Before they shot a frame of film, Gerard Butler escaped "Escape From New York," the remake of the John Carpenter film.

Right after his turn as the Spartan in "300," Butler made a deal to play Snake Plissken in a film bought at auction by New Line. He left for creative differences. New Line is persevering: studio has brought Jonathan Mostow in to rewrite, with an option to direct.

Butler just began production on Lakeshore's "Game," which Lionsgate will distribute. He'll next be seen starring in the Richard LaGravanese-directed "P.S., I Love You," the Guy Ritchie-directed "Rock N Rolla," and Fox-Walden's "Nim's Island."

Ratner Escapes From Remake?

October 29, 2007 - Although he's only been linked with the project for a few weeks, filmmaker Brett Ratner has reportedly passed on directing New Line's remake of Escape From New York.

A scooper for Ain't It Cool News claims to have chatted with Ratner at this past weekend's Savannah Film Festival, where Ratner was a guest. Ratner advised them that Escape From New York was still happening, but not with him at the helm.

Ratner had stepped in for Len Wiseman, who was first attached to direct the re-imagining of John Carpenter's 1981 cult classic. Gerard Butler remains attached to star as Snake Plissken, a role originated by Kurt Russell.
