Leigh Whannell (Upgrade) will be writing Fox’s Escape from New York remake, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The news follows the recent announcement that Whannell will be writing and directing The Invisible Man for Universal.

Whannell wants to avoid the “bloated tentpole remake path” that afflicted other reboots of 1980’s classics like Robocop and Total Recall.
