Book was actually excellent but there is no way in hell they do the ending as remotely close to written as I would like, because current year. Edgar Wright can do no wrong in my eyes, so gonna roll the dice on this one.

Book route for the story but with a tone entirely different. I don't think we're going to have our hero's wife get murdered trying to hook for money to buy (fake) medicine for their sick child that also dies to then close the movie out with the dude showing off his world class impression of a 9/11 hijacker.

Haha. No, I wanna say it had like Justin Timberlake in it. He was being hunted for some reason. I probably watched it stoned when nothing else was on

Adaptations of The Most Dangerous Game - Wikipedia
even looking at this list its missing a bunch.
or the variants like Death race 2000.
(I see "the running man" is not listed as a movie, but only as a book adaptation. )
Timberlake movie was "in time", which was more of a heist/chase movie. then death game.
He was being hunted by a cop, because he stole something valuable or specifically was given something stolen, not for sport or entertainment.

Weird choice of music, the trailer gives a vibe for a different genre than what we are seeing scenes for. Leaves me with the impression of those late 90s / 2000s films where marketing had no idea how to present the movie and it pathed completely separate from the promotional material.

They could take out all the "Running Man" logos and shit and it wouldn't even really have much in common with the original.

I thought the trailer looked pretty good tbh, kind of a cool and interesting vibe compared to the original movie and Powell is a good choice I think. Though it looks like there's a lot of Squid Game influence here going on? Hard to say at this point.
Then I read this post and now I think they'll do a 'white guys are gonna false flag/terrorist attack us all to death!' Kind of angle.
Please, I hope not

Don't bet on Edgar Wright being closet MAGA. lolI thought the trailer looked pretty good tbh, kind of a cool and interesting vibe compared to the original movie and Powell is a good choice I think. Though it looks like there's a lot of Squid Game influence here going on? Hard to say at this point.

had you covered In Time. It's not the same at all, but I kind of understand why you would think that.
