If Rodriguez is making this version, will it feature Lucha Underground characters instead of Ox Baker?

Paul London's recent real head wound looks more gruesome than anything from Ox's fight scene. But wouldn't those characters be better suited for a reboot of Escape From LA?

I feel like AAA would still send them a threatening letter

I figure it would be a LU character, like Matanza, although it should be Penta 0M.

I think Pentagon's more likely to lose to the Snake Tribe than he is to Snake Plissken.

As long as Robert gets a bigger budget than everything else he's been doing for the last decade then hey. It can't be worse than Escape from LA, can it? I mean I saw that thing in the theater and all I remember is Bruce Campbell. 

[odessasteps]

I loved the end of Escape from LA.

With Ricky Banderas as Ricky Banderas

[Curt McGirt]

Antonio Banderas vs. Ricky Banderas?

[RIPPA]

Ferdinand

Yup - John Cena as a giant bull

And yes the tag line is "You Will Bullieve"

Bo Dallas is gonna be so pissed

[RIPPA]

A Ghost Story

Rooney Mara, Casey Affleck

Supposedly that is actually Casey Affleck under the sheet too

[J.T.]

They got a professional wrestler whose job it is to create character that solves things on television through violent confrontation to voice the character of a children's book that was once accused of promoting passive civil disobedience. 

Irony.

Poor Rooney Mara.  First Dragon Tattoo, then Side Effects, and now Ghost Story.  I'll bet she'd kill to get a script for a movie where she didn't play a crazy person.

Much like ANT MAN, I'm just never going to be able to watch that movie without thinking of how much better the original director would've done.

Spoiler

Escape from NY: Plissken switches the tapes because the President comes off as a thankless jerk. Instead of talk of nuclear fission from the Hartford Summit, we get Cabbie's bandstand music playing while the President stands there with egg on his face. Yeah, that's a bit bad, but they can get other tape. That the President survived at all could be played up in that world in the days to come after the credits rolled. He's the one that Escaped From New York. That's a re-electable tough guy right there.

The real losers are who? Cabbie, Brain, Maggie and a handful of bad guys.

 

Escape from LA: Plissken activates the World Code, which is basically a global EMP, mainly because he's a survivalist that doesn't need most society trappings, but also because the President's a heartless jerk willing to kill his own daughter to look good in the public. A fake tough re-electable guy, so to speak.

The real losers are who? Pretty much everyone on the planet that likes to use anything with electricity, and still thinks their own little worlds are safe because everyone that's "bad" had already been shipped to places like NY or LA.

 

Escape From L.A. has an even bleaker, more catastrophic ending than New York. It works, given the dystopian nature of the flicks.

But of course NY was better. If nothing else, fighting Ox Baker is a lot more dramatic and dangerous looking than having to take 5 shots on a basketball court.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets Full Trailer

Watched this trailer with Xavi, and right when it was halfway through he said "This looks very Mass Effect". And then the logo came up:

 

[RIPPA]

I have already seen a couple of people make the comment that this will probably be the closest we ever get to a Mass Effect movie

Oh, the Ant-Man movie we got was perfectly fine.

The similarities between Valerian and Mass Effect should end at the titles.  I suppose both are more or less space operas, but I seem to remember Valerian's adventures being a lot more batshit insane than anything in the MEU.
