Nice! I was hoping the R rating would let them do it justice, looking forward to this one

I remember reading that. Was in the same book as The Running Man iirc.
Wasn't that getting a "book remake" as well?

Yep, Edgar Wright directing. I think it comes out in November.

I'm not sure how they'd make this movie visually interesting. It's just a bunch of kids walking. It's been a while since I've read the book but IIRC it relied heavily on its protagonist's internal monologue. Not the kind of thing that translates easily to the screen.

The trailer looks decent. They focus heavily on the people so hopefully it'll work

The trailer spoils one of the major reveals. In the book, it took quite a while before you found out that any of the kids who'd stop walking would be shot. You knew that the kids were afraid of slowing down because it'd mean that they'd "get their ticket" but you didn't know what that meant. A big part of the early story was just trying to figure out what was going on based on the minimal clues you were given.

I liked the trailor for this and enjoyed the book many years ago (from the big Bachman collection book), hope it lives up to the hype.
Yep the trailer looks great
