Remake of “Escape” may have a new director
Update! : It’s confirmed. Len Wiseman is Off. Brett Ratner is On. IESB has the full lowdown.
There’s a rumour that a new director may be onboard the “Escape from New York” remake.
Having read the script, I can tell you it doesn’t much matter who helms this thing – it’ll still be a pale imitation of the original. And this isn’t just some off-the-cuff comment from someone stuck in the Footloose-era, this is based on the script – it’s not half as interesting as the stencil used first time around. And the back-story about Snake Plissken? Why? We don’t give a shit. Don’t bog it down, ramp it up, I say!
Not that anything can help the project much at this stage.
Aint it Cool has received word that Len Wiseman (“Live free or Die Hard”) may be off the project and that he’s been replaced by…. Brett Ratner.
What’s considered a fuckin’ joke is now, er, a fuckin’ joke.
