The upcoming reimagining of the beloved 1990 filmHome AlonetitledHome Sweet Home Alonehas got an official trailer and its first images. Directed byDan Mazer, the film also tells the story of a family that, in the chaos of getting everything packed and ready to go on holiday, ends up leaving their son behind at home.Home Sweet Home Alonewill be premiering exclusively on Disney+ on Friday, November 12.
Instead of mischievous 8-year-old Kevin McCallister, who was played byMacaulay Culkin, this new installment of theHome Alonefranchise has 10-year-old Max Mercer, played byJojo Rabbit’s starArchie Yates, as the central character who gets to have his home all to himself. With his family in Tokyo, Max gets to do everything he wants to do, like eating an unhealthy amount of M&M’s as we can see in the trailer. Just like in the originalHome Alone, Max too must find clever ways to defend his home from two individuals who intend to burglarize it in order to steal an expensive heirloom.
The trailer features a little nod to the firstHome Alonemovie. As a policeman arrives at the Mercer residence, we can see a shot of the officer’s surname, McCallister, which is Kevin’s family name.
