As Disney has gotten its hands on 20th
Century Fox we’re up for a series of new, possibly exciting, reboots.
Harbouring numerous classic franchises under its wing, Disney has finally
turned its gaze to the one we all feel most passionate about – Home Alone. Yep, we’re up for a reboot
that will come to Disney’s new streaming service and, frankly speaking,
everyone is in a bit of a shock. The best reaction to the news, though, was
posted by none other than Macaulay Culkin himself, who played Kevin McAllister.
He came up with his very own version of what modern Home Alone should look like and, honestly, it’s the best thing in
the world.
Macaulay Culkin, 38 years of age, cracked
up the Internet (starting with Twitter) by posting a hilarious photo of himself
sitting amidst food leftovers with a laptop in his lap. He’s rocking a white
headband and an open midriff, something most of us can do only when home alone
(pun intended).
He then followed up with a tweet urging
Disney to call him. He probably has a whole script laid out already!
The reaction to the news itself and to
Culkin’s post was huge. Some people started making memes at the speed of light,
while others felt Disney was about to mess up their favourite classic.
But most people agree on one thing – they
would give this reboot a try if Macualay Culkin was in it. This may be the only
way for Disney to redeem itself! Otherwise the reboot will flop long before it
comes to the screens.
Who needs a reboot of the
all-time-favourite movie, anyway? Only a company who wants to ride the wave of
the movie’s previous success, that’s who. At least, that’s what most of Home Alone’s fans think is happening.
All of the movie’s sequels are proof enough
that you shouldn’t mess with the classic. Why not take a bad movie and make it
good with a cool reboot? Now that would create an uproar of applause.
Rest of the fans are light-heartedly
mocking the whole concept of the movie that worked great in the 90s’, but is
absolutely not possible in the modern day when everyone is connected with the Internet, messenger
apps, and social media.
