Edgar Wright Adapting Stephen King’s ‘The Running Man’

The Stephen King adaptations just keep coming, not that we’re complaining. The newest adaptation on its way is The Running Man, which will be developed and directed by Last Night in Soho‘s Edgar Wright for Paramount. Michael Becall (Inglorious Bastards, 21 Jump Street) will be writing the script, which will more closely follow King’s book than the 1987 adaptation that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger did. The 1982 book, published under King’s pseudonym, Richard Bachman, follows protagonist Ben Richards as he participates in the game show “The Running Man” that features contestants being chased by “Hunters” out to kill them. Simon Kinberg, Audrey Chon, and Nira Park are producing the feature. Here’s a look back at the trailer for The Running Man (1987).

Review: Wrong Turn (2021) Is A Bloody Good Movie

Every time I hear the words remake or reboot I cringe. In fact, I usually avoid them altogether, but after watching the new Wrong Turn movie that may be changing. It’s proof that they can be better than the original. The trailer piqued my interest so I decided what the hell, I’ll give it a shot, and boy am I glad I did. In the film, while hiking the Appalachian Trail, a group of friends begins stumbling into traps. Believing that someone is out to kill them, one of the group kills a hunter, setting off a disturbing chain of events. The Wrong Turn franchise is known for its brutal kills from both the inbred hillbilly family and their nasty traps. In Mike P. Nelson’s new version we get the traps that we’ve come to expect and the kills are still brutal, but it’s a very different movie than the original. While the 2003 original has its own unique charm,

David Gordon Green’s ‘The Exorcist’ Will NOT Be A Reboot

David Gordon Green, the brilliant director behind the new Halloween trilogy, is co-writing and directing the upcoming movie The Exorcist for Morgan Creek and Blumhouse. While some sites are reporting that it is a reboot, according to our sources, the new movie is in fact a SEQUEL! While the title and plot are still being kept quiet, we do know that the movie will be set years after the events of the 1973 original, in the same way as Green’s Halloween (2018) was for that franchise. Mike Sprague is set to pen the script. We also know that William Friedkin will sadly not be involved in the sequel. Horror heavy-hitter Jason Blum will be producing alongside David Robinson and James Robinson. Blumhouse, who was behind Halloween, continues to dominate the horror genre. Green’s Halloween was a huge hit, grossing a massive $255 million worldwide and claiming the title of the second-highest opening at the box offices in the horror genre
