-Other appearances- Snake Plissken also appeared in John Carpenter's Snake Plissken Chronicles, a four-part comic book miniseries that was released in 2003. In the early 2000s, John Carpenter, Kurt Russell, and Debra Hill developed a proposed Snake Plissken television series that was ultimately turned down by all the major networks for being "too dark and bleak." It is believed that the concept of the series was what was used for the Snake Plissken Chronicles comic series. Along with the comic book, other Snake Plissken Chronicles projects were announced. A Namco-produced video game was announced,but was later cancelled. Production I.G. was also set to create an anime film based on the property, reportedly based on the Escape From Earth concept John Carpenter and Kurt Russell had conceived, but this also never materialized. Carpenter and Russell would have executive produced, and Russell would have provided the voice and likeness of Snake.
Snake was sentenced to life in New York maximum security prison, the entire island of Manhattan, surrounded by an impenetrable wall and left in an anarchic state. At this time, Air Force One was hijacked and crashed into Manhattan, and the President, played by Donald Pleasance, was captured by the Duke of New York (Isaac Hayes), the de facto leader of the prison. Robert Hauk (Lee Van Cleef) offered Snake a full pardon for every criminal action he committed if he would go in and rescue the President within 24 hours. Plissken succeeded with the help of Harold Hellman (Harry Dean Stanton) (now known as Brain, and working for the Duke of New York), Brain's "squeeze" Maggie (Adrienne Barbeau), and a taxicab driver nicknamed Cabby (Ernest Borgnine). Only Plissken and the President survived in their escape.
Taking place 15 years after Escape from New York, Los Angeles is devastated by a catastrophic earthquake and becomes an island and shortly there after the deportation for those who are morally unfit and unwelcome in the new America. Snake finds himself having been arrested and being deported to the island when we find that the President's daughter has fled to the island and has handed over a ecret prototype weapon to terrorist, Cuervo Jones. Snake is poisoned with a deadly virus and must retrieve the device in LA.
