Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at 8:17PM Snake Plissken Found Dead at New Line.
John Carpenter's Escape from New York is one of the most memorable films I have from growing up, which is why the Deadline article stating that New Line and Warner Bros. have let the Escape from New York property go, is so taunting. With any luck Lionsgate will pick it and and maybe, just maybe, put Nimrod Antal in the director's chair. Not all may agree here, but Predators is amazing, it was just fun, and I think Antal could do the same thing with the Escape from New York reboot.
On the one hand, I'm glad it isn't being remade simply because it is such a reminder film, but that aside, I don't see any reason why this film should not get a reboot. It is a simple idea, one that could easily be updated. In a time when the Schwarzenegger classic Commando is also in talks for a reboot, give us a new Snake Plissken for Christ's sake. I think there are enough people that want more R-rated action to warrant a reboot. I'm tired of the one comically placed F-bomb. If Dolph Lundgren wants to drop an F-bomb blitzkrieg then so be it.

If all they're going to do is just make another futuristic, sci fi actioner - the video bargain bins are full of those. What a new version should do is put itself in and amongst the sc fi movies that have come about since "Children of Men" and "District 9" so then "Escape from New York" - or whatever they wanted to call it - would have the social commentary that the original was so criticized for lacking. The pre Giuliani New York of Carpenter's '81 original didn't seem that far away from the punk-bombed aftermath it depicted. A new version is simply going to have to do something TOTALLY different because THAT projected future is totally irrelevant now.
