The “Home Alone” reboot is coming soon

There’s a “Home Alone” reboot in the works at Disney+, and it’s almost done.

Kenan Thompson is in it, and he says, quote, “It was a long shoot… [it] got shut down and came back around because of the pandemic and stuff… but I think they’re getting very close to finishing it.”

The original is streaming on Disney+, in case you want to revisit a true classic…

To their credit, they’re not just copying the plot of the original.  This one stars Ellie Kemper and Rob Delaney as, quote, “Adults who go to war with a kid who has stolen a priceless heirloom in order to save their home from financial ruin.”

The kid is played by Archie Yates from “JoJo Rabbit”.  He was JoJo’s friend Yorki.
