John Carpenter’s ‘Escape From New York’ Remake in the Works After Failed Attempts

The 1980s were a golden age for dark, cautionary tales in movies, and director John Carpenter delivered several iconic films, including The Thing, Prince of Darkness, and They Live. Before that, in 1979, he directed Elvis, starring Kurt Russell as the legendary musician. Their successful partnership continued in 1981 with the dystopian hit Escape from New York.
