TSJ Revisits John Carpenter’s Escape from New York, Part 2 of 2

I’m writing about Escape from New York this week on my blog, Life After Gateway. This is Part 2 of 2 (find Part 1, here).  Today we’ll look at some of the personalities who emerged from the making of this movie:  Kurt Russell, Dean Cundey, and James Cameron.

This film was a watershed moment in their careers.  For Kurt Russell, it marked his transition from childhood roles. For Dean Cundey, it was his continuing rise through the ranks in cinematography; a career which really began with the massive success of Halloween. And for James Cameron, it was his work on the effects that helped make him a notable figure in the industry. On this movie, he was known as the ‘resident genius,’ and his work made heads turn.

You’ll learn more about these three in this article.
