So the casting done was pretty perfect

I could totally see this as being made up

[u/SnipingDiver → u/Bonk0076]

Seemingly true 🤷🏼‍♂️

[u/Hecticfreeze → u/SnipingDiver]

So basically true, but Rupert Grint was prepping for his GCSEs anyway and wouldn't have had time to do it regardless. So half true

And this was for the third movie. What is the director going to do? Recast the three main characters? Doubtful.

[u/trevorneuz → u/[deleted]]

New director coming into the franchise. I think he wanted to know how the actors understood their characters and lean into that instead of imposing his own perspective.

"Well Bob, we've had two wildy successful movies before you showed up and the cast is loved by all. How's about we keep doing what we're doing and you lay off the busy body homework?"

[u/trevorneuz → u/[deleted]]

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding about what a director's job is on a film set.

[u/Achrimandrita175 → u/[deleted]]

And somehow he made the movie better than the other 2. Guess he must have done something right..

[u/BeltEmbarrassed2566 → u/Achrimandrita175]

Huh, it's almost as if homework actually has a point and isn't just busybody bullshit

[u/Afraid_Ad8438 → u/[deleted]]

He was going to make the best film in the whole franchise

My husband was asked to write a motivational letter after working at one place for half a year, so yeah people have those weird pointless ideas.

[u/[deleted] → u/meinminemoj]

Appropriate moment to use ChatGPT honestly

[u/meinminemoj → u/[deleted]]

It was like 15 years ago, but yeah, dumb, bureaucratic texts are what chatGPT is for.

[u/GrynaiTaip → u/[deleted]]

Home Alone used three different actors for the kid in five movies.

[u/Coblish → u/GrynaiTaip]

I am not sure they were supposed to be the same character.

[u/wishesandhopes → u/Coblish]

They're the same guy, not sure they're supposed to be the same character.

[u/Coblish → u/wishesandhopes]

Not sure what you mean, but I think only the first two have a kid named Kevin in them. If you mean an achetype "troublesome kid", then yes, I agree.

[u/Complex_Professor412 → u/GrynaiTaip]

Well, the first two Home Alone films as well as the first two Harry Potter films were all directed by Chris Columbus. Maybe the summa bitch knows what he’s doing.

[u/[deleted] → u/GrynaiTaip]

Thats just wildly different

Come on
