By “Anyone But You” co-stars Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell may be reuniting sooner than expected.
DanielRPK reports that Sweeney is being considered to join Powell in Edgar Wright’s upcoming remake of the Arnold Schwarzenegger-led 1987 sci-fi action feature “The Running Man”.
A new adaptation of the 1982 Stephen King novel (penned under the pseudonym Richard Bachman), the story is set in an America under a totalitarian regime that uses violent game shows to placate the disenfranchised masses.
One desperate man, needing money for his sick daughter, joins the most popular show in which teams of killers hunt down contestants. The longer one survives, the more money that person makes.
But as the game show’s producers and killers will find out, this desperate man will break all the rules and expose the show’s dark secrets.
Shooting on the project is aiming to begin in October in London, which will be after Sweeney films her work in David Michod’s upcoming Christy Martin biopic.
Wright co-writes the script with Michael Bacall while Nira Parkl and Simon Kinberg produce.
Sweeney is already being lined up to star in Wright’s remake of 1960s sci-fi cult smash “Barbarella” which is in development at the moment.
