Will director John Carpenter return this year with 'Escape from New York' sequel 'Escape from Earth'? The rumor began doing the rounds in a big way after a fan-made poster for an alleged movie titled 'Escape from Earth' was posted on a Facebook page. It has gone viral across the internet. 'Escape from New York' and 'Escape from L.A.'s Kurt Russell have been shown in the poster. He has been shown in his iconic role of Snake Plissken, complete with a leather jacket and eye patch, as he stands in front of an image of the Earth under the film's title card.

Synopsis and teaser

The user has also written a synopsis for the supposed film and teased Carpenter and Russell's returns along with a July 2024 release timeframe. Snake Plissken has been teased as "in a space capsule, flying interstellar." Along with the poster the Facebook account holder has written, "Depends on the story. 'Escape from Earth' was kind of Snake Plissken in a space capsule, flying interstellar. So there’d be a lot of special effects in it. Which I never care about too much. But that’s what it would look like."

Will Kurt Russel return?

After the release of 'Escape from LA', Russell refused to return to the role. Reacting to this, Carpenter said,"Look, there's nobody. There's nobody like Kurt Russell." But Carpenter is open to the idea of taking Russell's son Wyatt, especially with Wyatt Russell now becoming a major star in the MCU with his role as John Walker.


However, doubts have been raised about the poster and it can be rejected as fake.

Will 'Escape from Earth' happen?

'Escape from Earth' is off the table for production at present, considering John Carpenter has not directed a movie since 2010's 'The Ward'. Kurt Russell has been busy in Hollywood for nearly 30 years after leaving Snake Plissken behind. He is now preparing for the release of Andrew Patterson's 'The Rivals of Amizah King', in which he stars alongside Matthew McConaughey.

After completing Apple Monarch: Legacy of Monsters', Wyatt Russel is also preparing for his return to the big screen. He will make his second appearance as the U.S. Agent in the MCU in 2025's Thunderbolts as the new film prepares to begin filming.
