Filming Ensues

Instead of heading back home and jumping into post-production, they quickly headed back inside and the crew prepared the scene once again.

The McAllister family cast was readied up by the make-up team. This time, they had a subtle but noticeable change in their look.

This was the next year already. A new Home Alone movie and an opening scene for a different production.

Sullivan surveyed the scene and gave a nod of approval. "Alright, everyone! Get prepared and have your roles memorized. We're going to have a busy but cold summer vacation.

After filming a scene in Kevin's room where ingenious dominoes and toys are masterfully interconnected, this original house has finally outlived its use.

The crew had to head out to other locations after thanking the helpful neighbors and taking care of the props.

With a planned traveling team, the next movie would be set in a different house.

Movie-wise, it should just be around the neighborhood. In reality, they had to use a house quite far away that fit the design for the second movie.

In Home Alone 2, Old Man Marley has taken it to himself to babysit Kevin. The family is set to vacate again but Kevin insist on staying behind, so Old Man Marley had to reassure Kate McAllister.

Kevin loves staying at Marley's house because of its plentiful space and his passion for trapping mechanisms was helped by the old man.

It had all become refined and scientific which would become the selling point for the second film.

While the family was vacationing, Old Man Marley has an unfortunate health condition. This essentially sets the scene for Kevin to be home alone again.

Kevin would be up against Old Man Marley's past associates and hilarity ensues.

On one day of filming, early in the morning, Alexander was still adamant about his daily jog.

His little jacketed-up figure while running on a paved road was conspicuous as always and the chatter of citizens would not stop.

"I heard that you are an actor, boy. Keep it up and you'll be as buff as Rambo and Rocky." This was said by an old man who is a big Stallone fan.

"Can you stop for a while and sign this? If you reach the level of Tom Cruise, this would be worth a lot in the future." This was what a frank profiteering lady asked for. Alexander indulged, only because it was impolite to reject.

"If he even becomes a star, I heard that his movie isn't even made by a certified film company. I doubt that he'd even make it." An envious man with obvious film background said with jealousy on the side.

Anyways, Alexander was too uncaring to rebut the guy and he just ran forward.

Aside from keeping his health high, the morning jog helps with his growth. He, who had the size of an eight-year-old, had visibly grown.

It helped with the film setting but the quirk of growing up in a camera was emphasized. Growth spurts are normally unnoticeable until you notice phenomena but being filmed helped record the process.

As an adult soul in a child's body, Alexander was still disturbed by the film phenomenon.

He could very well imagine the weirdness it brings to child stars like the Olsen twins and Culkin. He wasn't a star chaser but he was still informed about the brokenness they would develop into.

Alexander just wanted the money, if he knew that he would still be plagued by the child star curse, he would've been a pure writer slash producer and pushed the trouble to someone else.

Hence, these morning jogs had become even more important with extra benefits pertaining to mental health. Albeit, its effects were not too helpful at all.

Filming ensued. The villain structure of this Creed film is set to be the same as Home Alone 3.

The RC cars, trained parrots, and trampoline traps in the movie are a homage to that film. Despite its low reception due to Culkin not reprising the role, Alexander could tell that the movie was not bad.

Another homage to that movie was the implanted advertisement of a universal remote control.

It was used to troll an old lady on the other side of the neighborhood. Alexander had to applaud his grandfather with the ad as it eased their finances with the already low budget.

The military background of Old Man Marley was also set up by the ingenious use of binoculars and props laying around the house.

The conflict arose from Marley hoarding something that the villains wanted. While the old man was recuperating they set out to attack but are thwarted by the ingenious Kevin.

It was a secret box and key situation with Kevin guarding the box with traps and hoarding the key as he ran around the crannies of the house.

Props and action design is what dragged the filming but it was still relatively fast compared to other film crews.

After nearing a month on the schedule, filming wrapped with the blowing up of fireworks and a cottage.

It mostly follows the end of Home Alone 3 with the family coincidentally returning at the end of the confrontation.

For the Creed version, the box and key reveal sublimated the end that changed the relationship between Kevin's mom and the mysterious Marley.

These spoilers and plot twists may take about a year from filming to be known to the public, so Sullivan already set up contingencies to prevent any leaks from happening.

Without delay, Home Alone 2 was wrapped and every needed cast has set off to the next production and film location.

The siblings would mostly be cameos on the third film and new cast members are set to join.

Most of the kids had already been sent home and set to enjoy their summers. Alexander didn't have that luxury along with the mother actress.

Miss Megan was dedicated, had considerable acting skills, and her character had greater screen time and development.

She was probably the only one that the Creeds didn't hesitate paying her worth with.

While villains and side characters were giving themselves a pat on the back for being able to join a production and earning pocket money, she was the one whose salary was union standard.

Thank goodness for the Creeds that the implanted ads would be the ones carrying for her pay.
