Escape from New York (Remake)

[Prognosticator]

I don't mind a remake, but I'd much prefer another over-the-top sequel with Kurt Russell in the saddle, and tons of cameos from campy actors from the 70s/80s/(90s?)...Yeah, w/Carpenter/Russell penning the script and Carpenter again pulling duty with direction and score!!

 

[Ronny Shade]

That's a far far far better idea, Prog.

 

[DorkyFresh]

another over-the-top sequel? you mean the sequel John Carpenter wanted to make called "Escape from Earth"???


no thanx...as much as Escape from NY doesn't need to be remade, i'll take a remake over "Escape from Earth".

 

[Hunter Rider]

psh...i'm writing a script for the remake of 300!!!

it's even gonna star Gerard Butler! hehe...i made a quick manip of what Gerard might look like as Plisken.

Nice work

If we're doing re-makes...can we PLEASE re-make Forbidden Planet?

 

[Prognosticator]

Did anyone ever watch Carpenter's 'Ghosts of Mars'....is that what it was called? It sucked Probably a reason why Ice Cube and the chick from Species were in it.









...my point was, and this is to DorkyFresh if you know, was 'Ghost of Mars' a halfway attempt to make 'Escape from Earth'?

 

[Darthphere]

I just have to ask why?

i dunno if it was a semi-sequel or not, but it WAS a crappy movie...haha. it's one of the movies that showed Carpenter was losing his touch. that along with Vampires.

 

[Prognosticator]

Yeah, I couldn't find anything on "Escape from Earth" so I'm guessing not.

He was THE cult movie guy in the 1980s, but the 90s were cruel, cruel years to that man.

A remake???? OooooooHHhhhh I love Escape from NY "Your the duke A number one! " and the score is amazing I dont know if i would like a remake of it or not, i hope russel is in it some how.

Wish they would have done Escape from eath that would have been great


"The names pliskin....."

 

[DorkyFresh]

i was bored....can you tell?

 

[black_dust]

Does look pretty decent tho /\/\

 

[Advanced Dark]

Now who to play Duke? Brain?

 

[Hunter Rider]

Those are fantastic Dorky,hopefully he will look that way in the film

Now who to play Duke? Brain?

Hate to sound cliche' but Sam Jackson as the Duke

 

[black_dust]

Michael Clarke Duncan?

Kurt Russell is done w/Snake Plisken. Maybe a cameo or perhaps he could play the President or something but I dont' want to see him do Pliskin. Too old. John Carpenter's fine movie making days are over. Probably because nobody wants to give him a decent budget after his last few films. "Over the Top" is not what made Escape from NY so great. It was just the epitomy of cool...the charcter, the concept, the whole idea of NY being a prison and how Plisken's gotta save him before the little bombs go off in his neck. It had some over the top moments but it wasn't God awful cheesey like Escape from LA. It sounds like you want another film like Escape from LA....which is not the type of film fans of the original hoped for. I hated almost everything about the second film except Snakes decision to "pinch the Earth" of all it's power. I liked that part.

He'd be cool, as would Duncan, LL Cool J, but please not P-Diddy. LOL

As far as Brain...Hugh from "HOUSE", throw some glasses on Keifer, James Spader?

Can you put Gerard's manipped head on a pic of Snake from the movie. I couldn't find any big enough stills. Hair needs to be longer. Still loooks awesome.

They should forget remaking this classic and get Butler to take on the role of solid snake in this supposed metal gear solid movie.

I want to see more Snake Plisken tales not another video game turned movie.

I think I just soiled myself.

[tzarinna]

This is so hot!

While this may be good, I truly think that Hollywood needs to STOP with all of these damn remakes. I'm getting sick and tired of them. I don't even care if they are good remakes, they just need to stop. The only remakes that should be made are very old movies that could seriously benefit from being remade today (like Clash of The Titans or Masters of the Universe).

 

[Warhammer]

I just have to ask why?

Yeah, I know.
Hollywood just keeps shoving remakes down our throat.
