The Escape from New York remake has lost its latest directors. The original 1981 movie was directed by John Carpenter and starred Kurt Russell as near-future Special Forces soldier Snake Plissken, who is tasked with rescuing the President (Donald Pleasence) after he is stranded on the island of Manhattan, which has been turned into a high-security prison. A remake of the property has been in the works since 2007, but it has been trapped in development hell with a revolving door of writers and directors, with the most recently announced filmmakers attached being Radio Silence’s Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin.
