"The Running Man" trailer released.
Admittedly, I've never seen the original with Schwarzenegger. It was released several years before I was born, but that doesn't matter.
I'll watch literally anything Josh Brolin is in. The man is an outstanding actor. Throw in Glen Powell, and it's hard not to be sold.
The trailer is also wacky, weird and full of energy. Give it a watch below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
What do we all think about the trailer? I think it looks like a ton of fun. The plot, while a remake, is being introduced to a new generation nearly 40 years after the original came out.
A guy going on the run and being chased by people intent on killing him for a game is something that definitely sparks my interest.
It reminds me of the famous story "The Most Dangerous Game" ever played. If you're not familiar with the story, it's a similar concept written by Richard Connell, it's about a guy who hunts people on an island.
We read it in school, and it was one of the few stories I read in school that was mandatory I actually enjoyed. This has a very similar vibe, which makes me think it will be pretty enjoyable.
Plus, how am I going to say no to Glen Powell and Josh Brolin teaming up?
