A Home Alone 3 2024 trailer titled “Kevin’s Revenge” has recently become an internet sensation, amassing 1.8 million views on YouTube. However, this prompted internet users to wonder whether the Home Alone 3 trailer was genuine or a cleverly crafted forgery.
The much-discussed trailer, which purports to be a sneak peek at a new Home Alone film, has fans buzzing with excitement. Unfortunately, the truth is far less exciting than the video’s illusion.
The “Kevin’s Revenge” trailer is a fan-made creation, expertly pieced together from snippets of older movies, TV shows, and commercials. Despite the disappointment of its lack of authenticity, fans continue to revel in the anticipation of what could have been the next chapter in the saga of the movie series.
Kevin, the mischievous kid from Home Alone that we all loved, has grown up. When the Wet Bandits, the burglars from the first film, escape from prison, things take a turn for the worse. They send Kevin a Christmas card, which worries him. The message on the card reads, “We’re back, little buddy.”
Kevin notices their beat-up van with the words ‘Oh-Kay Plumbing and Heating’ written on it. When the burglars were planning an attack, this van was parked outside his house.

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.”
Kevin speaks to his movie mom, Kate, played by Catherine O’Hara, in the trailer. He says,
“Do you recall the day you left, Mom?” I had to defend our home. I was just a kid, and you abandoned me.”
But here’s the catch: none of these scenes occurred. They were not filmed by the actors. It’s all thanks to @VJ4rawr2, a skilled editor who created this spoof trailer.
Another post about the movie is making the rounds on the internet, but it is AI-generated. The post’s caption included a synopsis of the film, 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. 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 afterward. Filming took place between February and May 1990 on locations across Illinois.”
The trailer poster is clearly AI-generated, with minute details indicating that it is fake.
