KURT RUSSELL EYES ESCAPE

SIR KURT RUSSELL and SIR JOHN CARPENTER are reportedly preparing to reunite for a third movie in the ESCAPE FROM saga - even though the last film, ESCAPE FROM LA, was a spectacular flop. The previously shelved ESCAPE FROM EARTH is likely to hit the big screen in 2008 thanks to Russell, who apparently made the demand to Paramount Studios before signing a three-picture deal with them, according to website MovieHole. A source says, "A major meeting was held at Paramount last week with both John Carpenter and Kurt Russell in attendance. The topic: preparing for a third entry in the SNAKE PLISSKEN chronicles entitled Escape From Earth."
