Home Alone is being re-imagined by Disney because of course it is.

Disney – which now owns most of the entire planet and seems hell-bent on remaking absolutely everything that’s ever existed until we get to the point where we’re remaking shit that’s only been out for a week – has acquired the rights to the original 1990 movie via the Fox merger and is apparently giving it a remake for the Disney+ streaming platform.

Whether it’ll be a new feature film or a TV series or whatever seems unclear right now, but CEO Bob Iger confirmed the general plan this week – along with his intention to do the same with Night At The Museum, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Cheaper By The Dozen.

Catherine O’Hara was the mum in the original Home Alone, and given that she’s now enjoying a fresh bout of superstardom thanks to Schitt’s Creek, the ONLY WAY to get me on board with this idea is to have her reprise the role.

The ONLY WAY!!
