Summit Entertainment has moved the release date for Escape Plan (formerly The Tomb) to September 13th, two weeks earlier than its original date of 9/27/13. Although we're very happy to have this long-awaited film bumped up, many fans are in an uproar like rioting prisoners over the termination of the original beloved title. We too might have liked The Tomb a tad bit more but we're accepting of the tile. It's fine. I can understand why the studio wanted it changed. The Tomb, although more intriguing, didn't really tell audiences what the film was about and might only attract just Arnold and Sly fans. Whereas EVERYONE loves a good prison escape movie and "Escape Plan" may appeal to a bigger audience. A wider demographic (not just action fans) can make for a bigger box office.
What's in a name, right? The bottom line is we're getting this film sooner than we thought. That's the only REAL news here. And this news is GOOD!
