suicidegirls.com/interviews/John%20Carpenter/The link above will take you to a recent interview of John Carpenter at the Suicide Girls website where they talk a little bit about the remake of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK that's in the works now starring 300's Gerard Butler?!! WOW. I..I don't know what to say. I'm both mad AND excited at the same time.

UPDATE!
Neal Moritz, who will be producing the Escape project, has stated in a recent Entertainment Weekly issue that instead of remaking Escape From New York, the movie will be more of a prequel.
Scripting will be handled by Black Hawk Down's Ken Nolan.

UPDATE!
Kurt Russell's thoughts on the reboot of Escape From New York, taken from EW.com
"I will say that when I was told who was going to play Snake Plissken, my initial reaction was 'Oh, man!' [Russell winces]. I do think that character was quintessentially one thing. And that is, American."
"People come up to me and say, 'You played Snake Plissken.' I didn't play Snake Plissken, I created him!"
"(Expletive) that! I am Snake Plissken! It's like Sean Connery always watching someone else do their version of Bond. I think one of the things, for instance, about Escape From New York that appealed to me was that it wasn't a special effects extravaganza. It's a quiet, dark world and it revolved around watching the behavior of this one guy. He's a fascinating character. In fact, he's the most complex character I've ever played."
