Macaulay Culkin responds to 'Home Alone' reboot

  With Disney announcing that it will be rebooting some of the old classics such as Night at the Museum and Home Alone, fans have responded with disgust that Disney dare to touch their beloved childhood classics. According to reports, Home Alone, Night at the Museum and Diary of a Wimpy Kid are among those to be 'reimagined' for Disney's new streaming service, Disney+. 
  
  
  
  To be fair, I’m not best pleased about the reboots either but I don’t care enough to kick up a stink on social media about it. However, one person who isn’t too keen is Kevin McAllister himself. 38-year-old Macaulay Culkin, who played Kevin in Home Salome nearly three decades ago posted this pic on Twitter and captured the post: 'This is what an updated Home Alone would actually look like.'
  
  
   
  Macaulay followed up his tweet with a message to Disney, saying: 'Hey @Disney, call me!'
  
   
  
  Ha. Sounds like a pretty funny dude. It does make you wonder what the hell going Disney are going to do with these movies though. They certainly can’t make them any better! It’ll be interesting to see how much they bastardise some of our Christmas classics!

  Would love it if Culkin shows up as Marv in the reboot.

  lol Culkin needs to be involved some how in the reboot, not a big fan of the reboot dont think it needs to be done, but i suppose if done correctly it could be fun, but i dunno why people are getting mad over it, its not like the original is being erased from history.

  I'm with you all the way on that. Don't know why people think it's an angering smear on the 1st film. After Home alone 1 and 2 they made at least a couple more follow up movies, nothing to do with the original that could easily be considered reboots and they were absolute dross. No one got up in arms about it, people just didn't watch it. 
  
  I swear the age of the reboot is just as intended to anger the delicate as it is to try and seel movies. You're getting more hype for a movie reboot these days from the nay sayers than any other press. The idiots are doing jut what the studios want them to do.
  
  "Please don't touch my precious Home Alone!" Why not? As you said that film is still very much there, not like they are saying, "Right you've got until this new reboot is released then you can kiss goodbye to ever seeing Kevin McCallister ever again. I don't get why people think they have ownership over a franchise simply because it has nostalgia for them. You're too involved in a fictional product if you care if you're ghostbusters are female (yeah it was a bad film but people were angry before they knew it was bad) or if your James Bond is black.
  
  Doubtless one day I'm going to see another Neo and I either watch the film and like it or I won't. It won't change the years of joy growing up, watching the Matrix movies.
  
  Anti-rebooters are the same as full-grown men who hate One Direction, why do you care so much?

  probably for us who grew up with original home alone, but if you were to put it on for a younger audience it probably doesnt hold up as much, even though for us its a trip of nostalgia.
  
  So i totally get they wanna modernise and do a reboot, but you gotta remember you will always have the original
