The 1986 movie Kurt Russell’s Jack Burton helping his friend Wang Chi to rescue his fiancée from the ancient sorcerer known as David Lo Pan. Clearly that approach worked, as Welcome to the Jungle was a critical and commercial success, paving the way for Jumanji: The Next Level to come out in 2019 and Jumanji 4 being developed.Īlas, evidently there are hurdles to getting this new take on Big Trouble in Little China off the ground, but Dwayne Johnson, Hiram Garcia and the other creative minds involved aren’t giving up on it, whether John Carpenter, who directed the original Big Trouble in Little China, approves or not. While that movie existed in the same continuity as the original Jumaji from 1995, it could easily be enjoyed by folks who hadn’t seen the Robin Williams-starring flick and refreshed the property by transforming the eponymous game from a out-of-control board game into a video game. So Big Trouble in Little China is looking to follow in the footsteps of 2017’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, which Dwayne Johnson starred in alongside Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan. So needless to say we are still working on making that happen but as with any great project the road is not easy but we are sticking to it! We're going to figure out a way to continue the story of Big Trouble in Little China. Similar to what we did with Jumanji we would continue the story and make sure the original stands on it’s own since it means so much to us and fans all around the world. We have a really fun idea on what we'd want to do with it, especially since our goal was never to remake Big Trouble but simply continue it. It’s still an ambition of ours but unfortunately there are complications that come with a legacy property like that which has so much attached to it from over the years. However, updates have been few and far between since then, so Collider asked producer Hiram Garcia, who co-founded Seven Bucks Productions with Johnson, if the movie is still happening. We first learned Dwayne Johnson would be leading a new version of Big Trouble in Little China back in 2015, and by 2018, it was clarified that this would be a sequel to the 1986 original starring Kurt Russell rather than a remake/reboot.
