Screw you Hollywood! (Yet another remake... Big Trouble in Little China)

[Fingolfin269]

*Updated title to refer to Big Trouble in Little China*

Not only are you considering remaking the best movie of all time (all time!!) but with the freaking Rock? What's next, Vince Vaughn as Don Corleone?

This better be the comic books answer to the onion because I really hope I'm being trolled here. I don't mind a remake of this I guess but certainly don't want to see wtf the Rock is cooking here. (Yah I know it's optional to see the remake but don't let that logic get in the way of being irrational right?)

The Rock is awesome; Big Trouble in Little China is awesome; I don't see the issue.

They make lame remakes because people actually pay money to see them.

So it's all your fault.

Tired of super hero movies? Too bad, they make tons of money on them.

I think that movie worked back then because China, Chinatown and the Chinese were all still somewhat mysterious at the time. Not sure if this is going to play in 2015.

Of course it will. This time, Chinatown will be filled with campy, tourist restaurants and the rest of the people will be IT professionals.

I don't think The Rock can pull off Lo Pan.

The Rock isn't Lo Pan? I thought he was going to be ol' Jack Burton.

 

[rudder]

Point Break will be the must see remake.

I don't think The Rock can pull off Lo Pan.

:sneaky:

 

[IronWing]

I haven't seen the original. Any good or should I wait for the refresh?

 

[MongGrel]

The original is worth a watch.

I do now and then.

:thumbsup:

 

[Schmide]

He'd be a great thunder though.

Edit: I think Chris Pratt could pull off a Jack Burton

I love Big Trouble in Little China, and don't quite mind a remake attempt of it. I also like The Rock, as he's pretty damn prototypical for an action star...but not for every action role. He's fuckin' huge. Jack Burton got his ass handed to him constantly in BTiLC. That's not something that quite fits with The Rock. Guess we'll see.

I'll reserve judgement.

Still would prefer something original along those lines.

If someone one is going to remake something, I'd rather someone would make a real Starship Troopers, instead of the other mess that it was.

Verhoeven really fucked that one up IMHO.

[AznAnarchy99]

Meh almost all of The Rock's movies have been enjoyable so I'm up for it.

So very very very wrong. Starship Troopers is fucking incredible. Amazing satire! Verhoeven absolutely nailed it.

Will they replace John Carpenter's score with the sounds of Taylor Swift and Fallout Boy?
