Kurt Russell Is Mad

Kurt Russell is not exactly estatic with the idea that his cult clasic movie Escape From New York will be resurrected with Gerald Butler in the lead.

Some of his comments are:

"...I will say that when I was told who was going to play Snake Plissken, my initial reaction was ''Oh, man!'' [Russell winces]. I do think that character was quintessentially one thing. And that is, American... "

"...People come up to me and say, ''You played Snake Plissken.'' I didn't play Snake Plissken, I created him!...I did Wyatt Earp — there's only been 50 of those. But I'll tell you what, I'll put my Wyatt Earp up against anybody's. I'll put my MacCready [his character in The Thing] up against anybody's."

Not sure I want to see a remake of this movie.... It was a great movie with Kurt Russell....
