I would be excited, but from what Hollywood is churning out these days, I expect this will be a disaster.

I can’t believe it’s been 50 years.

I'd rather see a prequel that focuses on the childhood of the Old Man, set in the 1890s.

Though I wouldn't mind seeing this. Billingsly is one of the few childhood actors who didn't succumb to drugs, poverty, or tragedy. And he still looks like a friggin' kid.

Unless its based on a writing from Jean Shepard, it stands about as much chance as the other sequels. Without Jean or Darrin McGavin……aint nuthin there. Have the same impact as a Gilligan Island reunion

In today’s woke world they’ll have him buying a “assault rifle” and shooting some transgendered black person in the eye with it.

He will turn in his BB gun in a sign of unity with leftist gun buy backs. His wife will have an abortion on Christmas day. His son will decide he is really a girl and want a doll for Christmas and his daughter will decide she is a boy but want a doll too. The whole family will join Black Lives Matter and drown when the sea levels rise because of climate change.

It was largely a boy’s movie and they can’t have that. It will be like the remake of Sandlot.

I figured they would cancel the old version, so I bought it on DVD just after the New Year. Not sure how this one will turn out.

In the '70s-set sequel, Ralphie will return home to his old house on Cleveland Street to give his own children the same kind of 'magical Christmas' he experienced as a child.

No Darren McGavin, no Jean Shepherd narrating (or writing the source material). I won't get my hopes up.

"Peter Billingsley, who starred as Ralphie Parker in A Christmas Story when he was only 12, will be returning to lead a sequel to the perennial holiday favorite."

Will he or his brother be gay, or a tranny?? And will he have saved his pink rabbit jammies that his aunt made for him?

Wasn’t there already a sequel to the movie?

Bob Clark would direct it, but he was killed in a traffic accident by an illegal.

Um.....this could be good. Or it could be bad. And I hate to tinker with a classic. They tend to be bad.
