[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Big trouble is headed for The Rock.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is currently in negotiations to headline a Big Trouble in Little China remake, which X-Men: First Class screenwriters Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz will pen.

If the deal goes through, Johnson will play Jack Burton, the hard-nosed trucker who finds himself caught in a mystical battle that secretly rages in New York City’s Chinatown. Kurt Russell held the role for the original film, which John Carpenter directed.

Stay tuned to ComicBook.com for more updates on Big Trouble in Little China as they develop.

Y'know what I hate the idea of a remake. But The Rock as Jack. That sounds fun

Blasphemy

 

[Snake Plissken]

**** the ****ing Rock already. Another utterly pointless remake that won't hold a candle to the original. There's only one Jack Burton.

Can The Rock grow a mullet?

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

Sounds ****ing idiotic.

Total Recall, Robocop, Jem and the Holograms. Hollywood sure is having one hell of a mid-life crisis as of late.

 

[Snake Plissken]

And we still have the ****** Escape from New York remake to look forward to...

 

[Solidus]

Remakes up the rear end. This is what Hollywood has amounted to.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Wow, it seems some people are upset...I'm shocked!

 

[Snake Plissken]

"The check is in the mail."

"It's all in the reflexes."

"This is going to take crackerjack timing, Wang."

"We may be trapped."

"Jack Burton, me!"

I can just see the nightmare in my head, of these lines and more getting bastardized. Staph Hollywood, staph.

Big trouble is my favorite movie from my childhood. This is disappointing

They can glue one on his head

 

[Reinhardt]

While it seems completely unnecessary, The Rock would be great. The guy can act, is a badass, and does comedy very very well.

 

[EVILFACE]

I like The Rock, but srsly, this movie needs no remake.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Guess BTTF will be remade soon

 

[cilantropants]

It is also possible not to watch it and just enjoy the original that isn't altered one iota because of this. Weird idea, I know.

Most people complaining online probably haven't seen the original in like 20 years

I have it on DVD. I love the original. It's an 80s classic IMO. They can remake it if they want, but I'll stick with the original.
