This kicks a lot of ass
This kicks a lot of ass
Are we really getting the book ending?? Amazing
I had the same reaction, but we'll see
It looks like it but god damn, there's no way 😳
Right? We are NOT ready for that!
As soon as I saw the plane I thought 'no way!'
Congratulations on your first documentary!
I hope the hockey duel in the ice arena just didn't make the trailer.
THANK you! I've been saying for 20 years that the one movie from the 80s that should be remade is The Running Man. The book is way more subversive than the Schwarzenegger cartoon. Belongs on the dystopian shelf next to Fahrenheit 451
This trailer got me insanely hyped, it looks incredible! You’re always bringing the “Wright” style & it looks like you blew the roof off with this one. Can’t wait!
Oh hell yes.
Fans of Stephen King and the book should check out the very similar 'The Prize of Peril'; a science fiction short story by Robert Sheckley first published in 1958 and adapted in 1970 as a West German television film Das Millionenspiel... www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5sZ...
Also adapted as a French / Yugoslav co-production in 1983 called 'Le Prix du Danger' (The Prize of Peril).
Well. That's a hell of a trailer, and I'm definitely intrigued. I'm usually pretty negative on remakes, but this one looks like enough of a departure from the original (and closer to the very-different novella) that I'm interested.
Exactly
Also, why is Glen Powell being used so much when he’s so milquetoast.
Seriously. You left AntMan because they wanted specifics in the movie that tied it into the Marvel universe, but you’re willing to remake an Arnie classic?! Seriously, what the fuck? Why would you take this job?!
Hells to the yes.
We can't wait!
Looks GREAT! Any chance you'll have a panel for this at SD Comic-Con in a few weeks?!
SQUEEEE!
Looks even better than I thought it would
If a trailer starts with a scene from the middle of the trailer... Skip*
Looks like you’ve nailed it Edgar, so glad to see it looks like the book ending’s in there too 🫶
Cooking with gas! Really looking forward to this.
Another remake. No new stories in Hollywood. I saw this in the 80’s.
this appears to be a better adaptation of the original book. So not really a remake.
I'm sure this will be great, but don't split hairs.
Would you consider the LOTR films a remake of the animated films? Or Carpenters The Thing vs The Thing from another World? That like TRM was a new adaptation of the original book.
As Ellie has pointed out, this is not hair splitting. It being an adaptation from the original source should be celebrated over a direct remake. Just claiming it is a remake and automatically hating on it should be shunned.
I disagree. It is truly hair splitting, an excuse to rehash content.
So when a stage play does another version of Hamlet....just another rehash of content? Don't get me wrong, hollywood is terrible at supporting new content, but this is not that.
This is one of the most talented film makers of our time going back to the original source and saying "this deserves a better telling than what we had" But there is something you can do: don't go see it and kindly shut the fuck up with your ignorance.
You show signs of an addiction. Truly a mediaphile who can’t quite get that fix.
Thats your best shot?
I heard there was a new adaptation of Citizen Kane. Maybe you can get onboard. Should be huge.
1. That would be a remake and not an adaptation. Citizen Kane is an original work not based off of a book. 2. Something like this is where we would agree. Some movies when made are perfect and need not be touched again. Original movies (and not adaptations) especially so should not be remade.
We’re just people who love film and the art of it, and I would hope that if you have a passion that you are learned in, that no one ridicules you when you make a cogent point. If you think this is an addiction, never go on Letterboxd. You’d be horrified to see how many of us there are.
Well, they’re right. They’re 2 different adaptations, and this one looks to be hewing closer to the source material. Same as the 2004 Pride and Prejudice isn’t a remake of the miniseries.
Kewl
Another remake. Just what we need.
Finally a film that follows the book not like the crap storyline from the 80's effort. I always thought the book story would be a great film. Looking forward to it.
It could have been worse.
looks like fun, and knowing how far the original strayed from the book I look forward to it being a whole new experience rather than a remake.
Arnold and Richard will be a tough act to follow, but I will definitely be in the theater to see this!
You can’t replace Arnold with that actor. It’s going to be a bust.
Yes, please.
Looks pretty good, Edgar.
Looking forward to it. @wiseacre.me has always been a HUGE fan of your work.
Will the movie include the part where he trips on his own intestines?
Looks amazing!
The feels like it might end up being a documentary one day. I can totally see Trump’s team doing something like this.
Kristi Noem already pitched a reality show where undocumented people compete for citizenship.
Ugghh, of course she has. She seems in hog heaven down at Alligator Alcatraz today.
YEEEEEESSSSSS—!
Dude I’m so excited for this!
I am going to watch this movie 100 times.
I’m a big fan of the original, I can’t wait to watch this one. Looks good!
Looks good, bud!
Documentary? New direction for you…
Does @scottaukerman.bsky.social have you scheduled in for the @cbbworld.bsky.social bump?
I didn't know this film was yours! It now has my full attention. Good to have you back!
Hot damn and thank you.
