The critical response to "300" has been divided, but that hasn't stopped moviegoers from turning out to see it en masse -- which means this is a pretty good time for "300" star Gerard Butler to announce his next project. Snake Plissken fans, rejoice: Butler has signed on to do a remake of John Carpenter's 1981 classic, "Escape from New York." Back to Article

I think the most annoying thing in the world is people that for some reason use all CAPS for a whole paragraph.

It seems from what I've seen of "Death Proof" trailers, that Kurt Russell could still play Snake if you ask me.

Butler will work well as The Duke, or in a supporting role. I'd rather see Thomas Jane as Snake (meh).

please don't do it, gerard. "300" opened doors, "escape" will close them.
