During an April appearance onWatch What Happens Live, Thompson teasedHome Sweet Home Alone,revealing new details about the family holiday movieto hostAndy Cohen.
“It was a long shoot. It started in Canada and then got shut down and came back around because of the pandemic and stuff, so it’s been very splotchy, I guess, as far as trying to get it done is concerned,” he said.
Thompson added that the film was close to being finished at the time, and that he had already completed “one of the last steps” of re-recording audio for the film.
Home Sweet Home Alonemarks the sixth film in theHome Alonefranchise. The original John Hughes movie starring Macaulay Culkin earned two Oscar noms for score and original song. The most recentHome Alonemovie,Home Alone: The Holiday Heist, premiered on ABC Family in 2012.
