SomeoneJohn Carpenter, Back in Action?
May 27th 2009 04:53
Personally, I think John Carpenter has brought us some excellent movies. The Thing is one of my favourite horror movies of all time, and I was a big fan of Escape from New York... hell, I even liked Escape from L.A., even though it had nothing on the original.
However, Mr. Carpenter has been M.I.A. since Ghosts of Mars (2001). It is with a mixed sense of trepidation and delight that I see he is back in action, with no less than 3 movies due out next year (1 announced, 2 in pre-production). I can't find many details about these movies...
However, one of them is called 'The Prince', and it's a horror... I can only assume it's a remake of his 1987 movie Prince of Darkness. What's even more disturbing is at the top of his IMDB film list is They Live and Escape from New York. If anyone has IMDB Pro, please, share the details of these movies.
Could it be that simply returning to The Thing wasn't enough? Will we see someone try to compete with Kurt Russel for the title of Snake Plissken? I guess only time will tell... but I hope not.

There's just something about Carpenter movies that's... well.... irreplaceable. I would be infinitely impressed if someone could surpass the originals, but I doubt it.
