Arnie loves the reboot

With director Edgar Wright’s reboot just around the corner, Arnold Schwarzenegger recently revealed he is a big fan of the Baby Driver filmmaker’s modern take on The Running Man.

Glen Powell - who stars as protagonist Ben Richards in the reboot - said of The Terminator actor: “He was so excited that the Stephen King book we put on screen - it’s really the first time Stephen’s vision has been properly adapted.

“He just kept saying, ‘It’s incredible.’”

King himself also approves of the 2025 version of The Running Man, dubbing it the “Die Hard of our time”.

He said: “I've seen it and it's fantastic. DIE HARD for our time. A bipartisan thrill ride.”
