There have been a ton of remakes and reboots over the years. While, we are against more of them than not, every once and a while we have a soft spot for a project. In this case, we are very interested to see what would come from a remake of a John Carpenter classic. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, James Wan spoke briefly about how he has always fantasized about remaking Big Trouble in Little China.

Big Trouble in Little China is an absolute staple on would be placed high on my list of all-time faves. The ultimate tale of good versus evil and light magic versus dark. Now, Wan has gone on record stating that he would love to make this remake a reality with Conjuring star, Patrick Wilson in the starring role.

The recent combination of Blumhouse Pictures and Atomic Monster is a huge powerhouse and one that is capable of creating just about anything it chooses to. So, the idea of a Big Trouble in Little China remake isn’t too far-fetched right now. Even with the power to make something like this happen, Wan has already stated that this is just a fantasy and that he will not actually try to get this made in reality.

“One of the big reasons I love working with Patrick on my films is, he’s such a film buff,” Wan told Entertainment Weekly. “He’s truly, truly a film geek, and when we’re working together, a lot of times we’re not focused on the film we’re shooting — we’re talking about other movies. We all love to geek out about John Carpenter, about Big Trouble in Little China. You know, that’s a big film for Patrick and myself, and we always fantasize about doing a remake of… But that’s never going to happen. I mean, it’s a sacrilege movie!“

Currently Blumhouse and Atomic Robot are enjoying the box office earnings of their current killer doll film, M3GAN .

John Wick in Development for a Sequel and a Video Game

Published

on

John Wick 4 was a complete blast and the ending pointed at the odd fact that John Wick might actually be… dead. I didn’t believe it for a second. Not John Wick. The dude is a tank. Lionsgate has already greenlit development for a John Wick 5.

That isn’t all the studio has in store though. It also appears that we will receive a big triple-A game based on the Baba Yaga.

“What is official is that, as you know, Ballerina is the first spinoff that comes out next year,” President of Lionsgate Joe Drake said, “We’re in development on three others, including and including television series, “The Continental”, will be airing soon. And so, we’re building out the world and when that fifth movie comes, will be organic — will be organically grown out of how we’re starting to tell those stories. But you can rely on a regular cadence of John Wick.”

In addition to those awesome projects, we also have The Continental TV spinoff coming and a whole new Ballerina film based on the assassins introduced in John Wick 3.

The synopsis for John Wick 4 went like this:

With the price on his head ever increasing, legendary hit man John Wick takes his fight against the High Table global as he seeks out the most powerful players in the underworld, from New York to Paris to Japan to Berlin.

Are you guys excited about a John Wick 5 and a full-on, shoot-em-up video game based on Wick? Let us know in the comments section.

Depp

Tim Burton will always be a part of horror for us. He has a page indexed here and we love it. From Beetlejuice to Ed Wood the director has broken the mold time and time again. A documentary focused on Burton is headed to Cannes this year and will feature all of the director’s co-conspirators in action.

The four-part documentary features Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Michael Keaton, Winona Ryder, Jenna Ortega, composer Danny Elfman, Christopher Walken, Danny DeVito, Mia Wasikowska, and Christoph Waltz. All of these awesome actors to talk about their time with Burton.

“Tim continues to build his aesthetic, the Burton-esque style, derived from a wealth of art, cinematic, and literary genres,” the release says “The documentary explores how Burton brings his vision to life through his own joyous idiosyncrasy and his ability to meld the ominous and the frightful with a sense of whimsy. Tim’s films are just the tip of the iceberg.”

The documentary will take us through Burton’s life and many adored films.

‘The Last of Us’ Fans Have a Really Long Wait Till Second Season

Published

on

Last

The Last of Us was a big hit with fans. It brought in both fans of the game as well as new fans entirely. It managed to give gut punches in the feels and still managed to create a terrifying experience. That’s great and all but the long wait for fans isn’t going to be an easy one.

While the writers strike wages on and the powers that be drag their heels to give the writers the wages that they should be getting paid, it is not an easy ride for fans.

The Last of Us was already going to take a year at the minimum to get back to season 2 premiere. But with the writers strike in action those timelines have been pushed even further back.

Writer, Francesca Orsi of The Last of Us says that it looks like at the moment there could be a 2025 date in mind… and that is saying everything does work out.

 “We will have to assess what is the end of the ’24 schedule, what are the shows that are going to be delivered for 2025. At this point, those shows that I’m looking to air wouldn’t necessarily be ready if this strike lasts six to nine months. So yes, that’s a big question for us, but I think we’ll cross that road once we come to it.” Orsi said.

We are all at the mercy of the writers and the hands that need to feed them. So, the wait could get really long depending on the amount of greed that the folks in charge have.

What do you think about the long wait for a second season of The Last of Us? Let us know in the comments section.
