From Wall Street to Escaping From New York: Allan Loeb Gets It
By Travis Leamons - February 10, 2010 | Email the author


I don’t know about everyone else, but I love this resurgence ’80s nostalgia. Just the other week I read story in EW about the curse of Fletch and how a reboot of the character made famous by Chevy Chase has been plagued with production problems. You have The Expendables coming out in August, which is Sylvester Stallone’s tribute to the ’80s action cinema. Darren Aronofsky is retooling RoboCop for a new audience (hopefully it still includes the fake commercials that were a part of Paul Verhoeven’s original).

Now there’s progress on a remake of John Carpenter’s sci-fi action film Escape from New York. New Line Cinema had hired Len Wiseman (coming off of Live Free or Die Hard) to direct and Gerard Butler was going to star. Wiseman was later replaced by Brett Ratner, who seems to be every studio’s go-to guy in case a project is floundering. Neither director seems fit to reboot the Snake Plissken character, and Gerard Butler isn’t enough of a bad ass to take on the role that Kurt Russell made famous. I can only hope that the role isn’t offered to Sam Worthington. That actor seems to be rumored to be part of every new project these days.

Vulture, who also broke the Hughes brothers/Akira story, has news that New Line is “quickly moving forward” with its remake plans thanks to a rewrite by Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps scribe Allan Loeb. According to the site, in the new draft, “Loeb nailed the humor in Plissken without slipping into camp, and he changed Snake’s rescue-mission target from a president to a female senator, thereby upping the banter quotient.”

And with the current state of the economy, the studio found a much cheaper way to shoot the story; by changing destroyed Manhattan into a “geographically undesirable, but intact” privately run penal colony which was created “after the detonation of a crude radioactive dirty bomb on the outskirts of the city.” Even with the changes, it looks like Allan Loeb “gets it,” trying to remain faithful to the spirit of the original. Though it could have something to do with the agreement New Line signed with John Carpenter with regards to antihero, Snake Plissken. The character must be called “Snake”; he must wear an eye patch; and must always be a bad-ass. Because who wants an antihero who pussyfoots around?

Guarda Laura che è di stamane una serie di notizie in cui torna a circolare il nome di Gerry...

On top of this she is lined up to appear in several Bollywood films and both she and Azhar have been signed up by Hollywood star Gerard Butler to appear in a new film he is directing.

There have been repeated rumours the glamour model is planning a film version of her life in recent weeks, and Alex has refused to dismiss them. Although he hasn’t confirmed the reports, Alex has revealed who he would like to portray him on the big screen.

“It has been reported that Katie is going to do a film about her life. I think it’s a brilliant idea – her life makes a great story,” Alex said in British magazine Star. “There’s nothing definite on the table. If I could choose anyone to play my character I’d pick Gerard Butler – only when he’s pumped up though. Perhaps Katie and I can have cameo roles instead? We could be journalists!”

Alex has previously admitted he enjoys dressing up in women’s clothes, but insists it is not something he does regularly. He and Katie were spotted shopping for lingerie in an American store last week, and Alex insists they were only looking for items for Katie, not him.

“We were pictured at Trashy Lingerie in LA last week, a shop I love. But it’s not true that I was buying stuff for myself – I almost avoided going in there because I knew people would say that but then I thought ‘S*d it!’ Anyway, Katie only bought some lingerie and a few wigs,” he explained. “No whips or handcuffs, even though I wanted to!”

Se ne parla anche qui:Gerry sarebbe in lizza con Colin Farrell,per questo ruolo...

Colin Farrell and Gerard Butler may be about to square off to land the role of a CIA counter terrorism agent in a new movie called "Consent to Kill"

The film is an adaptation of a book by crime novelist Vince Flynn, the first of eleven books that will be made into a kind of 'Bourne Identity" series of movies by CBS Films.

Butler is the current front runner but Farrell wowed CBS Films CEO Amy Baer as the star of S.W.A.T., a project she oversaw as a Columbia Pictures executive.

Butler is still considered a bigger box office bet because of the huge success of 300, but insiders say Farrell may get the movie role which could catapult him into the type of fame that Mat Damon has enjoyed as Bourne.

Training Day director Antoine Fuqua is set to direct "Consent to Kill."
