John Carpenter parla del 'remake' di 'Fuga da New York' (e anche di 300)
>>>>>
DRE:So in this remake they’re talking about...
John:I don’t know that it’s a remake. I think it’s a lot about Snake before he gets to New York.
DRE:But it just made me think that maybe the remake rights might be different than the rights to the character Snake Plissken because none of the articles mentioned you guys being involved with the project. Are you guys going to be credited producers?
John:Executive producer.
DRE:Do you have any desire to be more involved?
John:My main involvement is I read the scripts and make sure the character is the same character that we wrote originally. I think that would be cool. My other main involvement in this project is to extend my hand and have a check placed in it.
DRE:It’s always nice when you don’t have to do anything, right?
John:You’re right. After 30 odd years of being in the fucking business, it’s nice to not have to do anything and get paid. That’s what I’ve been trying to do all my life.
DRE:Then the past few years must have been pretty good for you.
John:Not bad. Not bad.
DRE:Obviously Snake was a character that was perfect for the time he was in, so do you think Snake will lose the faux mullet?
John:I don’t know what to do about that. That’s not my decision. Snake is a character who was born out of the 1970’s when New York was having real problems. He came out of a post-Vietnam era and he was an anti-authoritarian. He was a really unique type of character back then. He’ll probably be reinvented for his time. But we’ll see. I don’t know if he will be mullet-less or with the mullet.
DRE:Have you ever seen any of Gerard Butler’s previous movies?
John:Yes, I like his work.
DRE:I think you’ll be very impressed after you see 300.
John:I can’t wait to see 300. It sounds really exciting. It looks great.
DRE:You don’t seem to mind these remakes, is that a result of you directing remakes yourself?
John:Well, if I’m not directing a movie, it’s not really mine. I’m flattered when somebody wants to take an old film of mine or a story of mine and rework it. I think that’s nice. I’m not trying to protect golden calf or something. It just isn’t that way. It’s just a damn movie, man.
