HaydnSpurrell HaydnSpurrell For ten years now the Escape from New York has been in some form of development, now simmering away at 20th Century Fox as talent has moved in and out of the project of the years.

While there isn't any new casting or production news, new details have arrived that indicate the film will be a prequel to the original and will provide some origin details on Snake Plissken and the state of the world.

According to The Wrap, the setting of the film will differ from the original in that it won't be a maximum security prison, but instead "breathtakingly lovely," with a tinge of futuristic visual.

Outside of New York, the rest of the world is in chaos, and “one in every seventy five human begins is now either a refugee, internally displaced, or seeking asylum.” Snake's role int he film is to bring a man to an agrochemical and biotech corporation.
