Who loves you, and who do you love?

Is remaking The Running Man a good idea? Maybe. Can it be closer to the book? Definitely. Can it be as grimdark as the book? Possibly. Would that lose the cultural cache of its satire on entertainment strongly influencing entertainment that followed it? Perhaps. Can Edgar Wright do it? Certainly. Can I imagine him using the headache-inducing video for Temple Of Dreams by Messiah as an Easter egg at some point? Totally.

Can it be less 80s? It can’t possibly not be.
