“Top Gun: Maverick” breakout and rising star Glen Powell is set to lead a new adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Running Man” for Paramount Pictures, TheWrap has exclusively learned.
Edgar Wright is set to direct. Wright and his “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” collaborator Michael Bacall will co-write the story, and Bacall will write the script.
King’s futuristic novel is a chase thriller set in a dystopian America in the year 2025. The story centers on Ben Richards, a desperate man who participates in violent reality show “The Running Man” in order to win enough money to revive his gravely ill daughter. The show follows Richards being chaseded by numerous hunters, sent to kill him.
King first published the “The Running Man” under his pseudonym Richard Bachman in 1982. In 1987, the book was adapted into a movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and directed by Paul Michael Glaser.

I mean, I’ve liked Glen Powell in everything I’ve seen him in.
Just saw Anyone But You and he certainly helped make that movie more watchable

I can't wait to see who will star in the remake of Edgar Wright's remake.

Any competent action lead could probably handle the lead on this one.
The key will be the villain. Richard Dawson was the perfect choice last time. I can't think of anyone who would be a great fit off the top of my head.
Rockwell, maybe?

Fell in love with his acting in the first season of Scream Queens. He and Emma Roberts were both hilarious in that show.

I just wanna know....
More like the Backman book, or more like the movie??
For non-book readers, the book is more Richards is on the run across the country with everyone watching the show and looking for him to turn as part of the show.
Reality TV from back in the early 80s...
Then give me the other game from Bachman books....The Long Walk.

I doubt they try to recreate the campy '80s version that seemed to be partly based on American Gladiators.

That honestly would really be perfect I think. Either that or just have him play Benny from Total Recall. "Man, I got 5 kids to feed!"
