Home Alone 2: Lost in New York: Last News

Home Alone has finally revealed what Kevin McAllister’s parents had done for a living – specifically, to be able to afford such a big house in Chicago, as featured in the film.The five-bedroom, six-bathroom residence in Winnetka, Illinois has often been at the centre of discussion online, with fans of the 1990 festive film and its sequels questioning how the family were able to live in such a luxurious property.Now, director Chris Columbus has spoken about what the parents of Macaulay Culkin’s Kevin do for work to be able to afford the house in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast.Revealing the discussions he had with Home Alone screenwriter John Hughes about the characters’ backstories, he said: “Back then, John and I had a conversation about it, and we decided on what the jobs were.”Catherine O’Hara’s Kate McCallister, he revealed, “was a very successful fashion designer,” which he said is evidenced by the presence of mannequins in the house’s basement.John Heard’s Peter McCallister, meanwhile, he was less clear about. “The father could have, based on John Hughes’ own experience, worked in advertising, but I don’t remember what the father did.”He did, however, confirm that he did not have connections to a criminal underworld, which some have suggested is the reason that Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern’s Wet Bandits are drawn to the house.

Succession star Kieran Culkin has revealed why he hasn’t allowed his kids to watch Home Alone yet.The actor appeared in the festive film and its sequel Home Alone 2: Lost In New York alongside his brother Macaulay Culkin, as cousin Fuller.Speaking to E! News, he has now said that he hasn’t allowed his kids – Kinsey, who is five, and Wilder, who is three – to watch the first movie yet because “there’s still some scary parts” for them to see.“For the three-year-old, there’s the tarantula [and] there’s the guy at the end who said, ‘I’m gonna bite off all your fingers.’ That’s scary for a three-year-old,” Culkin explained.He did say that despite this, he may allow them to watch the festive movie before the year is out.“We think they might be ready for Home Alone this year. If not, next year,” he added.In a separate interview with the Los Angeles Times, the Succession star also admitted that he didn’t fully grasp Home Alone‘s plot when they were filming scenes for the 1990 movie.“I had no idea what that movie was about when I saw it, and I was in it,” he said.

Donald Trump‘s tab during filming for Home Alone 2: Lost In New York.The former US president famously made a cameo in the 1992 movie in which Macaulay Culkin’s Kevin MacAllister asks Trump for directions to the hotel lobby.Stern, best known for his role as hapless criminal Marv alongside Joe Pesci (Harry) in Home Alone and the sequel, told ITV’s Good Morning Britain [via The Independent] yesterday (May 28): “I had met [Trump] that day on the shoot and that night, me and the stunt guys and some crew guys were at the hotel bar and Mr Trump walked through.“He pointed and was very appreciative and said, ‘Drinks are on me’ and so we bought drinks for the entire bar, for the entire night. We hit him pretty good on the bill.

Home Alone 2: Lost In New York.In a 2020 interview with Business Insider celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Home Alone franchise, Columbus expressed that Trump’s cameo in the film was the product of needing to film at New York’s Plaza Hotel, which he owned.“We couldn’t rebuild The Plaza on a soundstage,” Columbus told Business Insider. “Trump said OK. We paid the fee, but he also said, ‘The only way you can use the Plaza is if I’m in the movie.’ So we agreed to put him in the movie.”He added that “the oddest thing happened” when they screened the film for the first time.
