Broadcast Muteness also known as Matt Bettinelli-Olpin as well as Tyler Gillett, have actually shown they are actually no more working on the Escape from New York requel.
Escape from New York Requel Goes Through Yet Another Trouble
Both were actually inquired about the job in a job interview. It was actually considered as a reboot/sequel (requel) of John Woodworker’s timeless 1981 dystopian action-adventure flick. Right now, 18 months on from being actually affixed to the job, they confessed was actually one thing they were actually incapable to perform currently.
“We are not, unfortunately. I think titles like that bounce around for a while and I think they’ve tried to get that out of the blocks a few times. I think it’s just ultimately a tricky rights issue thing. There’s a clock on it and we just weren’t in a position to make the clock, ultimately. But who knows? I think, in hindsight, it feels crazy that we would think we would, post-Scream, step into a John Carpenter franchise. You never know. There’s still interest in it, and we’ve had a few conversations about it, but we’re not attached in any official capacity.”
While it is actually confusing if the escape from New York requel is actually still in the jobs or otherwise, it is actually much from the 1st obstacle for it. Previous tries have actually observed off Leigh Whannell, Robert Rodriguez, as well as Luther developer Neil Cross. Whannell was actually eager on Kurt Russell’s kid Wyatt taking on the part of Serpent Plissken.
The authentic 1981 John Woodworker standard was actually embeded in a darker future (at that point 1997) where New york had actually been actually developed into an island-sized maximum-security jail. When the head of state of the USA accidents right into the worn out urban area, a hooligan, Serpent Plissken (participated in through Kurt Russell), is actually pressured right into taking a trip inside to save him.
