WTF? The Rock to star in Big Trouble in Little China remake

[Otaking]

The Rock is going to star as Jack Burton and also produce a remake of Big Trouble in Little China, WTF! sacrilege!
It's one of the best films of the eighties, a stone cold classic. I can't possibly understand why they would think The Rock would match this movie.

This is a horrible idea.  BTiLC was done perfectly the first time around.

I'm not the hugest fan or anything, but it seems like a terrible idea. The original was a very "aware" homage/sendup of so many things that don't even exist in cinema in 2015, meaning that this movie will either have to be a "frozen in time" thing like the Brady Bunch movie or a completely overhauled wild card like Jem is, in which case even using the name is pointless.


This just keeps happening over and over again...

Agreed.
Some things should just be left alone.

No he'll be played by another wrestler actor, Hulk Hogan.

I don't even know why. Confused.

Brain hurts.

Next they will be remaking Buckaroo Banzai.

SOB must pay !!! Still id rather have a sequel or a movie set in the same universe then a remake.

Hey Dwayne: YOU LEAVE JACK BURTON ALONE!

Ridiculously bad idea! I vote Mike Meyers for lo-pan
