Escape from New York Again
A couple of days ago we posted about the return of Riddick. Today we have news of Snake Plissken’s return. According to the MTV Movie Blog, Escape from New York is being prepped for a reboot. The good news is that…
Series creator John Carpenter has a deal with New Line which stipulates that the character “must be called ‘Snake'”; “must wear an eye patch”; and “always be a ‘bad-ass.'”
The bad news is…
The Plissken role made famous by [Kurt] Russell will be re-cast with a yet-to-be named actor.
C’mon man! Kurt Russell is still young enough and in good enough shape to play Plissken again. In fact, since New Line hopes to turn the reboot into a franchise, why not have Russell return for one last outing and pass the mantle on to a younger actor? That way they could satisfy both old and new fans.
