    Just when you thought Disney couldn’t possibly find another feature to remake and reboot, they pick “Home Alone.” Sure, a product of its time in the days before cell phones, this Chris Columbus-directed, John Hughes written, John Williams‘ scored holiday film is one of the greats. Fight. Us.

    Which brings us to today’s news, confirming the reboot/remake coming exclusively to Disney+. Included was casting confirmations- Archie Yates (“Jojo Rabbit“) will be taking on the lead as Max Mercer, young boy left behind while his family vacations in Japan.

    Other confirmed cast include Ellie Kemper (“The Office,” “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt“), Rob Delaney (Peter from “Deadpool 2”), Aisling Bea (“Living with Yourself”), Kenan Thompson (“Saturday Night Live”), Tim Simons (“Veep”), Pete Holmes (“The Secret Life of Pets 2”), Ally Maki (“Toy Story 4”), and Chris Parnell (“SNL,” “Archer“).

    But buried in the casting list includes a pretty awesome “Home Alone” throwback- Devin Ratray, who played Kevin McCallister’s bully older brother Buzz, will appear in the film.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
