Despite getting flack from fans of the original movie, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson reportedly still intends to remake the cult classic “Big Trouble in Little China.” I really love that movie (no matter how politically incorrect), but I still can’t see the point of remaking it, or how Johnson could play the inept everyman role of Jack Burton played by Kurt Russell. When asked about the remake, Kurt Russell also wondered why the remake and what spin Johnson would put on his character.
While news of a remake of “Big Trouble in Little China” may be troubling to fans, they might be encouraged by the announcement of a coffee table book on the making of the movie. The 30th anniversary of the movie’s release is on July 2, 2016.
