Escape From New York

Writers' strike leaves a deadly trail in its wake: Last winter's work stoppage had much more dire consequences for the TV industry, but it still was felt on the big screen. A number of scheduled productions, such as "Justice League," the remake of "Escape From New York," and ... moreOliver Stone's "Pinkville," never survived the layoff. Less important was the dramatic effect it had on awards season. The Golden Globes became a press conference at the last minute (disaster), and there were concerns through most of February over whether the Academy Awards would even go on as scheduled. Happily, that won't be the case this year. (AP)
