Escape From New York Remake

[pturtle]

Charlie Hunnam has the look, and since playing Snake Plissken doesn’t require much acting chops at all, I think he could be a decent pick.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I get the feeling this will be a Superman Returns deal, that whoever gets the part will be doing an impression of Kurt.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

I don't even know how you'd do a modern Escape from New York. It made sense back in the early 80's because the New York of that era was a hell hole, and you could imagine it degrading to the point that they would just wall it off. It's hard to imagine the NY of today becoming walled off as a prison, some place like Detroit makes more sense now.

So that's their short list of actors for Snake? What a joke.

 

[Adolfo]

Either of the Hemsworth bros I could see doing this. Dye the hair darker and a little extra working out for Liam

They better do an impression of Russel who did an impression of Eastwood

My wife just mentioned Tatum...ooh boy! Lol

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

They should call this one 'Escape From Hollywood'.

Hhnngh

It was an homage to Clint, but Kurt still made it his own.

Hhnngh

**** that. I'd hope they would get an unknown over these bull **** choices.

 

[krec9]

Please no hunnam I prefer someone else.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

**** that. I'd hope they would get an unknown over these bull **** choices.

I thought you'd like my idea - as in, run as far away as you can, over a remake.

I do, but Hollywood is being Hollywood so were suffering no matter what.

 

[GasparZizou]

Just found out about the possible lead choices for this remake.

They're all awful choices.

 

[Buttmunch]

Wait, so we could possibly end up with seeing what Shane would have looked like as the Governor?

 

[Snake Plissken]

He's the worst choice of the bunch.

 

[crows]

sounds like they want to make a metrosexual version of Snake lol

 

[Snake Plissken]

He probably won't even smoke in this bull ****, it will be those stupid electronic cigarettes.

 

[crows]

you are absolutely right, he probably won't.

this will probably be like the new Robocop.

 

[Deckard]

Can you imagine Shane with long hair? I don't think the hair is even on the radar for the people making this.

I think all they'll do is slap an eye patch on him. Maybe a leather jacket but not the same kind.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Long hair is a thing of the past, plus Bernthal has curly hair so it wouldn't look right. And, I don't think he has the face of someone that could play Snake. It's got to be someone that's very much in vein of a young Kurt Russell. The SOA guy is okay I guess... but I'm sure they could do much better than what they've said.
