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 Li...
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.
