Days after Dwayne Johnson said he would like John Carpenter involved in a remake of the director's "Big Trouble in Little China," the filmmaker said he and the "San Andreas" star have yet to discuss a collaboration.

"It's very early in the process," Carpenter told Speakeasy in an email. "I haven't spoken to Dwayne Johnson about any of this."

News last week that Johnson is attached to a remake of "Big Trouble in Little China," a 1986 cult action comedy about magic and mystery in San Francisco's Chinatown, met with mixed reactions online as it marked yet another Carpenter favorite getting the remake/reboot treatment. Recently, the director's "Assault on Precinct 13" and "Halloween" were remade, while a prequel to his version of "The Thing" was produced. There are also plans for an "Escape From New York" remake.

Johnson responded to the fan reactions by telling Entertainment Weekly that he wants to bring in Carpenter to work on the film in some capacity.

"I'm ambivalent about a remake," Carpenter told Speakeasy. "On the other hand, it depends on how much they pay me."
