Arnold Schwarzenegger Excited About Edgar Wright's New 'The Running Man'
Arnold Schwarzenegger is thrilled about Edgar Wright’s upcoming remake of The Running Man. The project promises to bring a darker, more faithful adaptation of Stephen King’s dystopian novel to life.
Actor Glen Powell, who stars in the new version, shared details about Schwarzenegger’s enthusiasm for revisiting the story. According to Powell, the legendary star has a deep attachment to this film and often talks about wanting another shot at it done the right way.
“The Running Man is the one and only movie I’d want to jump back into,”
Powell revealed that the original 1987 production faced its share of challenges, including limited resources and frequent changes in direction. Despite its cult following, the film diverged heavily from King’s original vision, turning the protagonist into a more conventional action hero rather than the grim, desperate figure of the book.
Now, with Wright at the helm, both Powell and Schwarzenegger believe the remake can finally honor King’s darker tone and deliver a more authentic version of the story.
Author’s Summary
Schwarzenegger celebrates Edgar Wright’s remake of The Running Man, hoping it will finally capture Stephen King’s harsh dystopian spirit more faithfully than the 1987 film.
