After Escape From LA, Kurt Russell’s Never-Made Sequel is 1 of Hollywood’s Greatest “What If…” Movies

Let me tell you, Kurt Russell was Snake Plissken, and he really had to be convinced to revisit that iconic, cynical role after all those years. It’s fascinating to learn that John Carpenter actually used the promise of co-writing the script for L.A. Confidential—sorry, L.A.—as leverage to get him on board. Russell’s dedication was key; it ultimately helped convince Paramount to actually make the sequel. But here’s the really interesting part: a third Snake Plissken film was seriously considered! While it never happened, bits and pieces of the proposed story have leaked over time, and honestly, it remains one of the biggest ‘what could have been’ projects in Hollywood history. It’s a real shame, because I think audiences would have loved it.

Twilight Zone Episodes That Would Be Controversial Today

Even so, the series clearly comes from a different era, and some parts haven’t held up well over time. Certain episodes focus on issues that aren’t relevant anymore, and others rely on outdated and offensive stereotypes. A few are just weak or based on ideas that today’s viewers wouldn’t accept. These episodes are particularly noticeable because so much of The Twilight Zone still feels fresh and relevant.

This episode focuses on Ryan, Maverick, and Zoe – all children who’ve lost a parent in the conflict with Homelander.

The Greatest Philip K. Dick Movie’s New 2026 Followup Is What Cyberpunk Needs

Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner was a truly innovative science fiction film. While not a direct adaptation, it was heavily inspired by Philip K. Dick’s novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Because it’s challenging to create believable cyberpunk worlds for film and television, both Blade Runner and its 2017 sequel are still considered among the best examples of the subgenre.

Violent Night 2 Trailer: Kristen Bell Revealed As Mrs. Claus

A new trailer reveals Santa Claus grappling with a difficult past that’s led him to use his famous naughty and nice list to track down criminals.

The ‘Scrubs’ Revival Refuses To Call the Janitor Glenn Matthews

The Janitor from Scrubs is famously enigmatic, and throughout the show, fans were obsessed with discovering his true name. He playfully offered numerous false identities – like Dr. Ján Ïtor, Roscoe, and even Neil Flynn (which was jokingly tied to his appearance in the movie The Fugitive). Even when he seemingly revealed his real name to JD in the 2009 finale, many viewers suspected a trick. While creator Bill Lawrence later confirmed that the Janitor was actually being truthful that time, the show’s recent revival has avoided directly addressing the reveal.
