Director Edgar Wright insists that his new film The Running Man is not a remake of the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger joint. Instead, it’s another, more faithful adaptation of the book that Stephen King published under his Richard Bachman alias in 1982. I saw it over the weekend, and it definitely has a very different vibe from the ’80s action classic. In the sole nod to the previous Running Man, we learn that in this new corporate-controlled dystopia, Schwarzenegger’s face is on the $100 bill. And I completely missed that the person conveying that information is Julia Cumming, leader of the New York indie rock trio Sunflower Bean.
