Kevin McCallister is back… sort of. Fans of the 1990 film “Home Alone” were ecstatic when a trailer for an alleged third film starring Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, and Daniel Stern was released on YouTube. The fake trailer depicts a grown-up Kevin McCallister, played by Culkin, facing off with the Wet Bandits 30 years after the events of “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.”
The trailer opens with Culkin, now 43, discovering a red bag on his doorstep, which contains a photo of his old foes, Harry and Marv, with a message indicating their return. The familiar sight of the “Oh-Kay Plumbing and Heating” van in his neighborhood signals trouble ahead. The voiceover sets the stage for a holiday season filled with chaos and booby traps, as Kevin McCallister is forced to defend his home once again.
While the trailer features appearances by familiar faces such as Catherine O’Hara, it is a well-crafted fake, incorporating clips from various sources. Nevertheless, some viewers expressed their hope for the parody to be turned into an actual movie, with one fan stating: “I haven’t gone to the cinema in a long time, but if they make this parody into a real movie, I’ll grab my money and go to the cinema in an instant. I swear.”
The excitement continued as another fan expressed: “Everyone would go to the theaters for this,” and a third fan added: “I don’t care if this is only a parody. I totally could see this being an actual movie.” There were even suggestions that high demand from viewers could potentially lead to the creation of a real sequel, with one fan pointing out the trend of legacy sequels in Hollywood.
Culkin recently received his Walk of Fame star
The recent Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony for Macaulay Culkin was also mentioned, where Catherine O’Hara praised his contribution to the iconic “Home Alone” series. She highlighted how Culkin’s natural acting ability and unique sense of humor have made “Home Alone” a beloved global sensation.
O’Hara humorously acknowledged her role as Culkin’s “fake mom who left him home alone not once but twice,” expressing her pride in his achievements.
The excitement surrounding the alleged third film and the recognition of Culkin’s talent at the Walk of Fame ceremony reflect the enduring impact of the “Home Alone” franchise on fans and the entertainment industry.
