Another Stephen King adaptation is finally moving forward as The Running Man has cast its first star. The 1982 novel about a man participating in a game show revolving around surviving assassins was first loosely adapted with the Arnold Schwarzenegger-led 1987 movie of the same name, which King generally disliked for its various changes to the source material. It was announced nearly 35 years later that acclaimed director Edgar Wright would be co-writing and directing a new adaptation, though updates had since fallen quiet.
