Big Trouble in Little China remake

[imthebestatwhatido]

Two girls with green eyes!

 

[Snake Plissken]

Caitlyn Jenner should play Lopan.

What happened to originality?

Sigh... Just can't see them topping the original cast and all the cheesy set pieces. It's also a tough one to balance with today's sensibilities. Chinese mysticism was a cool mysterious concept in the 80s, but I don't think it holds that same allure today. They might try to go more realistic, serious or gritty, or all out action comedy that could easily fall flat. The Rock seems to be pretty much tied to everything these days. He's a charismatic actor, and this generations Arnold! and you can't blame him for cashing in. I would have preferred to see him as the new Terminator as opposed to stepping in as Jack Burton.

Remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like this, "NO."

Tomorrowland happened

 

[Wor-Gar]

Tom Hardy will play Jack.

 

[Deckard]

Caitlyn Jenner should play Lopan.

Lopan will be white and have a decoy ala Batman Begins and Iron Man 3. I'm thinking Bronnedict Cumberbunch.

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

Most people who haven't seen it in 20 years won't care enough to complain.

 

[Wor-Gar]

What does WD Richter think of this?

Most people who haven't seen it in 20 years won't care enough to have tantrums.

Fixed.

To remake this is to have entirely missed the point of what this was.

This can be said about anything, and doesn't mean a whole lot.

 

[Khev]

I hope they remake 2012.

 

[Solidus]

"Back to the Future" remake, where Marty is his own father.

This movie was a joke. A play on cliche and on action structure and on Chinese myths/stories. The humor of it was what makes it so endearing, and the choppy snappy dialogue (screwball comedy). I doubt the new remakers see it that way.

They'll probably Die Hard it up, add more fighting, more "drama", less "ghosts". Tom Hardy is Jack Burton.

 

[Chapter 2099]

Oh, course. Why not? Let's just remake 'em all.....

Let's remake Howard the Duck too.

Yes like when Scary Movie spoofed Scream. The movie you're spoofing WAS a satire you morons and they deconstructed the genre a hell of a lot better than you.

 

[Marsz]

I dig The Rock as much as the next guy, but he's not Jack Burton! He lacks the charisma that Kurt Russell brought to the character.

This is pointless and unnecessary.
