Breck Eisner (“The Crazies”) is in talks with New Line to direct the Escape from New York remake. The project has been at various levels of development since New Line picked up the rights in 2007, but with Eisner in talks it’s back on track:
Script for the new version of “Escape” has been penned by Ken Nolan, David Kajganich and Allan Loeb, who wrote the most recent draft. Story follows along the lines of the original in which Plissken — an iconic soldier-turned-criminal — is given 24 hours to find the President following the crash of Air Force One.
