CNN – Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal — a Disney remake of “Home Alone” is on its way.
In a conference call with investors, Disney CEO Bob Iger said the company would be “reimagining” the 1990s Christmas classic film for its long-awaited streaming service, Disney+, along with “Night at the Museum,” “Cheaper by the Dozen” and “Diary of a Wimpy Kid.”
In March, Disney acquired most 21st Century Fox assets following a $71 billion deal including several film franchises.
Disney has provided no details about how or when the film will be remade, or who will be cast.
“We are also focused on leveraging Fox’s vast library of great titles to further enrich the content mix on our… platforms — for example, reimagining ‘Home Alone,’ ‘Night at the Museum,’ ‘Cheaper by the Dozen’ and ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ for a new generation on Disney+,” Iger told investors on Tuesday.
