Collider:
Liam Neeson is set to reprise his wizened badass character yet again by starring in a remake of Rupert Wyatt‘s The Escapist. Wyatt’s U.K. prison thriller starred Brian Cox as an inmate with a life sentence who stages a prison break by recruiting fellow inmates so that he can see his sick daughter. Considering the solid premise and strong cast—which also includes Damian Lewis, Joseph Fiennes, Seu Jorge, Liam Cunningham, and Dominic Cooper—I felt that the movie should have been much better than it was, but instead it feels very rote. Perhaps the American remake can get it right, and putting Neeson in the lead is a good start.
Nekki has announced that the forthcoming gun fu game, SPINE, will receive a movie adaptation to expand the franchise.
