KURT RUSSELL - RUSSELL ENRAGED WITH NEW SNAKE PLISSKEN
LATEST: American actor KURT RUSSELL is enraged with the decision to cast Scottish actor GERARD BUTLER in a remake of the 1981 film ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK.
Russell, who played infamous anti-hero SNAKE PLISSKEN in the JOHN CARPENTER-directed original, has taken issue with the casting of the 300 star because he's not American.
Russell, 56, says, "When I was told my initial reaction was, 'Oh man.'
"I do think that character was quintessentially one thing - and that's American."

Jealousy is a green-eyed monster, isn't it? Russell is beyond his days as an
action star. It isn't that Butler is Scottish. It's that he's young and
handsome and a much better all-around performer than Goldie's boytoy.

A little green-eyed jealousy there, Kurt? I really respected you until now.
Gerry will WOW in the role, as he does in every role he plays!
