Escape From New York remake falling apart?
Don't know if it's karma or a curse or just a string of minor setbacks, but the recent plan to remake John Carpenter's classic Escape From New York has hit a few snags.
First, Director Len Wiseman (Underworld) was attached. He left the project and Brett Ratner (Rush Hour) was rumored to be taking his place...talk about going from bad to worse. Now "Rat" is off the project.
Gerard Butler, who was cast as Snake Plissken has now left the project due to "creative differences."
Hopefully the producers will get the picture that this film probably shouldn't be remade.
