(CTN News) – A Christmas Story Christmas I can’t believe how fast life moves. You are playing kick the can one day with a couple of kids named Flick and Schwartz.
Then the next thing you know, you’re a certified adult.”
This is the opening line of the trailer for the upcoming movie “,” which was released on Monday.
A grown up Ralphie Parker, again played by Peter Billingsley, returns with his own family to his childhood home in the sequel to 1983’s “A Christmas Story”, hoping to recreate for his own children the magic of his past Christmas celebrations.
Watching “A Christmas Story Christmas” is as simple as following these steps:
Make sure you subscribe to HBO Max before the movie premieres on November 17th.
There are some scenes in the trailer that will be familiar to fans of the original film; among these will be a visit to the house on Cleveland Street and Santa’s visit to Higbee’s department store in the trailer.
However, some die-hard fans might consider this to be heresy. According to reports, the movie was shot in Hungary earlier this year, so the house is not “the house,” which is located on West 11th Street in Cleveland’s Tremont neighborhood, which is the location of the movie.
Obviously, it is not the original Higbee’s on Public Square, which is now known as JACK Cleveland Casino, which is in the same location.
Another significant change is the fact that Julie Hagerty, who is best known for her role as Elaine Dickinson in the “Airplane” A Christmas Story Christmas movies, takes over the role of Ralphie’s mother in the movie.
The actress Melinda Dillon, who played his mother in the original version of the movie, has announced her retirement from acting. In 2006, Darren McGavin, who played his dad, the “Old Man,” passed away after a long illness.
There are however a lot of the original cast members returning for this movie, including Scott Schwartz as Flick (who owns a bar, according to the trailer), R.D. Robb as Schwartz, Zack Ward as Officer Scut Farkus, and Ian Patrella as Ralph’s brother Randy.
The movie appears to be stuck with the same goal as Ralph. This is to bring back memories of the 1983 classic and to create new ones at the same time.
The video shows Ralphie and his friends offering a toast to the deceased man referred to in the title as “Old Man,” saying “he was the finest.”
A big question is on everyone’s mind: “What the hell did I do?” Ralphie asks in the trailer, which is what many skeptics are asking.
Is it likely to work? ember began to glow again slowly, Ralphie said.
The movie will be available on HBO Max on Nov. 17.
