We’ve been talking about a possible remake of Escape from New York for a long time now, and finally it looks like it just may happen. Deadline is reporting that Fox has emerged from competitive bidding and closed a deal to remake the 1981 John Carptenter-directed cult classic.

Carpenter will be an executive producer and will exert creative influence over the project. Fox’s Mike Ireland brought it in and will steer. Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman’s The Picture Company will produce. The hope is to reinvent the property with an eye toward launching a new franchise.

So once again… Who should play Snake Plissken? Let us know your ideas in the comments section below.
