: "Escape" TV
Series
Current Status:
Canned. According to the book "John Carpenter: Prince of Darkness" Tribune
Entertainment canned the plans for the series after 9/11. It was turned down by
all the major networks for being "too dark and bleak."
Facts:
There are currently no signs of pre-production of the "Escape" series
since Tinseltown
didn't bite it and Carpenter and company couldn't make it fly for the 2001
television
season. (Carpenter, Russell and Hill was supposed to co-produce the
hundred one hour
episodes in which not Kurt Russell would star.)
The show was going to be set before EFNY in the 21st century decimated
by man-made
catastrophes and surrounded by hardened criminals. But instead
of being a notorious outlaw Snake would have a more permanent job working for the President
as a roving
agent for the U.N., visiting surviving cities around the world
and helping to bring
normalcy to the devastated populace. But ultimately he must stay alive to
defeat his
nemesis, Police Commissioner Bob Hauk.
Misc: Howard
Chaykin was hired as chief writer.

: John Carpenter's Escape From Earth
Current Status:
No signs of production. There was a rumour recently saying that John
Carpenter and Kurt Russell was preparing a third movie. Apparently Carpenter had
completed a screenplay eight years ago and Russell was damanding to do it before
signing on a three picture deal with Paramount. Sadly this was just a rumour.
Facts:
The possibilities of making a third part of the Escape film series was brought
up by John Carpenter and Debra Hill when discussing the TV series (that
never went off). If it would become popular a third part called "Escape From
Earth" would be seriously reconsidered. Before this John and Debra had only talked
about it. They have a story and John, Debra and Kurt are in but I doubt we'll
ever see it. It would be a dream come true though.
Plot: According to Wikipedia: John Carpenter wrote a treatment for "Escape From
Earth" which sees the anti-hero character, played by Kurt Russell, escaping the
planet before immediate armageddon caused by a dark matter experiment gone
wrong, creating a plague of vicious nanites that transform the victims into an
undead army of "destructive singularities" that can kill by simply touching
their victims, creating an undead army of dark matter clones with the
constitution of a black hole, able to bond with non-living matter, and
possessing an enormous density that gives them super-strength by virtue of their
immense weight.
