John Carpenter Believes BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA Would Make For a Kick Ass Video Game

As you know, John Carpenter loves video games. In fact, he would rather be playing video games than directing movies. The filmmaker and gamer thinks that one of his classic 80s movies would make for a great video game, and that movie is Big Trouble in Little China.

While talking to CB about what other films he’s done that would make for a good video game, Carpenter says his 1986 Big Trouble in Little China is perfect for an adaptation. He explained:

“I don’t know. I think, maybe… Big Trouble in Little China, it seems to me would be a fun video game and kick ass. There’s also, by the way, a Thing card game. I mean, there’s a lot of these games. There’s actually a They Live [board] game. I don’t know that there would ever be a Prince of Darkness game. I don’t see that.”

I think a Big Trouble in Little China video game would be awesome! It could tell a whole new story set in that mystical fantasy world. It’d be fun to see Jack Burton’s story continue in video game form. Kurt Russel could even provide the voice!

There was a comic sequel developed by Carpenter, which was great, but I’d be up for something new and different. Carpenter should start working on making this happen!
