MOVIE NEWS – Fake Home Alone 3 trailer has fans calling for Kevin McCallister to return!

Fans of the 1990 film Home Alone went wild after a trailer for a purported third film starring Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, and Daniel Stern appeared on YouTube. The video reached 2.5 million views in just ten days. This is a pretty good reflection of how popular Christmas cinema still is.

The fake trailer, which features an adult Kevin McCallister (Culkin), is said to take place 30 years after the events of the second instalment and shows the resourceful prankster facing off against the Wet Bandits one last time.

In the opening scene, Culkin, 43, opens the door to his home and notices a small red bag on the doorstep. Culkin bends over and opens the card to find a photo of his archenemies Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern) with the words, “We’re back, little buddy.”

Glancing around his neighbourhood, Culkin notices a familiar, battered “Oh-Kay Plumbing & Heating” van parked nearby. This is a sign that trouble is about to happen…

“This holiday season, it’s time to rediscover a classic. Kevin Mcallister is back – except this family is a little weird around Christmas,” – begins the trailer’s voiceover.

The clip then takes viewers on a wild rollercoaster ride with traps, SWAT teams, and someone even catches fire! (You can find the preview at the end of the article.)

Another veteran of the Home Alone films, Catherine O’Hara, also makes an appearance at one point. Unfortunately, the trailer is a very well-done fake, with many clips lifted from various TV shows, movies, and commercials. However, some viewers are hoping that the film will be made into a real movie.

One fan even suggested that if the video continues to gain popularity, we might see it on the big screen again.

“This parody is still pretty recent! If everybody shows enough high demand in the comments, we could convince them to make this a real movie,” the fan explained. “Legacy sequels are trending right now (hocus pocus 2, good burger 2, Mary Poppins returns, etc.) so this is DEFINITELY possible to make happen as a true Home Alone 2 sequel!”

Culkin recently received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. O’Hara, 69, was present at the ceremony in Los Angeles and gave a speech.
