No remake...............NOOOOOOO!

Well, with de Blasio as mayor, at least the premise is becoming plausible again.
|

Ok, who could pull of Snake today? Let's say Fincher is gunna direct. Who would be Snake? I want Stacy Keach in it for sure. I know he was in LA, but come on, he's awesome.

They can't remake that movie. Who the hell is going to play Cabbie? You can't replace Ernest Borgnine.
Let me guess: NYC is a penal colony for environmental transgressors. Will Smith will play Snake Jamie Foxx is the President Nicholas Cage is the evil capitalist Duke of NY that owns slaves Miley Cyrus is Brain's squeeze Mark Wahlberg is the Brain Harold and Kumar play stoned transgender lovers driving the cab |

Love the original. Saw it in the theater. However, when you watch it now, the lack of budget really shows.
A remake could be decent. (Will probably suck, though.) |
|
It just wouldn't be "Escape from New York" unless they remove all the handguards from the A2's to make them look all "skinny future".
|
|
I hope Channing Tatum gets the role.
Will the still use a Mac 10 with a scope on the can? |
|
fuck godamn hollyshit remakes. they are (have been ) out of ideas for a long time, so they have a need to replace classics with their SHIT.
|
|
I would rather see an expansion, 25 years or so beyond the timeline of the original, where the criminal element had become so much more intense, that several other major cities were being used for prison cities.
You wouldn't need much of a special effects budget to do Detroit. |
|
NO
NO NO NO NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Leave it to todays producers to screw up a good classic. |

Other than loads of lens flares and CGI, about the only creative way Hollywood differentiates remakes is by changing the race of characters. So I expect them to cast Jamie Foxx as Snake Pliskin.

Wish List:
Kevin Bacon as Bob Hauk Gene Hackman as Cabbie Ragnar's wife from Vikings as Maggie Michael C. Hall as the President Brian Cranston as Brain Will Smith, Shia Leboef, and Channing Tatum as the prisoners on the raft who get blown to bits by the helicopter < 2 minutes into the film. |

John Carpenter had 3 demands listed in the original contract for the remake:
1. That Plissken “must be called ‘Snake.’” 2. He “must wear an eye patch.” 3. He must “always be a ‘bad-ass.’” That was from a few years ago though. |
|
I don't see how they can't screw this up.
Could it be good? Yeah. Better? Escape from LA was embarrassing, FTR. |

87 bucks wager that Adrienne Barbeau will show up and spend the movie showing her cleavage.
We're going to miss you, Ernie! |

Shane from walking dead could pull off Snake, he's a lot like lee marvin, lee marvin would be a good style to take from this time instead of clint eastwood.
|
|
i wonder if they'll film it in the ghetto of st louis again?
|
|
I think the producers and director should be made to sit in an electric chair during the screenings of this movie. Vote by audience... thumbs up or thumbs dow---zzzzzt.
|
|
|
It will suck.
Marky Mark will end up playing Snake and Rick Ross will be the Duke of NY |
|
|
i shuddered at the thought of either of these assholes being cast as snake... eta: i can't think of a modern actor who could do justice to snake... and of course it will be a "reimagining" and it will probably be politically correct, so snake will be black, the duke of new york will be white... the president will be female... and so on |
