Edgar Wright’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Running Man has garnered King’s approval, particularly for its bold new ending, which diverges from the original novel while maintaining its intense spirit. Set in a dystopian future, the film follows Ben Richards (Glen Powell) as he participates in a deadly game show to save his ailing daughter. While critics have mixed feelings about the ending, King praised the script, adding pressure for Wright to meet both his and audience expectations. The film is set to release on November 14.
