Fans of the Escape From… movie franchise will be glad to know that Kurt Russell has signed on to play Snake Plissken again in Escape From Detroit.  This time around he will be helping to escort employees of the 4 remaining Starbuck’s out of the city.  They will have to navigate through abandoned grocery stores, a gauntlet of bitter Kwame Kilpatrick supporters, and former Chrysler dealers who have resorted to cannibalism.

Russell was quoted as saying, “I had no plans for doing another Escape From, but I was struck by the realism of the script and thought this had more of a ‘science fact’ ring to it than science fiction.”

Shooting will begin in a few weeks, just as soon as the Detroit police can clear away the bodies from the Stanley Cup aftermath.

Carry on, Citizens!
