UPDATE: As I had suspected, this rumor was made by
some smartass out there who likes to start fake movie shite
up online to gap his lack of weekend sexual activity.
AICN just debunked the rumor here. Thx to Brian for the heads up!
Got an anonymous e-mail today from "somebody" (he/she/it wants to remain
anonymous) who claims they’re in the know as to a potential second sequel to
"Escape from New York" being in the
works. Here’s the e-mail:
A major meeting was held here at Paramount
Thursday evening with both John Carpenter and Kurt Russell in attendance. The
topic — preparing for a third entry in the Snake Plissken chronicles entitled
"Escape From Earth". Apparently, Carpenter completed a script for the project
eight years ago but the studio has now taken an interest in it after Russell
demanded doing it before signing on with the studio for a three picture deal.
Although the screenplay is being kept under tight wraps, I’m told by a colleague
who was lucky enough to take a peek at the first thirteen pages that the script
takes off immediately where the previous left off and features our planet
en-route to Armageddon. It looks as though Carpenter will push-off the
production of Psychopath with Titan Productions and collaborator Todd Farmer in
order to ready this entry for a 2008 release.
Again this is a rumor, lots of smartasses out
there like to start fake movie shite up online to gap their lack of weekend
sexual activity so take this "news" with a bucket
of salt. Do I buy it? No, I will when I see it! But you never know, I hope its
true, I’d love to see Snake badass it again!
