\"\"It seems that there may be movement on a remake of J<\/strong>ohn Carpenter’s Escape from New York<\/strong><\/em>. Reports indicate<\/strong><\/span><\/a> that\u00a0Joel Silver<\/strong> and his Silver Pictures<\/strong> are teaming with StudioCanal<\/strong> to make it happen and current plans are for a trilogy of films.

Like most fans, I really liked Escape from New York<\/strong><\/em>. \u00a0Although I was happy to see the return of Snake Plissken<\/strong> (Kurt Russell<\/strong>), Escape from L.A.<\/strong>\u00a0just wasn’t as good.<\/p>\n
