In terms of the all-time best Christmas film, the wonderful Home Alone usually ranks very highly on the festive list and the beloved classic is returning for 2021.
Disney+ has announced that Home Sweet Home Alone, an all-new adventure comedy from the beloved holiday film franchise, will debut on November 12, 2021 exclusively on the streaming service.
In terms of the story, Kevin McCallister is finally getting a break from being tormented by the Wet Bandits (Harry and Marv) with an entirely new story and cast set to feature.
As per the official synopsis: "Max Mercer is a mischievous and resourceful young boy who has been left behind while his family is in Japan for the holidays.
"So when a married couple attempting to retrieve a priceless heirloom set their sights on the Mercer family’s home, it is up to Max to protect it from the trespassers…and he will do whatever it takes to keep them out."
To quote Kevin's famous line, 'this is it, don't get scared now.'
It's going to be very interesting to see how the classic story fits in with the modern era and things like cell phones, the internet, and doorbells with cameras.
However, Home Sweet Home Alone boasts a very impressive cast with Irish star Aisling Bea among the billing.
The film stars Ellie Kemper (“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”), Rob Delaney (“Deadpool 2”), Archie Yates (“Jojo Rabbit”), Aisling Bea (“Living with Yourself”), Kenan Thompson (“Saturday Night Live”), Tim Simons (“Veep”), Pete Holmes (“The Secret Life of Pets 2”), Devin Ratray (“Home Alone”), Ally Maki (“Toy Story 4”), Chris Parnell (“Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues”) and is directed by Dan Mazer (“Dirty Grandpa”).
The screenplay is by Mikey Day & Streeter Seidell (“Saturday Night Live”), from a story by Mikey Day, Streeter Seidell and John Hughes (“Home Alone”).
