but I still can enjoy the original movie.
If you hate, just don‘t watch it - the original remains untouched
