Updated Links Section, More info on Escape From New Jersey
Updated Links Section! Check it out! It's sad to see so many sites down.
And here's more info from Chris R. Notarile on the Escape From New Jersey fan film: "As for what's going on, we plan to film next month hopefully. we're going to try and just make a cool series that lives in between New York and LA. as for surprises, um, it will be filled with everything you love about snake and we might bring in a few familiar faces from the mythos. hopefully we will get some more cash for this to keep it going, but right now, we're just focusing on the first part and if all goes well, we will keep it up."

Escape From New Jersey Fan Film, EFNY: Episode 1 (Mp3), Alpinestar Super Victory Boots, pics etc
Escape From New JerseyChris R. Notarile (Blinky Production's Escape Big Trouble in New Jersey) is currently working on a new EFNY fan flick! And none other than Hector De La Rosa (Warhero) will star as our beloved antihero. A wonderful choice. I can't help to feel a bit jealous though. Have a blast Hector! This is what he says about it: "I am extremely exited to announce the upcoming short film series Escape from New Jersey. I am also thrilled and honored that I will be playing Snake Plissken! The story takes place directly after the events in the Big Apple. These new adventures will follow Snake into the Garden State where he will of course find more trouble. The film maker Chris R. Notarile of Blinky Productions promises not to disappoint true Snake fans. We are working together ironing out every detail, so that the look and the feel of this epic series stays true to EFNY! Stay tuned!!" Sounds promising.
Then we have a 32 minute fan audio production of EFNY from BrokenSea.com. So far only one episode has been released, but according to them, more will follow. It's a well made production worth listening to. Visit the website or go to my: Multimedia - Music/Sounds page to check it out.
I also got an e-mail from Chris Ekers. He told me a place to find Alpinestar Super Victory Boots. They are very similar to the ones Snake has. Check out my: Items - Clothes page for more info. Thanks Chris for the info.
Then we have the usual pics. I have also made some changes in my: Multimedia - Art page. Now I'm only interested in Snake art only featuring Snake. I am tired of seeing Snake as a cat, dog, kangaroo, fox etc. I still have a small section of art based on Snake I can't find on deviantART for those who have this fetishism.
Also, don't forget to check out: The Ward: Before The Cameras Roll over at theofficialjohncarpenter.com. It's a blast seeing John doing features again. We have missed you.

Fan movie, EFNY talkback radio show, imcdb, postponed EFLA Blue-Ray, pics
A fan movie called Escape From New York (in 2 minutes) was found. It's a jolly silly, silly spoof of the EFNY remake.
Then there is a lengthy talk about EFNY on Talkback Radio Show. I don't usually post these things, but this is a fun talk worth hearing to. They talk about what makes this movie so great and about movies today and the past etc. They say a lot of good and true stuff. We're worth better movies today.
There's some more fun escape related videos on YouTube etc. But they must fulfill the following criteria to match my movies page: They must indicate that Snake Plissken is in it, and he must wear an eye patch etc. Fake trailers, reviews, fan music videos (on YouTube. They come and they disappear) and such are also not accepted.
And here's something for all you car fanatics out there. Now there's also a imcdb (The Internet Movie Cars Database). What's next? Imsdb? (The Internet Movie Shoes Database) It wouldn't surprise me. Here's the pages: Escape From New York, Escape From L.A.
And there are currently no new release date in the states for the EFLA Blue-Ray release. In UK the release have been postponed to 29/04/2010. This is your God (money), Consume, Watch TV, Obey, Marry and Reproduce...
Then there's a couple of new pics.
Finally, big thanks to Joe Thornton, Invalid and Michael for your kind words. You make me happy.

