Overview
- Arnold Schwarzenegger called The Running Man the only film of his he hoped to see remade and said Wright’s version “upped it,” praising its inventive action.
- Stephen King approved the screenplay and later praised the finished film, and Glen Powell’s casting was confirmed after King watched Hit Man and “loved it.”
- Edgar Wright says his take is more faithful to King’s novella than the 1987 movie while altering the book’s finale in a way that keeps its spirit.
- Paramount released a new featurette as the rollout continues, with the film opening November 12 in the UK and November 14 in the US.
- Recent coverage notes Easter eggs such as Schwarzenegger’s face on in‑world $100 bills and a brief Derry Town Hall appearance, alongside a reported $110 million budget and Box Office Theory’s projected $19–$28 million domestic debut.
