Get Quentin Tarantino to direct Escape III


I wish theyd forget doing a PG13 reboot directed by the latest music video guy or Wiseman or Paul WS Anderson starring someone like the Tron Legacy guy or G Butler that wont make any money

Ideally Carpenter should come back but he probably dosnt want to do it (aside an exec producer role), but QT would be perfect to do the 3rd (R rated) Escape movie – The Escape world always felt very Tarantinoesque (esp LA no doubt influenced by QTs movies like QTs were influenced by Carpenters), hes a big fan of Carpenters, hes currently directing Russell in Hateful 8 (and obviously they did Deathproof) plus QT has yet to do a SF movie, and isnt above doing a sequel to another series (Django). Needn't be Escape from Earth either as the ending of EFLA could be undone with a throwaway line. Set it in NY again (and a bit in LA), but not so much of a remake of EFNY as EFLA.

Cast could be - Kurt Russell (Snake), Keith David (Lee Van Cleef/Stacey Keach role), SLJ (crazed religious nut), Travolta (main villain – an ex Special Force buddy of Snakes who betrayed him), Michael Madsen (supporting villain another ex SF guy who worked with Snake), De Niro (Cabbies younger bro?), Steve Buscemi (Map to the Stars Eddie), Bruce Campbell (Surgeon General of BH), Robert Forster (as the pres)

Tarantino sucks.

reply

Not only Tarantino sucks as the only thing he knows how to do is rip-off other movies.

reply

Tarantino should direct a movie about sucking feet, that's the only thing he's good.

reply

No need for that. Make a "collage" of scenes from Pulp Fiction and From Dusk Till Dawn. Considering his mouth, he must´ve sucked a lot of feet. But men feet.

The fvcktard just loves to svck smelly ones

If QT take inspiration,it's called homage,if everyone else do the same,it's called rip-off

reply

you guys are right. i honestly can't watch any of his movies. casting Brad Pitt in inglorious basterds was the final straw
