![]() Linz ( Max Keeble’s Big Move) took over for Culkin as a new character, Alex Pruitt. This is not the first time a “new” Kevin has been introduced into the Home Alone franchise. Yates will not be assuming the role of Kevin McCallister, instead, he will be playing a new character named Max. Mazer chose JoJo Rabbit breakout star Archie Yates to fill Culkin’s shoes, but there is a catch. The big question fans have been posing, after their initial shock that Disney would have the stones to remake such a classic, is who will be the new Kevin McCallister? As the world is well aware, Macaulay Culkin played the mischievous Kevin in the first two Home Alone movies. While they are not John Hughes, their background is firmly built around comedy, with both writers having served on Saturday Night Live as well as Maya & Marty. Mazer will be directing from a script penned by Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell. His last feature film was the 2016 Dirty Grandpa. Mazer is probably best known as the long-time writing partner of Sacha Baron Cohen as the two have collaborated on Ali G Indahouse, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, Brüno, and The Dictator. Shortly after, Dan Mazer was brought on board to direct the film. Only a few months after Disney took over Fox, then Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that, indeed, Disney had begun work on a new Home Alone. DIRECTING AND WRITING THE HOME ALONE REBOOT ![]() ![]() One franchise Disney was keen on was the Home Alone series, so they decided it was time to first rewind and then refresh audiences with their version of Home Alone. When Disney purchased Fox in March 2019, it was only a matter of time before the Mouse House would start looking at all the successful Fox entities and plan accordingly as to which property would be ripe for a reimage, a remake, a reboot, or a re-whatever. That’s Buzz, Kevin’s older brother in the original film played by actor Devin Ratray. If you were hoping that was Culkin, it’s not. The trailer shows the name “McCallister”. In our complete breakdown of the Home Alone trailer, we took the time to investigate the police officer’s face.
