Schwarzenegger classic -“Shout it from the highest steeple, let it out to all the people”!- “The Running Man” is getting a do-over courtesy of Cornetto Trilogy helmer Edgar Wright at Paramount.
Wright has teamed with “X-Men” alum Simon Kinberg to develop a second film adaptation of Stephen King’s (as Richard Bachman) futuristic novel. This will apparently be more closer in tone to the book than the 1987 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Richard Dawson.
Wright will co-write the story with Michael Bacall, who will also pen the script.
Kinberg produces via his Genre Films banner, alongside Nira Park from Wright’s Complete Fiction banner, and Genre Films’ Audrey Chon.
