New Sequel Idea Gains Studio Attention
A source close to the project told PEOPLE that Disney has given an “almost green light” to Macaulay Culkin’s concept for a new Home Alone film. The pitch envisions Culkin reprising Kevin McCallister as an adult father who becomes locked out of his own house while his son sets traps for him. The idea is still in “very early” development, and neither Disney nor Culkin’s representatives have confirmed the details.
Franchise Background and Culkin’s Recent Visibility
The original 1990 Home Alone, starring Culkin as eight-year-old Kevin, was the second-highest-grossing film of that year, earning $476 million worldwide according to NME. The series expanded to six installments, but only the first two received strong critical and commercial reception.
Official Responses and Industry Commentary
Disney’s public relations team has not responded to inquiries, and Culkin has not issued a formal comment confirming the project.
