Every time you see Ryan Reynolds’ name in the news, you know next thing you read is going to be hilarious. Deadpool actor never disappoints, but he’s really outdone himself this time around. He’s developing a stoner comedy inspired by the cult holiday classic Home Alone.

Reynolds will produce and potentially star in the upcoming project with an awfully familiar plot. Stoned Alone revolves around a 20-something pothead who misses his flight for a holiday vacation. The protagonist doesn’t see this as the biggest tragedy in the world. He decides to simply go back home and enjoy this new-found free time by getting high. His plans are derailed by intruders who break into his house. Stoner comes up with an elaborate plan to protect his sweet home, high as a kite the whole time.

Relative newcomer Augustine Frizzell will direct the comedy, based on the script by Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider. Not much is known about Stoned Alone at this point, but fans are already asking the most important question. Will Macaulay Culkin give it his blessing and agree to make a cameo? The role in Home Alone launched him into stardom, but the actor said he would do a remake only if it was set in the woods, Rambo style. Let’s hope Reynolds and his team are taking notes!
