Turning high conversation into baked reality, Ryan Reynolds is making a movie where, like, it’s Home Alone—right?—but the kid is, like, this stoned guy. According to Deadline, Reynolds is attached to produce a comedy that takes the left-behind home defense setup of that 1990 Christmas classic and transposes it onto a 20-something, marijuana-growing slacker (which sounds a lot better than saying it’s Straw Dogs but with weed replacing the violent sexual assault). Of course titled Stoned Alone, the film already already has a script, and 20th Century Fox has set Augustine Frizzell (the upcoming partially-stoner comedy Never Goin’ Back) to direct.
To these filmmakers hoping to add drug-fueled paranoia to Home Alone, we must ask: was it not enough that Kevin McCallister ordered an entire pizza for himself, then got really weird about answering the door?
