but this isn’t a simple remake. Director Edgar Wright (Baby Driver, Shaun of the Dead) is steering the project closer to the source material – king’s 1982 novel originally published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman.

Powell,fresh off the blockbuster success of Top Gun: Maverick,appears to be embracing the physicality and intensity required for the role. The featurette hints at a relentless pace and a darkly comedic tone, suggesting a Running Man for a new generation.
