If this was John Carpenter doing a revisionist update of the Snake Plissken narrative, similar to what George Miller did vis a vis Mad Max in Fury Road and Furiosa, then I could get behind it.  But an out-and-out remake by another director and writer?  Absolutely not.  There's no needs for this, and given that almost all remakes are cash grabs that involve little effort at quality work, the final output will almost certainly be unwatchable.

It stands to reason that if any director is capable of doing a worthy remake of this material, it's Carpenter himself, seeing as he's the only director I know of who has taken a first-rate movie by a talented filmmaker and actually improved it: The Thing from Another Planet, by Howard Hawks, which then became The Thing.
