Remaking movies is all the rage in Hollywood. Figuring out a way to put a new spin on a familiar hit seems like automatic money in the bank for Tinsletown execs. Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds has a plan to reimagine a popular family favorite and give it a more modern spin.
Deadline reported that Reynolds will be helming a remake of the holiday classic, “Home Alone.”
Ryan will not be trying to play the role of a young child left behind while his family heads out of town for Christmas.
“Stoned Alone” centers around a twenty-something weed growing loser who misses the plane for his holiday ski trip. He makes the best of things by getting high. Paranoia sets in and he believes he hears someone break into his house. Turns out thieves have broken in. Fully stoned and fueled by paranoia, he tries to thwart the thieves and defend his castle. Reynolds will produce through his Fox-based Maximum Effort production banner, with and Maximum Effort’s George Dewey executive producer.
Stoned Alone, which is in development at Fox will be directed by Augustine Frizzell.
