Interesting little blurb at aint it cool news (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/31864) about the fact that Gerard Butler of 300 fame (among others) may play Snake Pliskan in a remake (yes...yet another one) of Escape From New York.
Not sure what to think...I loved the original but it may have been just cheesy enough that I would not mind seeing what they do with a remake.
