Thor 7,493 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Indeed. Debney is one of the few guys who are able to do Williams' themes in a classy way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not thrilled with the treatment of Williams themes in stuff like ROGUE ONE, JP3, the JW movies or JAWS 3D, for example. And I would worry a whole lot more if this was in the hands of certain other composers. Debney, on the other hand, has a track record that shows he can do Williams' stylings in a classy way.

I don't really care who's scoring it, what I care about is that they have the audacity to take a beloved Christmas film that's not even thirty years old, and remake it so the same assholes who shoveled buckets of popcorn down their throats with Aladdin, The Lion King and the other soulless, sadistic, cheap, hollow, incredulous, disingenuous remakes will come flying back to the cinemas for this garbage. You know what else will suck, and nothing against Debney - but this film won't have the same songwriting from Leslie Bricusse or Williams' magical themes. So fuck this, fuck everything about this. I don't love Home Alone, but the idea of remaking it because it will sell tickets is disgusting consumerist crap. Oh, please. Get off your pedestal. There are already five Home Alone films; and “Christmas Classics” are remade constantly. Not to mention this is a Disney+ film, no one will be seeing this in a theater.

DrTenma 116 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 So unnecessary... But, in any case, Debney is a very good composer capable of mimicking many styles. I'm sure his score will be entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,684 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I'd lost track of how many films there had been. I've always been fond of #3 as a harmless threequel, with a perfectly good score by Glennie-Smith. You could say that if they're getting Debney on board, they're at least making an effort. I'd barely heard of David Kitay, who did #5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hughes himself rewrote Miracle on 34th Street in between 2 and 3 lol. And as you say Home Alone has already been sequelized to hell and back. 3-5 were basically “reboots” anyway and the third one only used Williams in the title if I remember right. But complaining about this is like giving any attention to a TV movie or VHS release. Same financial imperative as back in the day, they’re just doing this to generate content like always. The only difference is adults inexplicably pay attention to these things like they’re big news and it gets publicized like a major release, I suppose because Disney+ is new and all, the Fox sale etc, but this is literally no different than when Fox farted out 4 and 5 for Disney’s ABC networks. Like that’s the other thing is this is technically Fox/Disney’s third Home Alone project anyway. publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyncMan 314 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Disney green-lights another 'Home Alone' movie but they won't green-light a 'Home Alone 2' LTP concert. There are orchestras in the USA and Canada that have presented the 'Home Alone' LTP concert every year during the Thanksgiving/Christmas season.

I was going to say that this is a surprisingly loaded cast! Most of them are American stand-up comedians or comic actors. Ellie Kemper was on the American version of The Office and went on to star in Tina Fey’s show Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt for Netflix. Rob Delaney is a stand-up who does a ton of supporting roles in ensemble comedies. He starred in a British comedy called Catastrophe and had a brief but memorable supporting role in Deadpool 2. Kenan Thompson has been on Saturday Night Live for two decades. Tim Simons was hilarious on HBO’s Veep. Pete Holmes is a well known stand-up and comedy writer who had his own talk show on TBS, his own HBO show, and a guest writing gig on The Simpsons. Chris Parnell is an SNL alumnus who is pretty omnipresent in comedy movies and TV! Ive seen the other adults in the cast in various places but nothing particularly memorable. still don’t anticipate this is gonna be very good, but we’ll watch it with our kid this winter.
