February 13, 2003... Coming Attractions was scooped by an individual working on this project and given exclusive information about the premise of the Snake Plissken Chronicles anime movie including the film's previously unknown premise described above. First announced in the summer of 2002, the anime movie is but one of three new projects featuring John Carpenter's post-apocalytic character first seen in Escape From New York. Hurricane Comics will release the first issue of John Carpenter's Snake Plissken Chronicles this spring, the start of an ongoing comic book series chronicling the adventures of Snake the day after the conclusion of Escape From New York. Also in development is a video game. Star Kurt Russell has agreed to lend his voice to both the anime movie and the video game.
The anime will be directed by Mamoru Oshii and created by Production IG, the creators of the internationally known anime film Ghost in the Shell.
We were also told one tantalizing rumor that may (or may not) come to pass: John Carpenter may be lending his voice to one of the anime's main characters.
