Possible ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK Flick In The Works By Radio Silence

Talk about the potential return of Snake Plissken has been floating around for some time now, the character of course, played by Kurt Russell and introduced in John Carpenter’s Escape from New York back in 1981. Carpenter and Russell reunited for sequel Escape from LA in 1996, but we haven’t heard anything about our one-eyed bad ass since…maybe that will be changing sooner than later.

The silence may be breaking soon as this week we have learned from our friends over at Giant Freakin Robot, with the website reporting that Radio Silence (V/H/S, Southbound, Scream) is in talks to potentially direct an Escape from New York feature film project. Our sources have indicated that the filmmaking team is indeed working towards that goal, with nothing set in stone at this time.

Now keep in mind, there is no script and Russell has not been attached to this flick as of yet either so this is VERY early on in the process. It’s a “maybe,” as the conversations with 20th Century Studios are in the very early stages.

The “ESCAPE” films were always a blast and seeing an old Snake would be rad as hell so here’s hoping that we get some more news on this project soon.
