Posted on Monday, August 27th, by Ben Pearson. Johnson has talked about wanting to bring Carpenter on board in some capacitybut we never heard if that actually happened. So litrle are just having a lot of fun. But yeah, no remake. With Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and now this, Johnson seems to be making a habit of continuing a story that began in hig beloved movie.

Big Trouble in Little China Update
John Carpenter described Big Trouble in Little China , the 11th film he directed, as an «action adventure comedy kung fu ghost story monster movie. Dun portrayed Wang Chi, Burton’s friend and the real action star of the duo. Though the film was a flop upon its release, it has since gained cult classic status. Gary Goldman and David D. Weinstein penned a script together about a cowboy in Chinatown in The Jack Burton in Goldman and Weinstein’s version was an amazing gunman who could shoot the eyes out of a kite in the sky but couldn’t hit anybody in a fight. Veteran «script doctor» W. Richter wrote his version in 10 weeks. Golden Child is a very fine script. It has its problems, but it also has one big plus—Eddie Murphy. It will be hard to pull off that script. But if they do, it could be a wonderful movie! Carpenter limited his prep to 12 weeks, so that Trouble could open in July, five months before Murphy’s movie. Today, Big Trouble is the more highly regarded film. A special effects coordinator got yelled at by Carpenter after one of the squibs on the wall went off much sooner than expected.
To celebrate its 30th birthday, here’s your definitive look back at the John Carpenter/Kurt Russell cult masterpiece.
When it was first announced back in that Dwayne Johnson was coming on to produce and star in a remake of Big Trouble in Little Chinafans were understandably a bit nervous. Jack can handle himself, but he always seems to be one or two steps behind—which makes the story all the more entertaining to watch. 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. So we are just having a lot of fun. But yeah, no remake.
The question then becomes how closely connected will this new film be to the original, and would Kurt Russell then potentially be open to reprising his role as Jack Burton? And who would Johnson be playing, if not Jack? There are a lot of questions and obviously this film is still in development so plenty could change, but this is an encouraging update on an intriguing project.

The film was released in the United States on July 2, They go into the mysterious underworld beneath Chinatown, where they face an ancient sorcerer named David Lo Pan James Hong. The project fulfilled Carpenter’s long-standing desire to make a martial arts film. A Chinese street gang, the Lords of Death, tries to kidnap another Chinese girl at the airport who is being met by her friend Gracie Law Kim Cattrallintending to sell her as a sex slave. After Jack intervenes, they take Miao Yin instead. In Jack’s big-rig truck, he and Wang track the Lords of Death to the back alleys of Chinatown, where they find a funeral procession that quickly erupts into a street fight between the Chang Sing and Wing Kong, two ancient Chinese societies. Horrified, Jack exits his truck, only to find Lo Pan, who is merely annoyed. Wang hurriedly guides Jack through the alleys, escaping the carnage and mayhem, but Jack’s truck is stolen. They try to explain to an incredulous Jack some of the ancient knowledge and sorcery the Chinese brought with them to America, eventually devising a plan to infiltrate a brothel, where they think Miao Yin is being held. Trying to rescue her, Jack and Wang are quickly subdued by Rain and taken to see Lo Pan, now in the form of a crippled, old man. Wang tells Jack that Lo Pan needs a special green-eyed girl to break an ancient curse, and he intends to sacrifice Miao Yin. Centuries ago, Lo Pan, a great warrior, but most of all a powerful wizard, was defeated in battle by the first sovereign emperor Qin Shi Huang. Although Lo Pan can be temporarily granted a decrepit body by supplication to the gods, in order for him to permanently break the curse and regain his human form, he must marry a woman with green eyes. This simple act will appease Ching Dai, the God of the East. But to satisfy the Emperor, he must sacrifice. When Jack and Wang’s friends attempt to save them, they are also captured, and Lo Pan notes that Gracie has green eyes. Lo Pan decides to sacrifice Gracie, while making Miao Yin his unwilling wife. After getting the drop on Thunder, Jack and Wang escape, also freeing many women kept in holding cells.
