Apparently a meeting was held at Paramount with both John Carpenter and Kurt Russell in attendance. The topic — preparing for a third entry in the Escape from New York franchise entitled ESCAPE FROM EARTH. Apparently, Carpenter completed a script for the project eight years ago but the studio has now taken an interest in it after Russell demanded doing it before signing on with the studio for a three picture deal. Although the screenplay is being kept under tight wraps, we’ve been told by somebody who knows this guy who was lucky enough to take a peek at the first few pages that the script takes off immediately where the previous left off and features our planet en-route to Armageddon.
Here are some details on the remake of Escape From New York apparently Len Wiseman (Underwood and Die Harder director) has been penciled in to direct with John Carpenter Exec-producing. Neal Moritz is producing (Prison Break) and Ken Nolan writing the script (Black Hawk Down). Gerald Butler of 300 fame is donning the eye patch as Snake. Now who do you reckon they’ll get for the Duke ? The President ? Brains ? Cabby ? big shoes to fill me thinks. Can’t wait, but I said that about Escape from LA, look how that fuckin ended up.
Being a fan of the classic Escape from New York for many years I felt honour bound to create this website. You’ll find this site will grow as quickly as I can lay off the drink and update it with many Snake related facts, links and images.
If you’re unlucky I may even add the odd bit of info about Escape from LA. That might happen while drunk though.
