Jeremy Renner: ‘No truth to Escape rumours’

Jeremy Renner
Jeremy Renner has denied rumours claiming that he is in talks to star in the Escape From New York remake.

Several outlets reported earlier this month that the Hurt Locker star was close to landing the lead role of Snake Plissken in the project.

However, speaking to MTV, Renner said that there is “no truth” to the rumours.

“Someone told me about it and then I saw it online. I was like, ‘That’s news to me as well.’ I didn’t know anything about it,” the Oscar nominee explained.

Renner is starring with Tom Cruise in the upcoming Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.
