John Carpenter Has Pretty Harsh Words For Dwayne Johnson's Big Trouble In Little China

In the last 40 years, John Carpenter has seen many of his movies get sequels and remakes without his involvement, and a lot of them turned out badly. Not only are there all the unfortunate Halloween follow-ups, and the CGI-heavy The Thing prequel, but useless re-dos like Assault On Precinct 13 and The Fog also did nothing to build on the originals. As you might expect, this isn't exactly a legacy that Carpenter loves, which goes a long way in explaining why he had this to say about the upcoming Big Trouble In Little China feature set to star Dwayne Johnson:

They want a movie with Dwayne Johnson. That's what they want. So they just picked that title. They don't give a shit about me and my movie. That movie wasn't a success.

Paired with producer Jason Blum, John Carpenter participated in roundtable interviews last month in promotion of the new Halloween -- and it was during one of these sit downs that I asked about the developing Big Trouble In Little China sequel. Specifically, I asked the filmmakers what they think about the current trend towards follow-ups over remakes, citing Johnson's movie as an example, and the horror legend made it very clear that he doesn't think much about the upcoming project at all.

It was back in 2015 that Dwayne Johnson was first attached to star in a new Big Trouble In Little China, though at the time it was said that the film was going to be a remake. It was a controversial story at the time that got quite a bit of fan backlash, but Johnson himself tried to calm people down by saying that moves were being made to involve John Carpenter. Based on what Carpenter told a small group of other reporters and me in September, it sounds like they were never able to connect.

The new Big Trouble In Little China is still kind of a backburner project right now, what with Dwayne Johnson doing a million-and-one other things, but producer Hiram Garcia confirmed in late August that the movie is both moving forward, and is no longer a remake. It's going to be a story that returns audiences to the world of the original, and will "continue the story." Exactly what that means given the conclusive ending of John Carpenter's film isn't entirely clear.

With this chosen avenue, one does have to wonder exactly how Dwayne Johnson and Co. will teach audiences about the original Big Trouble In Little China, because John Carpenter is 100% right: that movie wasn't a success when it was first released in 1986. It has since taken on cult status, but it's also a title that opened up at number 12 at the box office and only made $11 million domestically (roughly equal to $24 million in 2018 when you adjust for inflation). The approach didn't work for Blade Runner 2049, so hopefully there is a strategy in play.

With Hobbs and Shaw, Jumanji 3, John Henry and the Statesmen, and more projects currently populating Dwayne Johnson's slate, it's not entirely clear when he will be getting around to Big Trouble In Little China, but we will be sure to keep you updated with the latest details. For now, with John Carpenter's thoughts in mind, how do you feel about the developing project? Answer our poll, and leave your comments below.





The comic book movie genre was forever changed by Christopher Nolan when The Dark Knight convinced Hollywood to take superheroes seriously. That was until the comic book movie was revolutionized again six years later by James Gunn when Guardians of the Galaxy, starring then sitcom star Chris Pratt, convinced Hollywood to take superheroes less seriously again.

The Halloween Character We Really Don't Want To See In The Sequel

The Halloween Character We Really Don't Want To See In The Sequel

Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for Halloween! Proceed with caution.

Even before David Gordon Green's Halloween reboot-quel hit theaters, there was speculation about a possible sequel. So far there hasn't been any firm confirmation that such a sequel is happening. Producer Jason Blum seems open to the idea and rumors indicate that a sequel could be on the way sooner rather than later, but that is different from an official announcement.

That said, The Shape may not talk, but money does, and given the record-breaking success that Halloween enjoyed this past weekend (a franchise best opening at $77.5 million), a sequel seems inevitable. So with a sequel all but certain, we can begin to muse about where a Halloween 2 could go and what characters will be a part of it.

To that end, there is one Halloween character that I don't want to be a part of the sequel. There's one character that this franchise needs to leave behind and who needs to stay dead. It's Michael Myers.

Before I elucidate the reasoning behind this blasphemous assertion, let's take a look at where the new Halloween leaves the Boogeyman. At the end of the film, after another murderous rampage on All Hallows' Eve, Michael Myers at last bites off more than he can chew when he faces the three Strode women.

