Couple of thoughts/predictions

Ok, let's start with my prediction for the new movie. Wouldn't it be crazy if Peter from the OG movie was playing Jurgen? I mean, he had access to the game, and the common theory is that Jurgen has been in the game for a long time

How did the kids and Alex in WTtJ and TNL not know about Alan Parrish? Wasn't the whole town of Brantford built by the Parrishes? Once the OG group finished the game and things went back to normal, the shoe factory kept going and the town most likely didn't devolve into poverty. Surely they'd recognize the Parrish name, no?

Does anyone else think that, because the game is magic, that it chose Alex's dad to find it on the beach? It "thinks" (as is made apparent in the OG movie), so I believe that it deliberately made itself visible and "called" to Alex's dad so he would find it and bring it home.
