Home Alone 3 Kevin's Revenge trailer is not real

Kevin, the mischievous kid we all loved from Home Alone, has grown up. Things take a turn when the Wet Bandits, the burglars from the first movie, get out of jail. They send Kevin a Christmas card that makes him worried. The card says, "We're back little buddy."

Kevin sees their old beat-up van with 'Oh-Kay Plumbing and Heating' written on it. This van used to be parked outside his home when the burglars were planning their attack.

Now, in the fake trailer called, we see Kevin in a new story. The trailer says,

"This holiday season, let's bring back a classic. Kevin McCallister is back, but his family is a bit strange during Christmas."

In the trailer, Kevin talks to his movie mom, Kate, played by Catherine O'Hara. He says,

"Remember the day you left, Mom? I had to protect our house. I was just a kid, and you left me all alone."

But, here's the twist – none of these scenes happened. The actors didn't film them. It's all thanks to someone clever with editing, @VJ4rawr2, who made this fake trailer.

There is another post doing rounds on the internet about the movie, however, it is AI-generated. The caption of the post featured a brief about the movie, which reads,

"Home Alone is a 1990 American Christmas comedy film directed by Chris Columbus and written and produced by John Hughes. The first film in the Home Alone franchise, the film stars Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, and Catherine O'Hara. Culkin plays Kevin McCallister, a boy who defends his suburban Chicago home from a home invasion by a pair of robbers after his family accidentally leaves him behind on their Christmas vacation to Paris."

It further mentioned,

"Hughes conceived Home Alone while on vacation, with Warner Bros. being originally intended to finance and distribute the film. However, Warner Bros. shut down production after it exceeded its assigned budget. 20th Century Fox assumed responsibilities following secret meetings with Hughes. Columbus and Culkin were hired soon afterwards. Filming took place between February and May 1990 on location across Illinois."

From the poster of the trailer, it is clear that it is AI-generated and has minute details that show that it is fake.
