“I thought you were dead?” Says the teaser — a familiar refrain from Escape From New York and a line that, coupled with the shot here, evokes the same kind of “Well…yeah” reaction that the publisher’s first Big Trouble in Little China teaser did.
The fan-favorite franchise is reportedly in the process of being rebooted for film. The original starred Kurt Russell in one of his most iconic roles — the same star who appeared in Big Trouble in Little China. Both it and its sequel, Escape From L.A., were written and directed by John Carpenter, who also did Big Trouble.
