Escape From New York-another pointless remake.

[BlueSky]

I liked it a lot.
I think the original is ok.

I hate Day Of The Dead though, or whatever it's called.

I agree with everything you said.

Ok. I just watched escape from ny, and it was pretty entertaining. Isaac Hayes is one bad mama jamma, too bad he went into the dark magic that is scientology.

damn it, I loved the original Escape from NY. ONLY kurt russell can play Snake

what's next- remake of big trouble in little china? a remake of the remake of The Thing!!

even with endless time and endless money and endless attempts, you will never, ever, EVER beat the combo of john carpenter and kurt russell. never.

 

[BlueSky]

The fly is stupid.

 

[DreamNeonBlack]

I really enjoyed the remake of the FLY. One of cronenberg's finest films.

The sequel was pointless and retarded.

Hollywood is keeping up thier endless list of useless remakes. This was on the SCIFI.com newswire.


New Line Makes Its Escape

New Line has won the bidding war for a remake of Escape From New York, with 300 star Gerard Butler attached and Neal Moritz producing through his Original Films banner, Variety reported.

The studio closed the deal on March 15, three days after CAA began shopping the package to studios in the wake of Butler's emergence as a rising star, thanks to last weekend's smash opening of 300.

Ken Nolan (Black Hawk Down) is attached to write the script. Executive producers include Original's Ori Marmur; Ron Halpern and Frederic Sichler of Canal Plus, which held the remake rights; and John Carpenter, who directed the original 1981 Escape From New York.

Butler would portray Snake Plissken, the convict and war hero who's sent into a futuristic New York City—which has been turned into a giant maximum-security prison—to rescue the president after his plane is knocked down by terrorists. The original was set in 1998.

Kurt Russell played Plissken in the original movie and again in Carpenter's 1996 sequel, Escape From Los Angeles.

:Smug:

NOOOO they can't remake that!!
