:patrice:I actually think it could work. If he plays as "The Rock" instead of Dwayne Johnson the actor, I can see it.



Yeah :mjlol:

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.
The movie is a classic. The movie worked because of the times it was made in. Just like when they wanted to remake The Warriors. That movie wouldn't work today at all.

Behind You
Hiram Garcia, president of production at Seven Bucks Productions (which was founded by co-CEOs Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia) and one of the producers on the new Big Trouble in Little China movie answered some questions about the movie in an interview with Collider:

“There’s a lot of things going on with [Big Trouble in Little China]. We are in the process of developing that, and let me tell you, the idea is not to actually remake Big Trouble in Little China. You can’t remake a classic like that, so what we’re planning to do is we’re going to continue the story. We’re going to continue the universe of Big Trouble in Little China. Everything that happened in the original exists and is standalone and I think there’s only one person that could ever play Jack Burton, so Dwayne would never try and play that character. So we are just having a lot of fun. We’re actually in a really great space with the story that we’ve cracked. But yeah, no remake. It is a continuation, and we are deep into development on that as well, and I think you’ll start hearing some things about that probably soon.”

Good to get confirmation that it is a sequel instead of a remake.
