New “hunk” Gerard Butler, straight off the success of ‘300’ is being fronted to studios by CAA in a remake of John Carpenter’s 1981 ‘Escape from New York.’
Butler will play Snake Plissken, the one eyed convict role made famous by Kurt Russell. Set in the future, Snake is sent into a maximum security prison – Manhattan - to save the president of what is left of the United States.
Neal Moritz will produce, with Ken Nolan (‘Black Hawk Down’) penning screenplay.

I think Butler would make an awesome Conan The barbarian
someone should tell Frank Miller to tell his buddy Robert Rodriguez that he needs A scottishman to play the ancient ancestor. Conans world was supposed to have existed long before the Celts !!
Yeahh !! We have a new CONAN!!
