At the Movies: Gerard Butler Ponders Great Escape

Per Variety, several studios are battling over dibs on a remake of John Carpenter's Escape from New York, to headline Gerard Butler (300) as one-eyed convict Snake Plissken.... Luke Wilson, Amanda Peet, Dennis Quaid, Justin Long and Chris Evans have joined the voice cast of Terra, a CG-animated pic about interplanetary conflict.... DreamWorks Animation plans to produce all of its films in 3-D starting in 2009, beginning with the summer release Monsters vs. Aliens.

NO! NO NO NO NO NO! Escape from New York must not be remade. And before people start griping, I'm not against remakes per se. Just this particular one! And anyway, it already *was* remade by Carpenter himself.

Just wanted to second this:

"The man is too hot to be named Gerald."

I'm torn between my usual disgust with studios not to be able to come up with any original content anymore, and my desire to see Gerard Butler in ANYTHING. Toss up.
