A new Edgar Wright-directed film based on the Stephen King novella is in the works.
Arnold Schwarzenegger ’s 1987 action film The Running Man is based on a 1982 Stephen King story, but only loosely. The names are the same and the idea of a reality show where people are hunted and killed is there, but the film version is widely different beyond that. The upcoming remake, from director Edgar Wright and star Glen Powell , won’t be. “I’ve been an Edgar Wright fan my whole life,” Powell told USA Today.
It’s a good way to make the two films distinct, too, with one being a straight reality show and the other more of a worldwide manhunt. And while the King inspiration level may be different, another element probably won’t be. You can almost guarantee Wright’s film will also have his star hunted by deadly assassins.
