About
Director Edgar Wright has remade The Running Man! The Richard Bachman (Stephen King) 1982 novel was set in a dystopian United States during the year 2025, so I guess this is the year to remake it. We talk about the superior adaptation from 1987 starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Then we get into the new one starring Glen Powell.
The cast of the new Running Man also features William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones, Daniel Ezra, Jayme Lawson, Sean Hayes, Colman Domingo, and Josh Brolin. Glen Powell stars as Ben Richards who goes on a dangerous network TV reality show to try to survive 30 days and possibly win $1 billion dollars.
Now we live in a world where the mass media is in heavy decline and The Running Man seems like a satire of network television that is way outdated. And that's just one of the many criticisms we'll throw at this latest rendition of The Running Man!
