    1. The interior shots were a fabricated sound stage 2) The last shot isn’t even the same movie 3) This is most likely slop, considering the large discrepancies in dimensions.

    F-, -1/10

      House seems real. Here is a youtube short of a guy walking through it and an Architectural Digest article about the house, its history, and its transformation to the drab and now even more giant state it is in. I turned off javascript and was able to read the whole article. It also talks about how most of the filming was offsite, as you said.

      Current owner says they wish to restore the interior.

      I doubt it is ai. The same room with the fireplace can be seen in both the picture featuring it and the hallway shot where it is barely in view, but the same furniture, blinds, rug, wall molding, etc. is visible in both. The apparent discrepancy in dimensions is likely the focal length on the lenses used.

      The last shot is from the sequel. Same house still. But I don’t think that the after shot is necessarily the same room. The windows and fireplace placement doesnt line up.

          No that’s him at the beginning in his parents’ room playing with his talk man instead of packing for the trip. Thus the open suit case (his parents are packing).

          One can be forgiven for confusing them though. They are weirdly similar. Like Trump’s interior designer and The McCallisters shopped at the same store. Or like the same set designer did both (cuz they did).

          Almost identical 4 post queen size bed, similar color and busy pattern of wallpaper, mirrored lamps and framed pictures on either side of the bed, the pictures have similar sizes and frame thickness, the placement of the door, the placement of the TVs, the table at the foot of the bed (though the latter is a room service food cart). Even filmed at a similar angle, which makes me wonder if these similarities were intentional for some reason. The biggest difference is the bedspread colors.

      Yeah, set dressers to a hell of a job. Not just a sound stage but the entire house was dressed to be Christmas colors. Everything is red, green, and gold. Because it’s a Christmas movie. I doubt the house actually looked like this.
