Snake Plissken Remake Gets Director

[Anarky]

There actually is a remake of John Carpenter's 1981 hit movie "Escape from New York" coming. Now there's not only news on who's playing the legendary Snake Plissken, no, we also know who's going to direct the movie.

A remake! YES! YESYESYES! Better than everything else. Best movie ever, after the originals. Gimme now!

No, seriously, this could be very, very good if they stick to the original script. Snake was good back then and the characters still works today. So hooray for remake!
