Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in talks to remake Cult Classic "Big Trouble in Little China"

If the real jack burton is Kurt Russell then maybe but I need him in 90% of the scenes. The rock would have to be a co star

Theres an Old Man Jack comic out, they could bring kurt Russell back for that

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

What you talkin bout? As a fan of old school kung fu flicks i thought the action was on point

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.

Sounds like they switched up direction after the quasi-sequel angle helped Jumanji survive and then thrive at the box office. A new story in the same universe will already have make them garner more goodwill with the fans than trying to copy that Carpenter/Russell magic.

Plus it gives them the greenlight to have Russel show up as Jack Burton and give them that nostalgia boost instead of fighting the nerd rage that other remakes received.

This movie is so classic. I just don't know if they'll do the remake Justice