A well-placed shot from Judy Greer's badass Karen, some quick knifework from Andi Matichak's Allyson and the fierceness of Jamie Lee Curtis' Laurie Strode best the killer and trap him in the basement of Laurie's home. This clever trap is more than a prison; it's an execution chamber. Gas is pumped in to the basement and Laurie Strode sets the entire home ablaze.

With no escape from the basement, this is seemingly the end of Michael Myers. However, there is a shot showing the stairs in the basement on fire with Michael no longer on them, so there is some ambiguity about whether or not he truly met his end. Then, as the credits roll, you hear the killer's signature breathing within his mask, the implication being that Michael Myers will live to kill again. That would be a mistake.

If Michael Myers were to survive, the question is how. That basement was designed as a trap, with no way out. Sure there were small windows, but they were surely too small for Michael Myers to fit through. It was underground, so he wasn't punching through a wall to get out either. Based on what we know about the basement and Michael Myers, he should not have made it out. The shot with him missing on the stairs could be chalked up to him going to another part of the room in an attempt to escape.

Laurie Strode has been living with the specter of Michael Myers for 40 years. Her obsession over his potential return and killing him was her guiding principle. Her relationship with her daughter was damaged because of her single-mindedness about surviving the Boogeyman. So after all that hardship and preparation, you mean to tell me that there was a Death Star-esque fatal flaw in her basement trap? I don't buy it.

Beyond that, if Michael Myers somehow managed to find an escape, that cheapens the ending of Halloween. David Gordon Green's film ends with the three women, all wounded but breathing, riding away from Laurie's house, which was a training ground, an armory and a prison, but never a home.

This ending represents a hard won victory over the villain that has haunted Laurie Strode for decades, overcoming the trauma through confrontation. To have this victory undone in a sequel would retroactively diminish this film, the journey of the Strode women, the brilliance of the trap and the elation of the triumph.

The other thing to remember is that Halloween retcons everything after the original 1978 film. The Halloween franchise has dabbled in the supernatural before, but that has been erased from the current canon. So this pair of films stands as a somewhat grounded horror story. If Michael Myers were to escape death this time, it wouldn't be.

He is a force of nature that is pure evil, but ultimately Michael Myers is still a man. The opening of the original film and Michael Myers' first kill at the age of 6 proves as much. Although his strength and ability to survive multiple wounds pushes against the border of supernatural abilities, he is still firmly on the human side. If he were to either survive being roasted alive or to have powered out of that basement, that would push this franchise over the edge into the supernatural.

Part of what makes Michael Myers so scary is that he isn't some demonic entity or supernatural being. He's just an evil human that only knows one thing, and that's killing. This representation of evil is scary because it can arise in the most unlikely of places, like within a child. This evil doesn't require satanic rituals or ill-placed graveyards, and it isn't the work of some 'other', a physically normal person can be the Boogeyman, and that is infinitely more unsettling.

Those are the problems with bringing Michael Myers back for a sequel, but it's unfair to highlight a problem without even trying to offer up a solution. So where does a Halloween 2 go without Michael Myers? I know the very idea seems antithetical but I think there are some options.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch attempted to turn the franchise into an anthology series of horror films, moving beyond Michael Myers. Regardless of that film's shortcomings, this isn't the worst idea. Halloween could turn into a series of horror films simply set on the titular holiday.

Having said that, I think that people like the slasher aspect of Halloween, and even without Michael Myers, some of the franchise's DNA must be left behind. If Michael Myers proved that true evil can exist in the hearts of men, who is to say that he's the only one? A sequel could see a new killer in the mold of Michael Myers begin his own rampage. Heck, he or she could even keep using the same mask.

Halloween explored the trauma such malice leaves behind in its victims, and there is material worth exploring there, as we see whether Karen and Allyson react the same way Laurie did. Halloween also showed that evil takes many forms, and the way Dr. Sartain was willing to kill to study it shows another direction that a sequel could go by following someone like him or the foolish podcasters that provoked Michael.

I don't know the perfect answer, but I think if you set the sequel on Halloween and keep it a slasher, there are ways Halloween can move beyond Michael Myers. A Halloween sequel may not seem like Halloween without the iconic killer, but to stay grounded and honor David Gordon Green's film, Michael Myers needs to stay dead.
