Tweeting 'Home Alone' With a Full Cast as It Happened

by Thomas Houston on December 24, 2009 at 02:59 PM

23 Twitter accounts are working in unison for a modern retelling of 1990's 'Home Alone.' The Home Alone Project, created by design studio Nation, tells "the narrative of John Hughes' classic Christmas movie through the medium of Twitter as if it's happening in real time." It's probably the best use of Twitter lists we've seen yet; by watching the /homealone list, you can see every line and scene play out as it happens.

Because the events of the film play out over several days leading up to Christmas morning, older brother Buzz McCallister naively posted just 20 minutes ago, "We live in the most boring street in the United States where nothing even remotely dangerous will ever happen. Period." Nation stays faithful to the script, going so far as to provide the movie's soundtrack, and including seemingly minor characters like Fuller McCalliseter, the IllinoisPD, and even Little Nero's pizza.
