10 Upcoming Remakes That Might Actually Be Great

10. The Running Man

Dystopian action thriller The Running Man may not rank among the very finest of Arnold Schwarzenegger's genre vehicles, but it's nevertheless a damn entertaining movie that's still a gonzo blast to watch today.

All the same, it's pretty surprising that Hollywood waited so long to get a remake in front of cameras, and given that it's being directed by the great Edgar Wright, it's pretty tough to write this one off. More to the point, Wright's move is less a straight remake of the Schwarzenegger film than a more faithful re-adaptation of Stephen King's original novel. Plus, Wright co-wrote the script with his Scott Pilgrim vs. The World co-scribe Michael Bacall, and the cast is stacked deep, with lead Glen Powell being joined by Katy O'Brian, Josh Brolin, Lee Pace, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones, and William H. Macy.

While the new Running Man will never replicate or replace the over-the-top camp of the 1987 film, with so much talent in front of and behind the camera, the odds are that it'll be a worthy new take.
