Len Wiseman, the director behind the Underworld movies and this year's
Live Free or Die Hard, has dropped out of New Line's remake of Escape
from New York. There is some uncertainty as to why he has left the
project, but he will no longer be taking on the dystopian world originally
created by John Carpenter. Gerard Butler remains attached to take on the
Snake Plissken role first played by Kurt Russell. The studio is
waiting on the latest draft of the script before moving forward with another
director.
