Escape From New York Remake

[Snake Plissken]

oh man.... I've been meaning to watch that movie. I keep forgetting

It must suck living under that rock.

It's interesting (& understandable having been brought up in the first place) that Jackman's been suggested for Snake.

I always thought Kurt Russell in his prime, would've made an exceptional Wolverine.. so there you go.

 

[Snake Plissken]

If you look at his physique in his later career compared to EFNY, he was definitely in his prime... Although he did get that back somewhat in EFLA and Soldier. Jackman is in a whole other dimension physically.

 

[thenammagazine]

In a good way.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Absolutely, Jackman has the height over Kurt... plus Jackman has been pounding iron for almost 20 years since X1

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Yeah, I'm just noting the clear correlation they share - regardless of their respective fat % or physical differences.

 

[Magpie 7]

Jackman would be an interesting choice to play Snake, the way he's developed in the Wolverine role does lend to him playing another **** the establishment anti-hero.

Jackman does sound good for the roll .

Escape From New York Reboot Moving Forward with John Carpenter as EP! - SuperHeroHype

Snake Plissken will be heading back to the big screen! Deadline reports today that 20th Century Fox has won the remake rights to John Carpenter’s enduring action thriller, Escape From New York. What’s more, Carpenter himself is set to serve as executive producer!

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Jackman would be great as Snake

 

[EVILFACE]

I would be fine with Jackman.

And Carpenter being EP means jack. Didn't help The Fog any.

 

[RIDDICK]

Yeah, I couldn't care less about his involment at this point.
The only thing I hope for is that Plisskin's costume is at least 80% same as the original + Hot Toys figure.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Not that it's a prerequisite but I can't really see Jackman with long hair though, not as a badass at least

 

[Snake Plissken]

Jackman is fine, but he's probably too expensive for the project. Carpenter's involvement isn't anything to be excited about.

Why would he need to have long hair? Just cause it's a remake doesnt mean he cant look different. Give him a shaved head and a gnarly beard and he'll look the part.

 

[Snake Plissken]

He would be playing Plissken, not Fresno Bob.

 

[rushmore223]

Your too stuck on "the look" of the original.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Because the black rubber suit from Robocup looked SO GOOD. How about remove the eye patch too?

I guess when Cronenberg remade The Fly, he should have just had Goldblum wearing a fly head.

Things can be didfferent and still be good.

If it's different, it's different. But you make it sound you're totally against making him look the same. You know what we need, Batman without ears on the cowl...
