I'm In. Have anybody watched the OG recently? If one movie needed an upgrade, its this one. Even the martial arts from the asians was bad:heh:

SO many willing to hate on a Black Man's ambition...that's to be expected. But the Rock's mindset is one to be trusted..whatever he has in mind, it will make sense. It usually does.

I never watched the little movie...might this time around..we'll see.

Now this is a remake I'd be excited about.

The Rock in that role just seems right.

The film topped both the domestic and international box office and cemented Johnson’s place as America’s premiere action star.

This is incredibly when you realize his acting career started over 10 years ago.

hmmm..my initial reaction was "whaaaat? :ohhh:"

I'm glad Rocky loves the flick but I already know his Jack Burton is going to be exactly the way the studio initially wanted Jack Burton to be: the classic hero whereas Russell and Carpenter knew he was the sidekick

i think people sleep on how versatile the rock is as an actor. he can play the satircal, "everyone's in on the joke except me" sidekick.

He can. But will he that's what I'm wondering. I know he can do it cause he's made an ass of himself before but he's a bigger star now

The fukkin balls.

THE fukkIN BALLS...on Hollywood.

:aicmon:

I'm thoroughly disgusted.
I can't even eat my dinner.

There's no way you remake that classic.

There's only 1 Jack Burton, and it's NOT Dwayne Johnson.

Who?
Jack Burton...ME!!!

Balls? Breh, to them, this is a movie that flopped at the box office. To fans it's something different but to them they see it being able to make money with the right guy in the role
