Yebb. I agree. Do a low budget Escape movie with Carpenter and Russel.
Brolin is a bad ass no doubt but Russel is Plisken for life.

I do agree that Brolin is a very good choice but I really dont see the point in a remake, like recent sequels Die hard,Indiana Jones and the glut of horror remakes it’s all about branding, name recognition for the mass audiences nomater if they are familiar with the actual movie or not. Escape is an excellent genre movie which I dont really want to see get raped by Ratner or whoever. I’m not a Ratner hater i just believe his filmmaking has no personality. I would much rather see Carpenter have another crack at a sequel, cut the budget in half and get Russell on board. If Ford and Willis arent getting to old for this shit! then why should Russell.

I was ok with the selection of Gerard Butler, but it the Josh Brolin rumor is true, I’m genuinely interested in seeing this film made.

paul, haha, I know…I still stand by my point…but the CAPS and the exclaimation points are just for effect…all this movie discussion is in good fun, at least for me, and I hope for everyone else as well.

Woah bob calm down, it’s just a couple of shitty movies we’re talking about here. It’s not the end of the world.

I like brolin alot, but I am very adamant in my belief that if an actor originated a character on screen that is a SCREEN ORIGINAL CHARACTER (so not harry potter, james bond, jack ryan or frodo…but like Robocop, Indy, John McClane, Peewee, The Dude…etc.) that that actor IS (no fucking exceptions…IS!!!!) that character…Bruce Campbell is Ash, Robert Englund is Freddy, Michael J. Fox is Marty and Kurt Russell IS Snake Plissken…no fucking arguments…fucking hollywood…fucking kids and their fucking music…GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!…sorry for the language.

Well, if they’re going to re-do this film they could do much worse than Brolin for Snake. I just hope they don’t backtrack to more Butler/Ratner talk.

McG?!!! Oh god, no! And what a great title: Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. Who came up with that? Ed Wood? OK. Maybe it’s not going to be that bad. Maybe I’m just over-reacting. But Brolin as the Terminator is definately worth looking forward to. Lets hope for the best.

Brolin is the Terminator (not sure if this is confirmed or not), Bale is John Connor, and McG is directing.
