*****This is a NON-PROFIT FAN FILM which contains 3rd party musical content.******
Picking up right where John Carpenter's "Escape From New York" ended, we find Snake Plissken stuck in New Jersey with nowhere to go and nothing to do, except get drunk. But the Garden State gets put into a state of panic when the Crazies blast their way through the Holland Tunnel and the tri-state area is put on Marshal Lockdown. Can a wounded Snake survive this new challenge, but more importantly, can he escape from New Jersey?
You can also escape New Jersey on DVD at www.blinky-productions.com
Complimentary copies available upon request and the following of the posted instructions.
A WORD FROM CHRIS
"Escape From New Jersey" is my second attempt at making a Snake Plissken fan film. My previous version "Escape Big Trouble in New Jersey", which teamed Snake up with Jack Burton (another role played by Kurt Russell). Unfortunately the fan film was a disaster and I openly still admit to this day it's the worst thing I ever made. I think in part by the sizable egos that I teamed up with when making it. It was just one of those experiences that looked better on paper and the end result was not something I was ever totally pleased with.
But enough dwelling on the past. After five years, I finally decided to take another crack at good ol' Snake and give him the fan film he deserved. Instep Hector De La Rosa, quite possibly the biggest Snake Plissken fan- EVER! This guy not only loves the character, he has actually transformed himself into Snake. Paying attention to every notable detail, Hector has managed to recreate virtually every memorable "Escape" prop from Snake's attire. This includes a life size replica of both of his guns, his wrist locator and homing device. And I haven't even gotten to the actual costume yet. Needless to say, Hector has dedicated his life to embodying his favorite character, right down to 5 o'clock shadow.
I truly believe it was this amount of dedication to the character that inspired me to want to have a second go at a Snake movie. Once Hector and I joined forces, the script sort of wrote itself. I tried to stay within the guidelines set by the first two movies as well as the mini-comic series. My goal was to just make a sensible story that would answer that old question "what the hell did he do after he escaped New York?"
All in all it was a LONG and tedious experience, but in the end it was truly worth it. I think I finally made something that would please any "Escape" fan. The story is logical, the character development is understandable and it has that classic Carpenter feel but with a hint of my own style as well.
