What is your favorite science fiction film remake?

Paramount Pictures has dropped the first teaser for The Running Man, Edgar Wright’s bold new adaptation of Stephen King’s dystopian short story. Departing from the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi action flick, this version stays truer to King’s original vision.

Set in a grim near-future, the film follows Ben Richards (Glen Powell), a desperate father who enters a deadly reality show to save his sick daughter. Each day survived means more money—if he can evade the show’s lethal Hunters.

Josh Brolin stars as the manipulative producer, with Colman Domingo hosting the blood-soaked spectacle. The cast also includes Michael Cera, Lee Pace, and Emilia Jones.

Wright’s adaptation promises a darker, sharper critique of media obsession and class struggle. The Running Man hits theaters November 7th. Comment below with your thoughts.
