Glen Powell Stars in the ‘The Running Man’ remake, which is based on the Stephen King Novel.
That was back in 2014, so a lot of time has passed since then. Would Schwarzenegger be receptive to Powell and Wright Remaking The Running Man? They didnt need his permission, of course, but it was still nice of them to touch base with the star over facetime to discuss things. The results, powell said, were more than worth it.
Arnold gave us his full blessing and we get to give arnold a very specific fun gift from the movie in a couple of weeks here. So I’m very excited to see him.
Edgar Wright Calls ‘The Running Man’ A “Road Movie”
To highlight the differentices between the 1987 film and Wright’s version, one only has to look at their settings. Schwarzenegger’s Movie was confined to an abandoned part of Los Angeles that was divided into four quadrants, while Wright’s movie will mimic King’s original vision, which gave richards the ability to go anywhere in the world to evade the hunters out to kill Him. “One of the things about the book that I loved was the fact that ben richards is out in the world on his own, so it’s like the deadliest game of Hide-and-Seek,” Wright Told Empire earlier this month.
“It does feel like making a road movie in a lot of ways: a very intense, dangerous road movie. Ben is moving through different environments and meeting different people as he tries to survive 30 days out in the wild.”
Principal Photography on The Running Man Wrapped last week, so now the movie will head into post-product so all the bells and whistles can be added to it before the November release. In addition to Powell, Look for Josh Brolin, Michael Cera, William H. Macy, Lee Pace, and Katy O’Brian to round out the ensemble cast. If you are in the mood to check out Schwarzenegger’s Original before then, it’s available to stream now on paramount+.
