Brolin Escapes to NY?
Jun. 23, 2008
When the remake of John Carpenter's classic ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK was first announced, Gerard Butler initially signed on to slap on the eye patch to portray Snake Plissken. He quickly came to his senses and dropped out of the project and now the folks over at Spielberg News are saying that Josh Brolin is in the running to portray the role made iconic by Kurt Russell. Of course, they didn't say that he's signed or that he's been approached, merely that he's "in the running", meaning that he's likely one of many who are being considered. Either way, what do you guys think about Brolin taking on this role? Good? Bad? Meh? Strike back a little sumtin' sumtin' below, why dontcha?
| Extra Tidbit: | Brolin is following in his father's footsteps by playing W in Olvier Stone's biopic as James Brolin portrayed Ronald Reagan in THE REAGANS. |

With Snake Plisskens cousin or evil twin or something.

Please no.
No matter how good the actor, and Brolin is an incredible actor, he just can't replace Kurt Russell. I don't know if John Carpenter is in desperate need of mone or has just totally out
No matter how good the actor, and Brolin is an incredible actor, he just can't replace Kurt Russell. I don't know if John Carpenter is in desperate need of mone or has just totally out of ideas but he needs to stop allowing his movies to be remade. If they remake this, expect a remake of 'Big Trouble in Little China' and (another remake of) 'The Thing' not far behind.

BTW - I love Kurt too, but bringing him back for a sequel might be as bad as Indy 4! This whole sequel/remake thing has gone a little
BTW - I love Kurt too, but bringing him back for a sequel might be as bad as Indy 4! This whole sequel/remake thing has gone a little crazy. Death Race 2000?! C'mon! What's next Jaws, The Exorcist, Shawshank, The Godfather, Chinatown, [link]

I really liked "Escape from New York," but there's a big flaw in the argument against remaking it. "Escape from New York" is not a classic. It is a CULT classic. When people say they like the movie it's because of the exact combination of talents and budget f/x that made the film what it is. After all, what did they say when Carpenter went Bigger and Better with "Escape from L.A."?
Not really a huge fan of Gerard Butler. All his movies suck it big. I thought that "300" was crap!
