Kurt Russell is Willing To Play ‘Big Trouble in Little China’s’ Jack Burton Again, But Only If These Conditions Are Met

Original Article By Jorge Arenas At BoundingIntoComics.com:

Who isn’t a fan of Big Trouble in Little China? Directed by John Carpenter, the film has remained a beloved cult classic for decades. Of particular note is Kurt Russell’s convention-defying run as truck-driving hero Jack Burton.

Ever since its release in 1986, fans have been begging for more. Now, it looks like there’s a possibility they could get their wish: Kurt Russell has revealed that, if his conditions are met, he is willing to play Jack Burton once again!

Kurt Russell, now 73, expressed a willingness to reprise his role as Jack Burton, but only under certain conditions. Speaking to ComicBook.com in 2023, Russell stated he would only return if the script was good and the sequel had “something substantive to say.”

Fair enough. But we’re talking about Big Trouble in Little China, right? Unfortunately, we didn’t get any more details about what, exactly, would be “substantive” enough about sorcerers and truck drivers in Chinatown.

Maybe he wants his original director back, too?

Russell has a long history of collaboration with John Carpenter, having worked together on films like Escape from New York, The Thing, and Escape from L.A. Their partnership has produced some of the most memorable films in Carpenter’s oeuvre. However, Russell made it clear that he wouldn’t return to the role of Jack Burton for just anyone.
