Dwayne Johnson’s Big Trouble In Little China will continue the story

It has been a while since we heard anything new about Dwayne Johnson’s new version of Big Trouble In Little China. It had thought to have been a remake of the classic John Carpenter film that starred Kurt Russell as Jack Burton.

It seemed like an odd thing to do, but it seems that plans have changed.

During a recent interview with Collider, Hiram Garcia, president of production at Seven Bucks Productions (which was founded by co-CEOs Johnson and Dany Garcia) it turns out the new film will be a continuation of the story. Johnson will also be playing a new character.

Of course, this could all end up just being a remake in all but name, but it does appear that they have been listening to the response of fans to the original.

Still early days on this oneas Johnson has a stack of other movies to make first.

If they do go this way, there is also the slight chance we could get Kurt Russell back as Jack Burton!

How do you feel about the new film and what would you want to see happen in it?

I shared my thoughts on a sequel to Big Trouble In Little China in an episode of After the Ending which you can listen to below.
