Rewind: John Carpenter reveals big name actor who wanted to play "Snake" in "Escape from NY" & more

This is my interview with John Carpenter in 1996 for the release of "Escape From L.A." We talked about the push-back on casting Kurt Russell for the first film and the big-name actor who wanted that part. We also discussed the eyepatch problem and his feelings about test screenings.

Escape from N.Y. & L.A. are Great Movies to See at Night Time.
