This came out of nowhere, a remake of Escape From NY? Gerad Butler is playing Snake though that is interesting. He HAS to have that gruff voice Russel's Snake in the movie had(and Snake in the MGS games stole, among many things from the first film) for it to work though.
One interesting thing is the Black Hawk Down writer is writing it and Escape From NY was basically a post-apocalyptic verision of Black Hawk Down in a way. Still, odd that this is getting a remake.
How long to MGS fanboys who never seen the original call this a rip-off of MGS?

damn you beat me. *locks his own topic*
Oh and PD the first one is a CLASSIC. Don't bash it. Without it MGS would never have existed. lol

Duh its cheesey. But does that take away from the fact its a 80's classic? And again without it PS3 fans wouldn't have their beloved MGS 4.damn you beat me. *locks his own topic*

Don't support logical fallacies.
Even people on GAF are saying this is a low action cheese fest. I'll see it, but it looks boring. Die Hard is so awesome :heartbeat
We already got a remake of Escape from New York.Escape From L.A.?
Has Kojima ever admitted his snake character was "inspired" (more like stole lol) by the snake in the movie?
300 started from a homoerotic penis pump to THIS.Why? The first movie is a ton of fun, if this is half as good it will more fun than half the sci-fi films released today.
FUCK IT.
FUCK ANYBODY THAT WATCHES THIS REMAKE.
FUCK THEIR FAMILIES.
many times remakes are better than the original(hitchcock's the man who knew too much, war of the worlds, the departed, etc) why not give this a chance?

best metal gear parody ever!
How was the Assault on Precinct 13 remake? I never bothered to check it out.
Also, more often than not, Cheebs, remakes are bad. That's like saying, "Hey, 1-out-of-4 remakes are good - let's give it a chance!" Let's not.Exactly. I can't believe they would remake it for any reason other then a summer blockbuster.
Most people in that thread agreed that there was not really any reason to remake it and that much worse movies could be remade.
Yes, much worse movies could be "classic" material.
What?They agreed that the writer of Scanners had much worse movies that could be remade (as in they're good).
You're forgetting in MGS2, Snake's code name is Plisken.
NEVAR FORGET:
