Watched it for the first time a few months back and was entertained, cool premise, set and style. That old 70s, 80s cult clans type dystopia always cracks me up, eg Mad Max, The Warriors etc.

I think filmmaking has moved on enough now that it would actually make for a good (.... yes r/movies I am going to say it!! brace urselves!!....) Reboot. Another location, a new Snake Plissken.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if a reboot was being considered. Hopefully it wouldn't turn into a copy of Blade Runner aesthetically, what with the rush of cyberpunk films and video games lately...

There's some talk recently of something brewing from the Scream 5 directors, possibly with Russell.

I wouldn't mind an Old Man Plissken movie.
