Disney has announced it's going to remake Home Alone for its new streaming service.

The studio's chief exec Bob Iger said there will also be "reimaginations" of Night At the Museum, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Cheaper By the Dozen.

Disney now owns the franchises after it bought the film studio 20th Century Fox.


Not going to lie, that'll probably get me to subscribe to the service LOL

So are we making it into a modern movie or are we still setting it in the early 90s before fucking technology renders 99% of the plot solved?

I wonder what the view within popular culture and internally in the Disney company will be on this period of remakes in say 50 years.

I feel like it will be considered somewhat of a Dark Age.

Or a Trump Age, if you will.

Nah, he actually should be 40 (you know Home Alone was 29 years ago right?) in canon. He lives with his parents still, and like in the original, he is extremely excited to have been left behind. Only this time around, he doesn't go get groceries and take care of himself and he certainly doesn't go into the church. He just stays at home and orders pizza delivery, and ofc doesn't tip. He's supposed to be job hunting but hasn't even logged onto Monster in 7 years. He keeps telling his parents he just can't find anything. When Harry and Marv break in, he retaliates with his replica katana and swings it around with no skill whatsoever, cutting off his own pants like it's a 90's movie. He also tries to use his replica Green Lantern ring to punch them in the face with a glowy fist before they punch him in the face with a real fist and ransack the house, then burn it with him still inside.

Gonna disagree with every entry on that list (or poll I guess) where I've seen both films. Is there a human being on this planet who thinks Pale Rider is better than Shane? Really? >_> I also don't really think a new adaptation of the same source material is automatically a remake. Considering the 1939 Wizard of Oz a remake of earlier adaptation is very silly to me.

Ah good call on Ocean's 11. I did like the original's ending more but otherwise the remake was way better.

F&F I didn't even know was a remake lol.

To be fair, that should also have been how the original film worked, except the mom would call the house as soon as she realized Kevin was missing.

The electricity wasn't working in their house and I think something happened to the phone line too. That's why none of their alarm clocks went off and they were scrambling like crazy to make it to the airport. Kevin was by himself in the attic, which is why they forgot about him and he was left behind. She tried calling the house but it wasn't going through

Zero interest, but general consensus still appears to be that 4 is the worst in the series.

Are major Hollywood movies a creative vaccum now because all the good writers are doing TV shows and movies for A24?

The Longest Yard immediately comes to mind.

There are always exceptions to things. Remakes can be better. It just isn't the norm.
