I think I just crapped my pants. John Carpenter’s Escape from New York is finally coming out on Blu-ray! This is classic Carpenter at his best, made in the early 80s with one of his best synth-guitar soundtracks and his finest leading man, Kurt Russell tearing up the screen for the first and best time as the deadly Snake Plissken! God, I love this film! Sadly, MGM hasn’t published all the disc details yet but I’ve got my fingers crossed that we’ll finally see a nice, detailed remaster here.
