From Darkhorizons, "A major meeting was held at Paramount last week with both John Carpenter and Kurt Russell in attendance. The topic -- preparing for a third entry in the Snake Plissken chronicles entitled Escape From Earth.
Apparently, Carpenter completed a script for the project eight years ago but the studio has now taken an interest in it after Russell demanded doing it before signing on with the studio for a three picture deal.
Although the screenplay is being kept under tight wraps, I'm told (by another anonymous) who was lucky enough to take a peek at the first thirteen pages that the script takes off immediately where the previous left off and features our planet en-route to Armageddon.
It looks as though Carpenter will push-off the production of Psychopath with Titan Productions and collaborator Todd Farmer in order to ready this entry for a 2008 release.In the first film, which takes place in 1998, the US President crashes into Manhattan, which is now a giant max. security prison, a convicted bank robber is sent in for a rescue."

I only saw the last three minutes of the L.A. one. Snake does some thing to make all of the power go off everywhere, and Rayanne Graff from My So-Called Life is saved from the electric chair as a result.
If I caught it right, she plays the president's rebel daughter, and she lets out this dippy, joyous "He did it! He turned off the world" as the lights go out. I thought she was being overly optimistic considering she's strapped to a chair in the dark.
Gee, way to ruin the ending.
Ending ruiner!
Yeah, I guess I did. Isn't that movie horrible, though?
It's basically the first film with slightly better fx. It's fun and mindless.
