Why can't it be in the spirit of Escape From New york and be its own thing? I get brand recognition but you could also use the celeb's status as well as anybody else working on it.

No I'm not going to go see Rose McGowan as Seline Plissken directed by who the fuck knows but if Emily blunt, actress from the critically acclaimed film sicario stars as Georgia "Gorgeous" Lamprey in an Christopher Mcquarrie Film I'm all for it!

Only if she really tries to do the voice. That would be hilarious. It's hard even imagining the female Snake Plissken on voice alone.

Also it would suck regardless because despite Deadpool's success, we'll see more watered down reboots. So FemSnake will not idly pass a woman being assaulted by thugs without a care. Sadly filmmakers have lost the touch for satirical violence such as in Robocop and Escape for NY. Instead of using horrific violence and how apathetic or even gleeful people are to it in the film, they'll turn Snake into an anti-hero who does the right thing. It will no longer be the man who dooms the world to war out of spite.
And no man or woman can stand up to Kurt.
>>
>>71354312

I'd watch it. She's shown to be the best or second best female action movie star.

Plus nobody can beat the Original so the sequel/reboot would just be different.

They made an escape from NY and escape from LA so they should just make a third city that she escapes from rather than a reboots.

reboots in general seem to be boring, mostly because you've already seen the original.

That's why the latest star wars was boring. It was just a reboot of the blow-up-the-deathstar finish so the whole second half of the movie was boring.

>>71354590
this but title should be Escape from Detroit

>>71354590
This, not a full remake but a "soft reboot" or whatever you call it could work.

>Snake turning off the world at the end of L.A plunged the world into a new world war where everyone fought for energy.
>Blunt plays his daughter that lost an eye in that war.
>Things just started to get back to normal.
>She was on the losing side so she's now considered a war criminal.
>NY prison is an even bigger shithole after being without power for some years
>We have the same shit happening again, and she's sent in there to do what her father did before
>Second movie, she's sent for another mission and it ends with the government tricking her into starting another war, which is basically the US wanting more energy/power.
>Third movie is Escape from D.C, where she calls her father and they band together with a resistence group to attack D.C, which is basically a city-sized White House and overtake the entire system.
>In a move no one saw it coming, they get acclaimed video game producer Hideo Kojima to direct it
>In the trailers, we see slow-moving images of the horrors war, Old Man Snake yelling at the sky while covered in blood and a dramatic shot of BluntSnake removing a mask and looking absolutely pissed, as Sins of the Father by Donna Bourke plays.

I'd say they should maybe make it an original movie idea as opposed to banking on a known IP. But if it means more badass Blunt and Carpenter getting a paycheck, I'm down.

Most of the special effects in Escape from New York have aged pretty well and it's still an immensely entertaining film. Plus they'll never be able to top Kurt Russell and John Carpenter's synth score. If they want to remake an old dystopian movie they should do Logan's Run instead of Escape from New York.

Logan's Run remake has been in development for years. Even some concept art online.

Last we heard of it Simon Kingberg (X-Men: DOFP, Apocalypse) was hired to develop a new script. He said this last year…
>We are talking to directors for that movie [right now]… It definitely is [a priority for the studio]. It’s something that potentially is their Hunger Games kind of franchise that is about a younger audience for a younger audience with a big idea. And Logan’s Run, as you know, is the granddaddy of Maze Runner and Hunger Games and so many of these books and movies now. So yeah, they’re seeing it as a potentially really big franchise.
>>
>>71354312
Yeah, sure, she's a good action actress.

Probably won't be a good film but reboots rarely are.

I'll wait and see how the production goes before passing any judgements.

Why would people want to ruin Carpenter's movies with this silly political agenda bullshit is beyond me, this will never have the spirit of the original movies and making a female protagonist in a fucking reboot of a Carpenter movie is already missing the point of the original ones to begin with.
Fuck at least give it a different title and character names and just say it's heavily inspired by those movies, leave my fucking childhood alone you fucking hacks.
What's next? A Big Trouble in Little China reboot without hookers, silly gore, discount machismo and stereotyped horny chinese magicians playing magic videogames because those things are offensive now? Fucking american movie industry should be burned down.

Well maybe to see her Ass in snakes outfit.

thank you. To clarify, I did not mean shallow bad. perhaps a better word would be superficial, I enjoy the movie but a remake would be so vastly different that it would stand out as it's own. Not something like the robocop remake where its just taking a movie and repeating all the same story beats, themes, one-liners that you may as well just watch the better original. Escape has little in that way to copy from in the first place.
>>
>>71354312
It could work because Snake was never a big strong guy. He's not Arnold in Commando. He always used evasion and stealth.
>>
>emily blunt will NEVER step on your balls

Literally anyone besides Kurt Russell would be equally bad. Casting a woman is the least significant problem in remaking something like Escape from New York.

>>71361618
But there's the other problem, Snake also gets his ass kicked in the movies. He's not indestructible. Feministas can't handle a heroine getting shot up and bruised in an action movie. They have to be untouchable like Seagal.
>>
>>71362093
>Feministas can't handle a heroine getting shot up and bruised in an action movie
I think you're mistaken. That's not just feminists. It's a problem in movies in general. Oftentimes if a strong woman is introduced the have to toss in an evil woman to give her a real fight.

>>71354312
Emily Blunt actually can kick some serious ass, and has already established herself in the genre, so yes. I would definitely watch that.

I mean having her play Snake himself is kinda weird. She could play someone else that's in Snake's role.
>>
>>71354312
I'm kinda tried of seeing her as the hard female action hero in movies. Not because she isn't good at the role but because she has those big doe eyes that make her look perpetually surprised and not very operator. I guess I'd be down if she squinted her unpatched eye for the entire movie.

I'm game for it as long as it's not a reboot but a direct sequel to EFNY with Blunt playing a different character that gets sent into the city.

With today's tech they could do some cool stuff inside the walls. And I really enjoyed Blunt in Sicario and Edge of Tomorrow.

I'd go to the theater.

You answered your own question. SJW genderswap controversy is a marketing tool now. Some people make nasty remarks about women playing men's roles in movies, news websites pick it up and tell everyone how horrible and sexist it is, then it hits theaters with free advertising.

I don't remember any sweety pits scenes in Escape from NY so I'm cautious about this

>>71354312
100% yes because they would probably also hire tom hardy to be the man that actually gets everything done. Get to see based blunt and bane in a movie, win win

Yes, but only because she has already proven herself to be a competent action movie actor and she isn't some pretty 18yo waif.

Which is everything that's wrong with America ATM. They should have cast Katy Perry as Wonder Woman in that last shitshow of a batman movie and had her glorious titties in full display. Not only would have made the studio millions more but could have redeemed an otherwise turd. But no, feels and social justice are even more important to (((them))) since they can just print as much money as they want. Even with the owner of Miss USA in the White House Millennials will still be doomed.

Directed by Nedvinne & Taylor
Jason Statham as Snake
Danny De Vito as Cabby
Micheal Jai White as the Duke
Kurt Russel as Hauk
Alexandrea Daddario as Maggie
Dwitght Yokham as Brain
Amy Smart as The President
Think about it the crank movies use the same plot device as EFNY.
>>
Why not just create a new female character and set her in the same world as Escape From New York?

Why the fuck do we keep doing remakes? Even a sequel or spinoff is more creative than a lazy genderbent remake.
