10 Movie Remakes You Didn't Know Were Coming In 2019

4. Big Trouble In Little China

At this point, just about every movie John Carpenter has ever worked on is being primed for a big-budget remake. Halloween (which is technically a sequel, but is clearly paying homage to beats from the original) is set to drop this October, while the likes of Escape From New York and, of course, Big Trouble in Little China are also in the works.

It's the latter that's perhaps the most interesting though. In development for a while now, Dwayne Johnson is both producing and starring in the movie, with a script by Ashely Miller and Zack Stentz already being written. Though the team onboard is impressive, however, John Carpenter's input sadly hasn't been courted.

Likewise, while they haven't exactly been the most faithful to the source material, Dwayne Johnson has a pretty good track record at reinventing franchises with him at the helm (with Jumanji in particular making megabucks last year), so he might actually be able to pull off the monumental task of reinventing this cult classic.
