Home Alone has got to be one of our favourite Christmas movies, so it’s safe to say we were pretty surprised to hear that Disney were planning a reboot.

The festive film is perfect so why fix what’s not broken?

We have to admit we’re on the fence about this film, but the cast announcement may have twisted our arm a little.

Disney just revealed that Rob Delaney, Ellie Kemper and rising star Archie Yates will take on the main roles in the reboot.

The new Home Alone won’t follow the original storyline.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the film will see Rob Delaney and Ellie Kemper’s characters go to war with a child (Yates) who has stolen a priceless heirloom.

Dan Mazer, director of Dirty Grandpa, will direct the new Christmas flick and SNL’s Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell have written the script.

The reimagined Home Alone certainly won’t beat the classic 1990 movie, but we’re feeling pretty intrigued about it after this casting news.

The Macaulay Culkin classic was first released in 1990 and has remained one of the most-watched Christmas movies since it’s original release. 

The movie will be available on Disney+, which will be available in the UK and Ireland in March 2020.

It's certainly a good week for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star Ellie Kemper!

Not only is the second season of UKS debuting tomorrow, but the actress announced on Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that she's expecting her first child – although she had to hide it for a while.

The flame-haired beauty found out she was pregnant while filming the second series of UKS, and didn't want to tell the world her good news just yet.

But then she had to film the season finale – where she was supposed to ride a rollercoaster.

Obviously not able to perform that specific task while pregnant, she went to her boss Tina Fey and they worked up a plan to keep her pregnancy away from the limelight, but the actress admitted that she's a bad liar and could hardly keep it a secret.

Congrats Ellie, we're glad it's all out in the open now!
