June 1Jun 1 Now that the news is out that Zack Snyder is remaking Escape from New York, how are we feeling? As a big fan of his Dawn of the Dead, I'm quietly quite excited: he knows how to make atmospheric genre movies, and he's very good with anti-heroes. I think the more important question now is who plays Snake Plissken, because I wouldn't envy anyone taking over from Kurt Russell.
June 2Jun 2 CB Team Not really... Snyder hasn't done anything good in a while, so I will only allow myself to be excited when the writer gets announced. If Snyder writes it himself, then I don't see it being any good.
June 2Jun 2 CB Team I think the thing people forget about Carpenter's Escape is that it's not really a bombastic action movie, which it isn't. I'm sure that Snyder being attached will just be the latest link in the chain that so many others have been before him.