It looks good, very entertaining vibe. But again a trailer that shows so much. And someone has to stop these "Trailer starts now" bits at the start. YES, that's why we're here. I understand it's a hook when it's playing at a random site or in a theater. But not needed on social media/YouTube.
Nice. Looking forward to this. 😎
I'm sold!!!
So glad you're going back to the source material! The original is fun and all, but the actual story in the book has become ridiculously relevant as reality TV has taken over everything.
Absolutely loved the book. Cannot wait for this. Wright never misses!
This is all a bit too on the nose. We're about one Trump brain fart away from this now. I'd like to see Ben Richards run so far that he ends up in Panem and has to escape from Katniss Everdeen trying to shoot him with arrows.
Can’t wait!
Rhythm perfect trailer. Great cast and Direction!! Can't wait.
Looks good my dude
🏃♂️
I can't wait to see it but Im going to be a little disappointed when there isn't a fat opera singer in a plastic mohawk helmet who shoots electricity
Yuck. The original is terrific. This looks like hot garbage. Won’t waste my money on it.
You seem fun
More fun than that shitty looking film.
k
this looks like a documentary of USian life
When does the soundtrack come out?
Definitely looks closer to the original book.
Will we all be here in November? Asking for a country.
I hope Katy O'Brian is in the new The Running Man longer than its trailer implies.
i'll definitely be one of those watching
oo! oo! do Smash TV next! great trailer :)
That opening shot took me back immediately to the book. And did I also glimpse an apartment haunted by the ghost of long departed cabbage?
Oh. My. God.
LOOKS INSANE! But I'm dying to know, who's scoring this?!
okay-the trailer hooked me!
CAN'T WAIT! This looks absolutely sick
slop
Can't wait!!!!
This looks like great and pointed fun.
Ooh. Not usually a fan of remakes, but I am a fan of Edgar Wright, so ... I'm interested ...
I get the impression that this is not a remake of the movie, but is based on the book instead. The movie was so much different than the book that I would expect this will have little in common with the Schwarzenegger version.
Interesting.
Was @stephenking.bsky.social involved in the screenplay at all?
So excited!
This feels like a preview of what’s to come in the United States.
I loves me a great documentary.
Bro this shit looks fucking awful. Is it Russian made?
sorry about your brain damage
Naw, that would be the financiers that continue to hire this clown to direct.
I bet you have opinions on the age of consent
Can’t wait!
You're the guy for this. Go get 'em.
What will the age rating be?
This trailer is 🔥
looks like an Edgar Wright joint... Oh... ok...
I thought the original was the worst dystopia back then, it’s gonna be way worse today, and I mean that in a good way. Psyched for the Edgar Wright take!
Arnie cameo? I got money on it. 💵
the real question tho what are some of the tracks on the soundtrack ? :)
Looks great. Hope we’re all still alive
Kabooooooooom!
Ahem…
Good catch! I wonder is this is sequel of sorts and Arnie's character is still a part of this world.
President of the United States? Would be a nice callback to Demolition Man. 😁
Demolition Man still one of my favs. Had a 2 sided DVD with Over the Top. It's better than the Mona Lisa
You get the fantastic 4K or Blu-ray set from @arrowvideo.bsky.social ?
That's a thing?
Saw the trailer before Jurassic Park. Not familiar with the original but this one looks fun!
Yes please!
so, it is a remake of the Schwarzenegger Movie? I was hoping this time it would be closer to the source Material. The Story would have been a perfect fit for the current times
That’s more like it Mr Wayne
That looks like a good brain off to watch movie. (The original book story is set in a dystopian 2025 in America... oh; oh shit; fuck!)
Through most of the trailer I was thinking that this looked pretty faithful to the book, but you probably had to change the ending… but there’s one part in there that suggests you might just be enough of a madman to have actually done it.
Awww man, the Bachman/King original storyline? I loved the original movie but then reading the book it's a totally different tale. Very, very keen to see this one :-)
Looks awfully good, sir!
Hell yeah dude!
oh thank god you came here too. Please never bother with twitter ever again.
I've been waiting 40 years for this to be made, so it'd better be good. No pressure! P.s. Can you do his others tory in that quartet, The Walk. Pretty please x
You mean this one? Coming up www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAtU...
Ooh, exciting. Thanks
Fuck. Yeah.
I know people will compare this to the Arnold movie. That movie was great. There will be no comparing the two. I'm happy this one is staying closer to the book and is about a desperate father fighting for his family.
The song from the trailer is a remix of Underdog by The Dirtbombs right? Love that song!
What if the third act of Hot Fuzz was one entire expensive movie.
I'd buy THAT for a dollar!
Cool af x
FUCK YESSSSSSS!
Oh fuck yeah, that looks awesome!
this will be a lovely break from the constant dystopia of our real lives
This is going to confuse a lot of people who never read the book and only saw the Schwarzenegger adaptation. I loved the book, and this looks pretty faithful
It looks very good, Edgar! Love that Colman Domingo!! 👍
Promising. Looks like it runs closer to the excellent source short story rather than the pantomime of the Schwarzenegger film.
The movies have missed ya!
