No Escape from Earth movie
Recently I wrote about John Carpenter and Kurt Russell working on a new Escape from movie, and that Russell had secured a three picture deal that meant Escape from Earth would be made. Well apparently it was just that, rumour.
According to AICN the rumour stopped as soon as they got in touch with Carpenter and received the official response below:
Carpenter himself shot the entire rumor down today when we spoke. "ESCAPE FROM EARTH is an idea we had several years ago, but it never really got any further than that" he said. When I asked him if he’d met at Paramount, he just laughed. "Nope." In an e-mail, his wife and producer Sandy King also emphasized how untrue the story was."John has just spent a rousing week playing Tom Clancy's war video games and smoking in his favorite chair and eating fried chicken. Need I say more?"
So that's the rumour dead then. Shame, I usually try and make sure I'm confident about a story before I write it up, but in this case my excitement just got the better of me, I really wanted this to be true. Come on, surely a final Snake story would be something we would all pay to see, if we're willing to go and watch normal snakes on a plane, what about the Snake on a spaceship?
