The universe wants me to wait for my most anticipated movie of 2025. Okay, fine. I shall survive a one week delay but it does mean that Edgar Wright’s The Running Man no longer comes out the day before my birthday. Upsetting.
The Stephen King novel, which was previously adapted into a film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger back in 1987, was originally published under the name “Richard Bachman.” King was testing to see if he was talented and successful on his own merit or if his name helped with his sales. Luckily, the Bachman stories are some of King’s most interesting pieces of work. Like The Running Man.
