The “Escape From New York” remake, which has been in development since 2015, is not seeing much movement, says screenwriter Leigh Whannell.
“At the moment, there is no update,” Whannell told TheWrap while talking about his film “The Invisible Man.”
“It was something that was instigated, and the train left the station before it was ready. The press release went out before it was ready to go out. Once this film stops and relaxes, I’ll have time to sit on a beach somewhere and think about what I want to do next. I’m a big fan of ‘Escape From New York’, but I’m not concretely sure that this will be my next film.
