Big Trouble in Little China director John Carpenter SLAMS Dwayne Johnson’s upcoming sequel

The 70-year-old director is best known for films like Halloween, Escape from New York and The Thing.

While his 1986 flop Big Trouble in Little China has since become a cult classic.

Now a sequel is in the works starring Dwayne Johnson, but Carpenter does not appear happy about it.

According to Cinema Blend he said: “They want a movie with Dwayne Johnson. That’s what they want.”

He added: “So they just picked that title. They don’t give a s*** about me and my movie. That movie wasn’t a success.”

Originally it was thought that The Rock’s Big Trouble in Little China was a remake, but a producer has clarified it’s a continuation.

Dany Garcia, who is also Johnson’s ex-wife, said to Collider: “There’s a lot of things going on with [Big Trouble in Little China].

“We are in the process of developing that, and let me tell you, the idea is not to actually remake Big Trouble in Little China.”

She continued: “You can’t remake a classic like that, so what we’re planning to do is we’re going to continue the story.

“We’re going to continue the universe of Big Trouble in Little China.

“Everything that happened in the original exists and is standalone and I think there’s only one person that could ever play Jack Burton, so Dwayne would never try and play that character.”

She added: “So we are just having a lot of fun.

“We’re actually in a really great space with the story that we’ve cracked. But yeah, no remake.

“It is a continuation, and we are deep into development on that as well, and I think you’ll start hearing some things about that probably soon.”

A release date is yet to be set for the Big Trouble in Little China sequel.
