Escape from LA was basically a remake of Escape from NY... and I liked the original better.
I love the Fog and have a hard time imagining Carpenter improving on the original. Maybe my imagination is limited though... and maybe I'm sentimental but I hope that he sticks with makeup and appliances and doesn't mess with CGI for the fog monsters. The best part about them is that you can barely see them most of the time anyway.
Have any of you seen Armando de Ossorio's Tombs of the Blind Dead films? The look of Carpenter's fog monsters was very much inspired by Ossorio's knights Templar. Not great films but very beautiful, very atmospheric, very similar to a lot of horror made in Spain in the 60s-70s.
