Today's story, now associated with Stephen King, was originally released under his pseudonym, Richard Bachman, known for darker tales. With Edgar Wright set to create a new, more faithful adaptation, it’s timely to discuss this dystopian horror. Though a staple in Arnold Schwarzenegger's action-packed filmography from 1987 to 1991, it's not typically seen as a prime Stephen King adaptation. While not strictly horror, both the book and film present horrific scenarios. It's an entertaining watch with notable front and behind-the-camera efforts. But how does it compare to the source material, and what does King think of it? Place your bets as we explore this adaptation!

I’ve echoed the same sentiment about Paul V directing “The Running Man” for years. I love this version, but I think Paul would’ve really played to the propaganda of the time, added some gruesome deaths, and I love his commercial interludes.

Casting Dawson was a genius move. I mean not only did everyone at the time know him as one of the premier game show hosts but all that experience from years of doing that job allowed him to have that game show host charisma to give life to that role. I remember reading the book after watching the movie, mind you I was 10-12yo at the time. I remember how much darker and different it was but I liked that for some reason. I think the pace of the book helped me keep turning the pages.

In Arnold's autobiography, 'Total Recal', he says one week into shooting, the original director was fired. The producers waited until Arnie was away to do it, and replaced him with a cheaper option. Paul Michael Glasser had only worked in television, and was given no time to prepare or have a vision, so he shot it like a TV show.

I read Stephen KIng's book first, and was blown away by it. I couldn't wait to see what the film did with that amazing story. I wish I'd known they basically threw out the entire plot and made a new one to suit Schwarzenegger's persona, because I think if I'd known that I would have enjoyed the movie more the first time. As it was, I got something completely different from what I was expecting, and at first, I really didn't like it. A couple years later, I re-visited the film, and realized it was actually pretty damn good. It just wasn't the story that Stephen King wrote. I would still love to see someone do a faithful adaptation some day (and yes, I would love to see them have the guts to keep the original ending; especially in a post-nine-eleven world).

Having watched the film in the 80s I then went on to read the book and I thought the book was so dark, all the time rooting for Ben Richards to get the money for his family. Having made a martyr out of Ben made more sense to me as that would inspire people more. I have not watched the movie again since.

I feel you have to look at "The Running Man" the same way as "The Shining." Both movies are good on their own, but they are very unfaithful to the books they were based on. I liked Arnold's "The Running Man," but I'm excited for Edgar Wright's version. Here's to hoping it's more accurate to the book.

99% of the time when it comes to movie adaptations I side with the book, even if I loved the movie reading the book blows me away and I can never go back to the movie, but this is a unique situation in that the movie is so different from the book that it's basically an entirely different story so even after reading the book I can still enjoy the movie. Hopefully the remake will lean heavily towards the book than the movie, this will probably be the rare case where a remake doesn't ruin the original, but I also think that the only way for it to have a chance at the box office is for the truth to get out into the open hard that The Running Man is based on a book and that the 80's version was vastly different from it.

It’s a fun movie. Read the book as a teenager and it had very little connection to the film. Interesting as the chapters formed a countdown. Pretty brief story as well, think I read in a couple of hours.

I love the movie, I saw it when it released on VHS. Because I explore lore and media in general, I have looked into the book but never actually read it. I follow several content creators who cover TV and movies and the subject of episodic television has come up. We have the upcoming Aliens and Halloween series' Commenters and creators have discussed what Underworld or Jurassic Park might look like. Though you said it was shorter than the average King Novel, would this have the potential to be expanded into a series if it followed the original more closely?

I've always imagined Bill Duke being ideal for playing book Killian, if they have made the movie close to the novel in the 80's.

I read the book many years ago when I too found out it was actually a Stephen King novel. Somehow I can't see any movie remake using the original ending of the book, I think that imagery would still be a bit too raw for many, and understandably so.

I’m positive Climbing for Dollars will feature in the Edgar Wright version.

I just want to play the Running Man Home Edition game. That and the one from RoboCop, Nuke Em. Get them before they get you 🤯

It's a bit more wacky, and old school now, but Smash TV was the Running Man game for Genesis and Nintendo.

I really like the book. I knew King wrote it. I did not know he wrote it under a pseudonym.

I was surprised that i liked Carrie better than all his later work. I only read it recently and really thought it was excellent Always known the running man was one of the Bachman books but never read it. Time to find the audiobook.

I read the book long before seeing the movie, so when I watched the movie I was kinda disappointed and annoyed because it's nothing like the book. I enjoy it for how campy it is but it doesn't come close to capturing the darkness of the book.

There’s a 0% chance the new version ends the same way as the book. 🛩️🏢💥

I would seriously doubt the remake would have a plane crashing into a building. Call it a hunch.

I wish that this movie was made like kings story was done because I think that it would have been better. The story King did was great and would have been amazing on the screen as is.

After 9/11, I think it would be difficult to make a faithful adaptation of The Running Man.
