Wonder what 'ol Jack Burton would have to say about this...it's been reported that Fox is on board for a remake of Big Trouble In Little China, with one of the most bankable stars on the planet for the lead.
Dwayne Johnson is rumoured to be top choice to don the sweaty vest of everyone's favourite trucker for a mystical melee in Chinatown, and he's also the man behind the remake, as his production company are the ones who came with the idea to Fox.
The original movie was a financial flop in the 80's, taking just $11 million, before becoming something of a cult classic. Starring Kurt Russell and Kim Cattrell, it's goofy, insane and full of silly dialogue; which all adds up to one of the best films of that decade.
As a fan of the original, I'm hugely excited, as it is one of those movies that could benefit massively from a makeover, and there's no one more suited than Johnson to putting boots to mythical asses in Hollywood right now.
