While we have yet to see Edgar Wright's COVID-delayed genre film Last Night in Soho, the fan-favorite filmmaker has lined up his next project. Wright will team with Paramount Pictures and producers Simon Kinberg and Audrey Chon through Genre Films, with Nira Park from Wright's Complete Fiction studio, for an updated take on Stephen King's novel THE RUNNING MAN.

Previously filmed in 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead role, this new film will not be a remake but a more faithful adaptation of King's book written under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman.

Wright is very picky when it comes to the projects he works on, often electing to create original material. His most notable adaptation was Scott Pilgrim vs The World based on the comic book of the same name. While a cult favorite, that movie did not fare well during its box office run. What makes The Running Man so interesting is that Wright himself in 2017 named it as the dream project he would select if he was able to remake any film.

Bei Edgar Wright will ich nichts sagen...das könnte tatsächlich was werden, zumal das Original nicht mehr ganz so taufrisch wirken dürfte ;)