Escape From L.A. Expanded Score, fixed link, interview, imfdb etc.
Yeah baby! I found the expanded EFLA score finally. Big thanks to the one who uploaded it. More music from John Carpenter can be found here for example. Go to my "Multimedia - Music/Sounds" Page and do yourself a favor and download it. Then I fixed the broken: Fotog Ink Presents Rare Tracks From Escape From New York and Escape From L.A. link. I uploaded it myself on Rapidshare. Enjoy.
An interview with Kurt Russell about his thoughts on the EFNY remake called: Kurt Russell's Not Happy About the Planned "Escape from New York" Remake was also found.
And here's something for all you gun crazy people out there. Imfdb (The Internet Movie Firearms Database) is an encyclopedia over weapons used in movies. Of course EFNY and EFLA are no exceptions: Escape From New York, Escape From L.A.

The Adventures of Snake Plissken
Joe Thornton found the entire "The Adventures of Snake Plissken" comic book scanned on Titania Le Fay's "Call Me Snake" Journal Page. Thank you both. I'm not a big fan of it. I think it's too far fetched, lacks depth and that Snake is a bit too big and has got too feminine hair. If you somehow have missed this one issue comic book, do yourself a favor and go ahead and check it out. Snake is in it, so it is cool either way.
Some more pics has also been posted.

More videos etc
Four more videos has been added to my "Movies" page. First we have a seven minute EFNY TV special from Italy. It's mostly in Italian, but we get both John Carpenter and Ernest Borgnine in this fine little TV special. Then we have MGM's EFNY SE DVD Trailer and the superb documentary on John called: Fear is just the beginning... The Man and His Movies. I still recommend everyone to buy this documentary. Every John Carpenter fan should have a copy. I was a fool once linking to the entire film of EFNY on YouTube. Who wants to see EFNY on YouTube? It's just ridiculous. If you don't own a copy and are visiting me here, you really should do better things like getting yourself a copy. The last video is a short MTV clip of Kurt Russell talking about Snake and the EFNY remake. I love how Kurt ends the interview with saying: "Whatever."

Article by me.
All those great quotes from Leca on Snake inspired me to write this article: Why Snake Plissken Causes Trouble And Why We Need Him. Don't forget to comment it here.

Leca has more in store for us.
Leca Buchan (Pack of Rats) has posted more great quotes over at snakeplissken.net. I can't thank him enough. These quotes really show us what an unique character Snake Plissken really is. He also sent me a great article in glorious pdf: "Escape from New York," By Ed Naha, Future Life.
Thank you fellow Snake fan.

Back with a Blast!
Three months without any updates. Shame on me. Well, I hope I can repair the damages. First of all, the EFNY remake seems to be on again. Producer Neal Moritz is going to produce a remake of Cliffhanger and also a re-boot Escape From New York. The Budget is set to $80 million, and it will be made by Warner Bros, New Line and Studio Canal.
Bad huh? Great huh? I don't know. I'm so confused. I want to see my hero rise again, but at the same time I'm pretty sure they will screw this up.
What else, there's a bunch of new videos in my movies section. The interview with John Carpenter from the EFNY Director's Cut VHS for instance. Ash595 is also a gentleman, he put up the Making of Escape From L.A. featurette on YouTube. Many thanks. A spoof trailer called Escape From Snake On A Plane and an EFNY TV trailer was also found.
Leca Buchan (Pack of Rats) found an old fanzine from 1982 called Outlands, featuring a Snake story called: "I Thought You Were Dead..." written by Marj Ihssen. A very fine story indeed. This fanzine has a copyright notice, but if you don't want this story here, you're weird. The story is available in my fan fiction section in pdf. Many thanks Leca.
Leca also posted some great quotes from John Carpenter and Kurt Russell etc about Snake from various interviews and articles in his topic: "The old stuff can be new to fans who've never seen it" on SnakePlissken.net. I was planning to add more quotes on my press - quotes section myself, but he did the job for me. You found some really great quotes. Thank you again.
Also, check out this thing. A little late perhaps, but maybe it'll happen again. Great initiative though: Free St. Louis ‘Escape From New York’ Screening With the Movie Geeks
