“ Running Man ‘will have a new end approved by Stephen King

In just over a month, the new version of Edgar Wright THE Running Man will be released, and he will have changes to the source of the equipment. This also includes its conclusion, and if you do not want to know how the original book has ended, you should not go further.

At the end of the 1979 novel, Ben Richards – in Glen Powell’s new film – brings that his wife and daughter were killed, which led him to use an airplane to kill himself and the game network that manages the holder of Bloodsport holder. An end like this would probably run unwanted attention, and Wright told the films of the United Kingdom that he and the co-series Michael Bacall “knew at the beginning that (the end of the novel) was not going to be part of this adaptation”.

Thus, a new end has been manufactured, but the specificities are under the Wraps. A change like this required King’s signaling, and Wright frankly called the day the script was sent “perhaps the most scary day in all production”. But King was high on the whole script and had no qualms about changing things: Wright estimated that King knew that a change was in the air, and recalled that he was “very curious” to know how the end would be approached. “He said we had” excellent work “, so I was very happy,” said Wright.

At a certain level, it is not too surprising, since the 1987 version of The racing man Also changed the end so that Richards and Amber Mendez go to kiss after Killian’s death on live television. Nor is it the only king adaptation to deviate from the source material in this way, as The long walk Also takes a strong divergence, and King long -standing fans can probably name each change in films and emissions according to his work.

We will see how The racing man Glue the landing with its new end when it arrives in theaters on November 14.
