The Running Man (2025)

[Parliament 14270]

Might not suck?  Has Surly man crush Glen Powell reprising Ben Richard.  Josh Brolin gets to be an ahole too.  He's real good at that.

Glen Powell looks to have found his adversary in the reimagining of The Running Man at Paramount Pictures. Josh Brolin is in final negotiations to land the villain role in the pic being directed by Edgar Wright and based on the novel by Stephen King that the author published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman.

While the details of Brolin’s role are unknown, sources say he will play the antagonist behind the violent reality show.

I hope unlike the last movie, this one would stick closer to the novel.

The last one was NOTHING like the book.

Ok, but it was still a decent flick.

It probably won't have snappy one liners from Glen Powell.

It would work.  But I’m thinking Tom Cruise (doing his Harvey Weinstein impression) for this.

Steve Harvey is too goofy to be an evil corporate overlord personality.

Alex Trebeck would have killed it.

Agreed. Maybe Ryan Seacrest can do it

[TexasHooch 5122]

He does every other damn thing.  Why not?

I'm really interested how straight they play this.  The last was very tongue-in-cheek.

[TexasHooch 5122]

Decent credits between the two screenwriters.  The director directed most of these as well.   It's going to be quirky.

 

2004: Shaun of the Dead

2007: Hot Fuzz

2010: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (the two screenwriters collaborated on this one)

2011: The Adventures of Tintin
