Home Alone 3 (Macaulay Culkin version)

Note: Please, do not add "John Hughes died in 2009.", because this was before he died.

During the production of Home Alone 3, one of the drafts was going to have Macaulay Culkin reprising his role as Kevin McCalister.

Plot

The film focuses on the teenaged Kevin McCalister, which Harry and Marv would return as the villains, but the rest of the details were unknown.

Why It Was Cancelled

1. Macaulay Culkin turned down the offer to reprise the role of Kevin, because he had quit acting after Richie Rich and had grown weary of "childish" roles.
2. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, the original actors of Harry and Marv, declined to reprise their roles because they wanted to pursue other projects.
3. Chris Columbus did not return as the director and was replaced by Raja Gosnell, the editor of the first two Home Alone films.
