Late last week, Deadline announced that Grindhouse and From Dusk Till Dawn director Robert Rodriguez will direct a remake of John Carpenter’s 1981 film Escape from New York. It’s being written by Luther’s Neil Cross, with Carpenter serving as executive producer. According to Deadline, “the hope is to reinvent the property with an eye toward launching a Planet Of The Apes-like franchise.”

If the reboot follows the conventions established by Carpenter’s 1996 sequel Escape from LA, there’s a very specific setup here: one guy has to systematically infiltrate every city in the United States, which has somehow turned into a huge patchwork of uniquely dystopian hellscapes, in order to rescue either the president or a member of the president’s family. Technically, though, an Escape from New York series would only have one rule, which is that people need to keep escaping from things. In that spirit, we’ve put together a helpful 30-year transmedia roadmap for the franchise.
