According to Aint-It-Cool, emmerging action star Gerald Butler is interested in playing Snake Plisskin in a remake of John Carpenter’s “Escape From New York”. Apparently Butler is at the center of a package CAA started shopping around on Monday morning that also features Neal Mortiz as producer and “Black Hawk Down” scribe Ken Nolan as screenwriter.

“Escape” is one of those franchises I’d always wished we’d seen more of, and I love the Snake Plisskin character…but it is hard to imagine anyone playing him besides Kurt Russell.

Still, I think Butler is a pretty good choice…we’ll have more info as soon as we can.
