Not that it's going to happen or anything, but Wolf Man director Leigh Whannell is open to, or at least would consider, directing a remake of the John Carpenter 1981 classic Escape From New York.
“It’s so funny, with the movie industry, projects can die for various reasons. It can be something as simple as, ‘Oh, we lost the rights,’ it could be something like I’m just not gelling with the producers,” Whannell shared with ComicBook in support of Wolf Man about whether his Escape from New York could be revived. “I feel like the projects that do come to life are almost accidents. Like, ‘Oh, this one actually happened.’ So I think, for now, Escape from New York, if it came back around, I’d think about it, but for now, it’s not happening.”
