No, just no!

Soola · 07/08/2019 12:36

Nearly all remakes are absolute crap.

Nope.

StormyLovesOdd · 07/08/2019 12:52

Oh no they are going to ruin it, Home Alone doesn't not need to be messed with

fortheloveofPete · 07/08/2019 13:09

Nooooooooooooo

FFS Don't fix what isn't broken

CherryPlum · 07/08/2019 13:11

Nooooo! Will the parents be prosecuted for child neglect in the new one?!

Fantasisa · 07/08/2019 13:13

How can it be remade? Modern technology will now make the whole premise impossible.

A quick post and share on Facebook would have a hoard of locals heading over to scoop Kevin up.

Buddyelf · 07/08/2019 13:19

@Fantasisa that was my first thought! The whole premise wouldn't work now. Its a classic that shouldn't be messed with.

Fantasisa · 07/08/2019 13:19

Definitely. It is perfect as it is. As is Elf Wink

Fantasisa · 07/08/2019 13:20

You can't even lose an engagement ring in London these days without a helpful stranger finding it within half an hour!

fortheloveofPete · 07/08/2019 13:31

Elf! I might have to watch that too today.

WoodsNTrees · 07/08/2019 14:16

No. It shouldn't be done.

Don't fuck with things that are brilliant.

Do you remember a few years ago they were talking about re-doing Drop Dead Fred with that twat russell brand Outcry. Fortunately the never did.y

fortheloveofPete · 07/08/2019 14:27

They tried to do what???

fortheloveofPete · 07/08/2019 14:28

With that????

The bastards

Buddyelf · 08/08/2019 09:17

Did you see the picture Macaulay Culkin posted yesterday to Disney? Really funny.

WoodsNTrees · 08/08/2019 09:30

Just in case people want to see it without googling.

I laughed Grin

Home Alone reboot
PrivateIsles · 08/08/2019 09:37

Fantasia Grin re the engagement ring!

I agree, the original is just untouchable. They should leave it be. Such a bad idea on every level.

Woods I love Macaulay's social media, usually v good value.

"The Home Alone remake is just 90 minutes of convoluted explanations as to why he can't just use his mobile phone or the Internet to contact his parents"

Just saw that on twitter and that's exactly what the movie will be. Otherwise a quick text to a mum/dad friend to go to the house and get the forgotten child would end the movie in 60 seconds.

Jinglesplodge · 08/08/2019 12:16

NOOOO!

Look, I realise this makes me sound like a grumpy old woman but I cannot understand why they keep remaking things that were perfectly good the first time. Think of all the excellent new films we never get to see because the studios think the safer bet is just to make another of the thing that sold well the first time.

Dull, derivative, and undermining some really cool films because kids will want to watch the new one instead. Thumbs down.

dustarr73 · 08/08/2019 12:31

That picture of him on Twitter is gold.They should just leave it alone.

My thoughts exactly.
