"
What's the point?
wonders the filmmaker on November 12 during an interview on Insider.
I firmly believe that we do not make remakes of films that have had the longevity that
Mom, I missed the plane ”.
In this interview, Chris Columbus explains that he was not contacted to direct the film or to ask him for any advice.
No regrets, "
it's a waste of time for me
" he maintains.
“
You are not going to create a new tour de force.
It will not happen.
So why do it?
"
The director of
Madame Doubtfire
,
The Bicentennial Man
or even the first two
Harry Potters
has only one advice: “
Do your own thing.
Even if you fail miserably, at least you've found something original.
The filmmaker even admits that the second part (1992),
Maman, I still missed the plane
, is actually a remake of the first.
"
Is it necessary that he exists?
Yes, because some of these stunts make me laugh a lot, but I don't believe it should be done again.

The reboot ordered by Disney will therefore not have the blessing of its creator, somewhat resigned.
“
Listen, have fun.
I just feel the urge to do something new.
Life is short.
On these somewhat melancholy words from Chris Columbus, Macaulay Culkin sees his side instead as an opportunity to laugh.
“
This is what an updated version of
Mom, I Missed the Plane would look like,” the actor wrote on Instagram.
Less seller than the reboot?
Not so sure.
