Rumor: Josh Brolin Escaping New York [Latino Review/Jun 20/2008] By Edgar

Spielberg News
a French website is reporting that Josh
Brolin
is in talks or he is in consideration to play Snake
Plissken
in a remake of Escape From New York. This is yet
to
be confirmed, so for now is a rumor.
Here is what the site says:
"A source close to the production [if so] has assured
us
that it is now Josh Brolin to be in the running to takeover
the role of Snake Plissken in the remake currently
in
draft New York 1997.”
At one point I believe that Gerard Butler was in the running
but
later dropped out.
