Macaulay Culkin Posts Hilarious Pic After Disney Announces They’re Rebooting Home Alone (23 Reactions)

Following the purchase of 20th Century Fox, Disney now owns the rights to many of its franchises, including Home Alone. Recently, the studio decided it would give the ’90s classic a reboot on its forthcoming streaming service.

After he found out about it, Macaulay Culkin, the actor who portrayed the beloved Kevin McAllister, shared his take on what the “updated” version should look like.

Culkin, now 38, posted a hilarious photo of himself sitting on the couch with a laptop. In the pic, he can be seen rocking a headband and short white tank top, surrounded by video game controllers, take out meals and other stuff one could need on a lonely Friday evening.

Interestingly, the actor’s younger brother, Kieran, said their family continue rewatching the film. “It was a movie for us too growing up, which is funny,” he told ET. “You would think that because he was in it and it was such a big thing [for him] that we wouldn’t be able to enjoy it like a Christmas movie. But over the years we have been able to. Yeah, we watch it!”

It's kind of lame that Disney is just remaking a bunch of movies. I guess they are just out of ideas :(

Those movies are cash cows. How do you get parents into cinema with their kids? Show them what they loved when they were kids. I think it's really sad of Disney to destroy those classics. None of the new movies was nearly as good as the original ones.

I believe it was Gene Siskel who once said, "Remake Bad Movies, not good ones." Nothing wrong with taking a mediocre movie i.e. The original (1951) Thing from another world and making it a great movie (1982) John Carpenter's The Thing. But why take a wonderful movie and remake it. In all likelihood it's all down hill from here.

it is simple marketing really... why to bother with an original story when you can remake a well know movie that dumb people will pay to see cause of nostalgia and such! since it is well know, you dont need to convince anyone! it is a recurring thing at disney... nothing new comes out of them anymore

The original THING was a wonderful movie. So was the remake. Just a different approach.

Maybe an upgrade would be in order, technology being a great dealfor the story, but... a simple line like "Dear, forgot to pay the internet bill" to avoid contact and thee you go, the same movie.

Disney is doing nothing but remakes and sequels these days. If your people can't come up with an original idea, hire new people Disney.

Macauly Culkin could be the crotchety old scary neighbor who is at odds with his family because he was also left at home... alone when he was a child. Then he can slap some bad guy in the face with a red hot snow shovel!!

He’s nowhere near old enough to be convincing as “crotchety old neighbor.” He needs like 30 more years for that.

Why are we "remaking" all the great movies? Can't they come up with something original? Every time I see them do this, it reminds me of Lethal Weapon 4..how most of it was a rehash of old lines from LW2...only more irritating. Stop messing with the originals...they were famous because they were original!

It’s starting to look like the Disney idea well is going dry. Just look at the total dud that their Star Wars theme parks are turning out to be because they didn’t realize Star Wars is pretty much all played out these days as the next generation has moved on to Marvel. And what the hell would even be the core story line and situation for a kid being “home alone” in the age of the Internet, Netflix, Uber/Lyft, PayPal and smart phones?

What's the purpose? The original is fine. Sure, it has it's flaws but it's a memorable classic and I don't see what changes you would make towards the movie to improve it.
