The producer said: There was a videogame that came out a few years ago called A rkham City, which shows how when Gotham became this kind of walled prison. And when you take into account something Joel Silver said back in 2014, this shouldn't be surprising. But that's why Bloody Disgusting says that this is actually an Escape from New York prequel. With the exception of Snake Plissken being tasked with bringing in someone from inside New York City, this doesn't sound anything like the original Escape from New York. Newton also happens to have some kind of mysterious device call Fat Boy, 'an ominous, dull metal sphere about the size of a car, in a nest of conduits and cabling.' Newton donated his entire fortune to charity five years before our story takes place, but don't let that trick you into thinking he's a good guy. So what's Snake Plissken's role in all of this? Apparently he is being tasked by CIA Deputy Executive Director Roberta Hauk (a gender-swapped role originally played by Lee Van Cleef in the original) with bringing in a man named Thomas Newton, described as a lean, intensely charismatic playboy heir to an agrochemical and biotech corporation. And while the city might feel safe from all the protection in place by the aforementioned security drones and artificial intelligence, these measures are not as good at keeping the city safe as everyone hoped. It appears New York's primary problem is Superstorm Ellery, which is on its way to the East Coast. As far as the population of the world goes, 'one in every seventy five human begins is now either a refugee, internally displaced, or seeking asylum.' So it seems New York City is one of the few safe places in the world, which would explain why New York is managed so expertly by artificial intelligence and drones, all controlled by a woman named April. However, despite the serene nature of New York City, the rest of the world is in chaos.

Specifically, Manhattan has some 'towering glass structures and a high, undulating glass wall.' There are also little drones that fly around without disrupting the beauty of the city, as well as artificial intelligence that keeps everything in order and a small staff of technicians and researchers known as 'Seers.' Instead, New York is described as 'breathtakingly lovely,' but with some futuristic touches. First and foremost, unlike the setting of the original 1981 film, New York City is not a maximum security prison. The Wrap was first to reveal some intriguing details about the Escape from New York remake. However, keep in mind that some of these details might dive into spoiler territory, so continue to read at your own risk. First and foremost, it has been confirmed that the Escape from New York remake is in fact a prequel that will provide some origin details on both Snake Plissken (originally played by Kurt Russell) and the state of the world. As of now, no new talent has come on board since Luther creator Neil Cross was hired last fall, but some new details have emerged on the project that could either be really interesting or extremely frustrating for fans of the original movie.
