According to Deadline, John Carpenter’s 1981 sci-fi classic, Escape From New York, is set to be rebooted by The Matrix and V For Vendetta producer Joel Silver.
Deadline writes, “The goal is to turn it into a trilogy, starting with an origin story in a fashion similar to the way Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes restarted that franchise.”
