Snake Plissken is such an iconic character it's hard to imagine any one other than Kurt Russell playing him,but i'm naturally optimistic so i will wait and see and hope for something of note.

Gerard Butler certainly jumped into the juicy roles fast. I just heard an interview with Zach Snyder about Watchmen and he said the "Gerry" will have a role in that one too. He'd make a pretty good Comedian

"Escape" remake has director
News
Len Wiseman Making Escape From New York Source: Variety August 15, 2007 Len Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard) will direct New Line remake Escape From New York, which will star Gerard Butler (300) and be produced by Neal Moritz. Black Hawk Down screenwriter Ken Nolan is penning 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 film. Butler is portraying Snake Plissken, the convict and war hero who's sent into a futuristic Manhattan -- which has been turned into a giant maximum security prison -- to rescue the president of the U.S. after his plane is knocked down by terrorists. The original starred Kurt Russell and was set in 1998. Wiseman previously directed Underworld and Underworld: Evolution. |

I wasn't asking if you were surpirsed, I just think it sucks that people feel the need to remake so many of his films. Especially ones like The Fog which was a half assed movie (the 2005 one I mean.)
I also heard a rumor a while back that someone was planning on making a prequel to The Thing. |

I was simply stating that "JC is the Fucking man". So, why wouldn't shitty film makers want to copy his style, and his films? :rolleyes: |

Maybe they think of it as a tribute or maybe they think it'll bring in more money.Either way this film will really be horrible and like massacre said Butler will make a crappy Snake.
