The Running (Hang)man?

I'm interested in seeing what they do. I've heard the book was different and that's the direction they are going with this one. I really like Glen Powell so we'll see.
 
Maybe I am alone on this one, but I'm not only not excited, but really sad that Edgar Wright decided to give in and do a remake of anything. I don't care if they're "trying to remain closer to the book". The cultural memory of The Running Man is the movie we all know, so if you think they're gonna totally stray from referencing the original you're dead wrong. Why else remake this in today's movie climate? That was the same line for the awful Total Recall remake. For a guy who used to champion his original films and who refused to remake other classics (John Landis personally asked Wright to remake American Werewolf) it is kind of a bummer to see he's doing this project. Glenn Powell is the most bland leading man we've had for some time and I could say more about other cast members from personal experience but I digress... I know the industry is in the crapper but seeing the dude who gave us the The Cornetto Trilogy falling in line with the Hollywood standard is lame.
