The Cast Of The “Home Alone” Reboot Has Been Revealed
Disney executives probably have a two-item checklist when it comes to generating content for Disney Plus. #1, do we own it? #2, did it make money? If they can answer yes to both questions, it’s getting made. No matter how unnecessary or dumb. Which brings us to the news that, according to Variety, the planned Home Alone reboot has been cast. No plot details explaining how a child could be left alone to commit attempted murder without Alexa narcing on him, were provided. But given that most of their offerings (BABY YODA EXCLUDED) are engineered to be watched repeatedly from the back of an SUV on a tiny sticky screen so that parents can take some time for themselves to engage in a perpetual fight over something stupid that is really just an expression of thier personal regrets, grudges, and dissatisfaction with the choices they’ve made, it just doesn’t matter .(Wait does Disney own Meatballs? NM, it doesn’t matter.) Ellie Kemper, Rob Delaney, and that cute little boy with glasses from Jojo Rabbit (Archie Yates) will have the honor of lulling your children to sleep while you fight.
Disney Is Planning To Reboot “Home Alone”
If anyone was going to reboot Home Alone, I would have guessed either horror director Eli Roth, or the studio that makes the Saw films. Because who else would want to tackle a Christmas-themed movie about a sadistic, sociopathic child who hates his family and takes gleeful pleasure in torturing two desperate petty thieves (as well as an innocent minimum wage-earning teenage pizza boy, let’s not forget that part)? Well apparently the Disney’s into it.
Macaulay Culkin Is Legally Changing His Middle Name To Macaulay Culkin
Many people on the cold winter streets are saying that 2018 was a who-er of a year and they can’t wait to shovel it under 6 feet of cold, hard dirt. Macaulay Culkin must be in agreement, because he’s decided to legally change his name for 2019, and he’s letting his fans do the choosing. If you are repeating the mantra, “Please say it’s going to be Kevin McAllister, Please say it’s going to be Kevin McAllister,” you are not (home) alone. But sadly, Kevin McAllister didn’t even make the Top 5.
Ryan Reynolds Is Doing A Stoner Remake Of “Home Alone”
Deadline is reporting that there’s going to be a remake of Home Alone. But unlike every other remake which is kicking that dead horse hard, this remake is going with a dank new idea. Ryan Reynolds is going to produce Stoned Alone, which is being developed at Fox, with Augustine Frizzell directing. Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider are writing the script, both of them signed on to the production as soon as they were pitched it. The idea apparently came from a Fox exec named Matt Reilly whose office is probably a hotbox mecca.
