For quite some time now, enthusiasts of the movie “Home Alone” have been clamoring for Macaulay Culkin to resurrect his character, Kevin McCallister, in a potential new sequel. However, the film’s director, Chris Columbus, has voiced his opposition to this notion.
Regarding a potential reboot of the franchise, the director who directed the original Home Alone movie and its sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, recently shared his thoughts with ET, stating, “I believe Home Alone represents a unique, special moment in time, and it’s challenging to recreate that essence.
He added: “It seems erroneous to attempt to replicate something we achieved 35 years ago. I believe we should just let it be.
Following Macaulay Culkin’s departure from the Home Alone series after the second movie, “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York”, other lead actors took over the role for subsequent films such as “Home Alone 3” released in 1997, “Home Alone 4” in 2002, “Home Alone: The Holiday Heist” in 2012, and most recently, “Home Sweet Home Alone” in 2021.
2018 saw Ryan Reynolds taking on a producing role for the movie titled Stoned Alone, initially marketed as a follow-up to the mature-themed original film. However, due to complications during production, the project found itself in a state of prolonged delay and stagnation – a situation often referred to as development hell.
In an earlier announcement, it was described that the story revolves around a slacker in his twenties, involved in growing marijuana, who unfortunately misses his vacation ski trip.
Later on, Columbus expressed his viewpoint to The Independent: “To me, these reboots are simply preposterous. When I heard they were planning something like ‘Stoned Alone,’ a R-rated Home Alone movie featuring stoners, I couldn’t help but think, ‘This is nothing more than an affront to the very essence of cinema’.
