The directing staff Radio Silence, who beforehand helmed Prepared or Not and Scream, at the moment are set to develop a reboot of John Carpenter’s Escape From New York for twentieth Century Studios. Carpenter will function an govt producer on the undertaking.
As a fan of the unique film, I’ve gotta say that I’m not proud of it getting a modern-day reboot. I just like the Radio Silence directing staff, which consists of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett and Chad Villella, and it’s good that Carpenter is part of it, however I’m nonetheless not fully offered on the concept.
There’s no data on what the brand new method for the movie is, however I think about it will likely be in keeping with the unique film. In that story, a serious battle between the US and the Soviet Union is concluding, and your entire island of Manhattan has been transformed into a large most safety jail. When Air Drive One is hijacked and crashes into the island, the president (Donald Pleasence) is taken hostage by a bunch of inmates. Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell), a former Particular Forces soldier turned prison, is recruited to retrieve the president in alternate for his personal freedom.
The Image Firm companions Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman will produce the movie together with Radio Silence. They’re at present on the hunt for a author.
