Breck Eisner producing......yet another victim of the current Hollywood trend of completely destroying and ruining classics....and Escape From NY, is not free from this catastrophe that big wigs are doing to make a quick buck and cheapening the movie experience. As is turns out....Timothy Olyphant is rumored to be Snake Plissken, a role that was originally played by the uber famous, Kurt Russell, in John Carpenter's real and original idea. And I'm putting the emphasis on original. According to Eisner he quotes:
“Conceptually, it’s an idea that’s not true today because of the world we live in. So, how the prison is created is going to be different than in Carpenter’s version. The anxiety of the world and anxiety of our existence post-9/11 is there, especially the anxiety in Manhattan post-9/11.
Plot-wise, they’re different, emotionally they’re very similar. That’s why it’ll be interesting to tackle this movie, to have a slightly different take but with the same results which is Manhattan is turned into a walled prison.”
In other words, this will be another possible, Hollywood clusterfuck. Just putting it in words that we can all easily understand. The main reason for Olyphant? Simple, both Eisner and Olyphant have worked recently in "The Crazies". With that being said....another classic, with the high chances of it going to the crappers.
