In 1990, the "post-90s" began to come into this world.
At the same time, "Little Devil Is Home" was released, and there was a global fire. The cost of less than $20 million was exchanged for nearly $480 million at the box office. Producer Twentieth Century Fox hit the iron while it was hot and created two sequels in 7 years.
So the entire series spans the childhood of the post-90s generation, and before Harry Potter, the most popular foreign children's movie was the "Little Devil Is Home" series.
Chris Columbus, the director who directed the first two films in the series, was the director of the later Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and it can be said that this director was the director who arranged most of the post-90s childhood.
The oscar best supporting actor Joe Pesci's joining has brought a strong boost to "Little Devil Is Home", and the stupid thief he plays is a funny bearer, without his interpretation, the movie may lose a lot of color.
The 10-year-old young male protagonist Macaulay Kalkin became popular overnight, he became the hottest child star in the United States at that time, the film salary went to $8 million, Michael Jackson invited him to his "Dream Manor" as a guest.
But with the departure of Chris Columbus, Joe Percy, and Macaulay Kalkin, the word-of-mouth box office of "Little Devil 3" is much worse than before.
The fourth and fifth films are completely different creative lineups, and they are both TV movies, not released in theaters, so strictly speaking, they are no longer "sequels" to the original works.
After that, Fox gave up the child IP until it was fully acquired by Disney.
Disney, who is good at playing IP, has raised Marvel and Pixar, and for Fox's IP, it must not let go.
Just in early August, Disney announced plans for the development of Fox movies, and the reboot of "Ghost in the Shell" was imminent.
The new version of "Little Devil Is Home" will be broadcast on the disney+ streaming platform, and it is likely to be made into a serial American drama.
As soon as the news came out, it instantly evoked the memories and feelings of countless people.
Among them was the protagonist of the year, Macaulay Kalkin.
He manually @ Disney on the social platform, and Mao sui proposed to star in the reboot version of the work.
It's like Daniel Radcliffe going to play Harry Potter again, and it should have been an exciting event.
The reality, however, is worrying.
If you don't believe me, see what happened to Macaulay Kalkin.
Fast forward to 1995, when Macaulay Calkin's new novel Rich Rich Rich Ritchie has achieved good word-of-mouth, making at least one film a year almost every year since he became famous.
In this way, he became the "economic pillar" of the family, worthy of the name of "little devil".
However, he also became the object of contention for his parents. Because of the breakdown of the relationship, the parents in order to fight for his custody, from husband and wife to enemies.
Yes, as long as you can raise Kalkin, you probably don't have to worry about it in the next life.
Seeing his parents turn against each other, Kalkin made a decision to quit the film industry, study well, and stop filming. Now let's see what else you are fighting for.
It was such an act of harmony for the sake of family harmony that angered his father, and the father-son relationship has since broken down and has not been restored to this day. The father ruthlessly told the media that he no longer regarded Macaulay as a son.
Kalkin also lost his original family.
Kalkin, who had lost his family, did not have the guidance of his parents, and he began to do some wayward things.
In 1996, he fell in love with the child star Rachel Minner, who was also born in 80, and the two were engaged at the age of 16.
They actually got married two years later.
Once child stars, it seems that they have grown up.
Who knows, the beauty that is too easy to obtain is only an illusion set by God.
After only two years together, the golden boy and the golden girl broke up.
At this time, Macaulay Kalkin wanted to return to the film world and put his sustenance on work. With his past fame, it is not difficult to find a play. In 2003, he made a comeback in "Party Monsters" and wanted to surprise the audience, but his time was over, no one paid attention to him, and the film suffered a box office failure.
After that, Kalgin continued to take several plays, and the effect was not ideal. Once a child star, reduced to a second-line actor, such an embarrassing identity change, he can not accept.
Suffered from a series of events such as two consecutive family breakdowns, a bad career, and the death of his friend Michael Jackson, McCauley Calkin collapsed.
Drugs have become his "antidote" and a stumbling block on the road of his life. In 2011, he was prosecuted by the police for illegally storing drugs. Faced with a messy life, he smoked, drank heavily, and played in bands.
In 2012, he formed his own rock band "The Pizza Underground" and began touring. But the audience did not buy his account, and in 2014 his band was exposed to be angrily thrown beer bottles by the audience and tragically ousted from the stage.
Anyway, the band career was a complete failure.
Without the erosive band life, Kalkin's life has improved.
In 2015, he attended the 25th anniversary of "Little Devil Is Home" and re-took over the role at the same time. On Christmas Eve, he brought the web series "Dryvrs" to "pay tribute" to his famous work.
In the short film, he appears in the shape of long hair, many of which repeat the plot of "Little Devil Is Home", and the end also recreates the most classic scene in the original film, Kevin holding his face with both hands and emitting a creepy scream.
In 2018, he played the grown-up Kevin again. In a 60-second ad for Google Assistant, he cut his long hair and showed the audience a series of things that happened when Google Assistant and he owned his own house.
He told everyone again and again that the eccentric Kevin wasn't gone.
In 2019, he participated in his friend Seth Green's new film "Tai Yu Ji", although the reputation was not good, he finally returned to the position of actor.
He posted ugly photos on social platforms to ridicule Disney's restart plan, in fact, it is only deliberately "self-black". He did attract the attention of the media, and it wasn't long before he updated the story saying "Disney, call me!" "Expressed the will to return.
In fact, when he participated in the Fei Lun show at the end of 2018, he had returned to a "human appearance", his appearance was not very old, and acting was completely fine.
For Macaulay Calkin, if he can really cooperate with Disney and return to the new version of "Little Devils", it will definitely help his career a lot, so he will introduce himself, at least to have an audition opportunity.
After all, he was 39 years old.
If you don't take the opportunity, this life will pass like this.
If he does return, Kalkin may be able to play a father role and let Kevin's son continue to be "the little devil". If Disney doesn't have confidence in him, it can only be a cameo at best, which is a tribute to the original.
Some netizens also expressed uneasiness about the restart version, because now the times are different, if the child is alone at home, he can notify his parents directly with a text message, or even call the police, there is no need to deal with the stupid thief.
So before considering the actor issue, Disney still thinks about how to unfold the story more realistically.
People get older day by day, but they are always afraid. - "The Little Devil Is Home"
