As if this wasn’t enough of a joyful event on that news alone, The Running Man will see Edgar Wright reunite with Scott Pilgrim vs. The World writer Michael Bacall, who will co-write the story and draft the script.
This new version is not going to reimagine that delightful, but off target adapting of the original text.
However if you’re a fan of the original 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film, we’ve got some bad news for you.
In a fit of genius and madness reported by Deadline, Edgar Wright has been drafted to co-write the story to, as well as direct, a more faithful adaptation of the 1982 novel, which was published under Stephen King’s infamous Richard Bachman pseudonym.
