    “The Running Man” Reboot at Paramount Nabs Edgar Wright as Director

    Just when we thought there couldn’t possibly be more Stephen King adaptations in the ziegist, a new one comes along. In this instance, it’s Paramount Pictures rebooting “The Running Man,” with Edgar Wright set to direct.

    “But it wasn’t written by Steven King!,” you might say. Ho-ho, you’d be wrong.  The novel was published in 1982 by author Richard Bachman, one of King’s pseudonyms. It was adapted into a feature film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1987, but this new version won’t be a reboot of that.

    According to the usual suspects, Wright will be co-writing the script with Michael Bacall, and it will more closely follow the source material.

    Genre Films’ Simon Kinberg and Audrey Chon will produce, as well as Nira Park for Wright’s Complete Fiction.

    No word on possible casting yet, but we’ll let you know what else we hear.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
