John Carpenter AND Kurt Russell and I'll see it 6 times. Remove either of those 2 and I will see it 0 times.

Nah, it was a movie of its time. Not sure a sequel would work.

This site is completely unknown, and is citing no sources.
It then goes on to suggest Nathan Fillion play Jack Burton.
What a fucking turd of a "rumor" you've shared with us!

It won't happen. Is there another source for this? I've never heard of that site before.

Oh, Fox..
Even if it's Carpenter again it's going to be shit. The man is well past his prime.

No. The last time anyone in any bit of entertainment media discussed a Big Trouble sequel was last year, when the comic rolled out.
There is absolutely nothing anywhere else that even hints Fox is considering such a thing.
How do people even find this shit? Do they just aimlessly shuffle around the backwoods of the internet and knock small rocks over?

I don't believe that this will ever, ever happen.

bad gameplay lol
I don't see any other sites reporting this and the site in the OP has only existed for four months and seems like it's trying to get hits to sell the Blu-Ray of the original. I dunno, seems shady.

OK, yeah. It didn't sound legitimate to me in any way.

Didn't they already do that comic book sequel?
Sounds like a shit rumor, but if it ever was true like others have said needs both Carpenter and Russel and even then I just don't know how well it will work considering it was a product of its time that even in its own time was playing by its own not very mainstream rules.
Sometimes things should just be left as they are, and I think this is one of them.

Who?
Why are there sequels coming for films that were designed (or at least seemed to be) to be standalone, no sequel intended? And years later for that matter...
Im on the fence for these sort of films, i love the originals (this, Blade Runner and Goonies spring to mind), but i have no real interest in seeing a sequel happen, im not saying it shouldn't, im not saying they wont be good, im not even saying i wont see it and like it, it just makes no sense, marketing is all about hype, and im just not interested in sequels to films i never expected or even wanted to see sequels too, and i'd guess its just as confusing to alot of other fans of these films, they were films of their time, remakes and sequels of them make very little sense...

JACK BURTON, Not me
Jokes aside, I would be into this... IF it was lampooning another genre. Big Trouble worked because it took the stereotypical 80s action hero and placed him in a world where he was hilariously inept. Luckily, Kurt Russell doesn't give a fuck about looking cool on screen, which weirdly made him even more awesome when he got his cool 'lucky' moment near the end.
If they have Jack in a different genre he's not at all compatible with, this could work. But none come to mind. I mean... maybe a horror film? But you can't redo the magic and have him back in Little China. That'd suck ass.

The last time John Carpenter and Kurt Russell made a sequel it didn't turn out very well.

This was sorta my imaginary Mortal Kombat movie before a real one came out. Same as The Last Dragon basically served as my Double Dragon movie. 
Yeah... How? Jack died at the end of Big Trouble.

He didn't die, the story was finally continued in a comic.

There will be one
As an extra
Really? Because Jack's whole thing is that he isn't much of a hero, and succeeds do to pure luck.

Are you feeling a little bit like an outsider here with this news story?

Nobody's directing this. It's not real. It's an ad for blu-rays masquerading as a wishlist.
But no, Carpenter probably shouldn't direct anything anymore. I prefer him as an electronic music composer at this point.
