To celebrate the film's 30th anniversary, Home Alone star Senta Moses Mikan spoke about what it was like filming the holiday classic.
Mikan revealed in a recent interview that the film's famous dash scene through the O'Hare International Airport was the hardest took to film, as reported by THR.
Mikan revealed that the short yet memorable scene took days to film in the busy Chicago airport. "There were thousands of extras, all expertly choreographed so none of us would be in danger running at full speed through the American Airlines terminal at O’Hare," she said.
"And we ran at full speed. Sometimes we’d bump into each other, like a multi-car pileup on the expressway, and just crack up laughing. I can’t speak for anyone else, but as a kid, I loved it," she added. "There were so many setups and narrowly missed moments of disaster, but to my knowledge, no one got hurt. And frankly, that’s a Christmas miracle."
Recently, Home Alone's director Chris Columbus spoke on a newly discovered plothole from the 1990 film. He also expressed his displeasure with the planned Disney+ reboot.
Dan Mazer is set to direct the Home Alone reboot for Disney+, with Day and Streeter Seidel writing the script. Starring Archie Yates, Rob Delaney, Ellie Kemper Aisling Bea, Pete Holmes, Timothy Simons, Kenan Thompson, Ally Maki, Chris Parnell and SNL alum Mikey Day.
