Ugh. Running man was a terrible adaptation of a great Stephen King novel. Scratch the original movie, and let it die, imo.

They should make a faithful adaptation instead. It would make for a terrific tale to watch unfold on the big screen.

Oh, and no Arnold this time around. Bring someone with a normal shape, not mister Universe, heh.

 

[GoldGoblin]

In the book the main guy was not a big steroid freak,he was a skinny guy.

 

[TheSaintofKillers]

The 80's will be remembered as the only decade where heroes were big muscle steroid/wrestler guys.

Such a laughable concept.

 

[guitarsingerguy]

I never knew this was a King book. Wow.

 

[TheSaintofKillers]

Shows how little respect the movie had.

Shows how little respect the movie had.

Yeah, but I'm a sucker for bad one liners.

I'm mixed when it comes to Running Man.

As a King fan, I hate the fact they messed up the concept of the orginal novel...but as an Arnie fan, it's so awesome.

I'm so confused.

WWE are suppose to be doing a movie with Austin in the lead role, called The Condemned which has a similar plot to The Running Man where Austin would play a cop on death row in a future society and is given the chance for freedom if he takes part in a reality show where he has to escape from some people trying to kill him.

I read that Christopher Reeve orginally turned down the role of Ben Richards, might of been a whole different movie.

If I recall correctly, the book ended with Ben Richards

Spoiler

crashing an airplane into the network's skyscraper headquarters.

I doubt they'd attempt this.
