Hayes LIVETH!



Does anyone think a remake would attempt to work this iconic image (which never appears anywhere in the original) into the actual film?

(Planet Of The Apes meets Thundarr The Barbarian
Starring S.D. Plissken Lieutenant, Special Forces unit Black Light.)

The Gullfire's waiting . . .

That image unfortunately reminds me now of Cloverfield...lol

I like how Plissken is shooting the ground. Good job, Snake.

Well I've read a newish draft of this and it's terrible. So I think Carpenter can sleep easy.

There was a lot of that going on in the 80's. Behold how Torch badassedly takes out the ocean.

Yep. And it's about the only way that Liberty's head could wind up in a Manhattan intersection.

But there's a crazy crawling from a manhole just out of frame!
Yeah, that's it . . .

Josh Brolin looked perfect to play Snake in No Country for Old Men.

''STARLOG is reporting that a source close to the production of Escape from New York has revealed three actors that Silver Pictures have on their shortlist: Charlie Hunnam (Pacific Rim), Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead), and Dan Stevens (The Guest). While none of the three have read for the role, Hunnam is apparently the top choice now that Sons of Anarchy is finished. However, his commitment to Pacific Rim 2 (and possibly also King Arthur) may make him unavailable to take the role.''

“Plissken’s team consists of Mina, a warzone journalist framed for murder and living in the shadows of New York as a scavenger; Cabbie, a schizophrenic travel guide who serves as comic relief; Gareth, the last surviving member of the President’s security detail who harbors a dangerous secret; and The Brain, Plissken’s former partner-in-crime who left him to die after a botched robbery.”

Not sure how I feel about it. It appears they're trying to keep it more or less close to the original... but in even doing that... why even bother? I don't want it remade, I'd rather them do a sequel like with Mad Max instead of re-digging up the original's plot.

How can they recreate an iconic scene with Snake crashlanding the glider on top of the WTC? A prequel might be the best route, seeing just how S.D. Bob Plissken got such a reputation and of course the mission to Leningrad, may be hr could assassinate Vladimir Putin

Damn... I gotta admit that the Apes remakes were great. I would see it but for now it bothers me just a little. Simple story if you really thing about it. It's just a classic piece in my book
