Damn… it truly is contemporary…

>another remake, soft reboot or sequel of prime Arnold era movie
They keep failing and nobody cares for them or asks for them. This is dumb. Glen Powell is a rising star and he's gonna waste time on this when he showed wide range with Hitman. Lame

I didn't think they could make an Arnold movie remake worse than Total Recall with Colin Farrell, but here we are.

This is possibly my highest effort shitpost ever, it's still not every good and I honestly don't even know what made me think of this dead coon. Oh well lol

>>212251811 (OP)
Is there even a tiny chance they'll do the heroic 9/11 ending? Would be kino but I doubt it

>>212251811 (OP)
Seeing libdems preparing popcorns for how Powell's "red state" fans would take to the plot, as if the 1st movie wasn't released during Regan. As if gun owners are armed cos they trust the govt? As if DHS stopping overreaching when GOP's not in office?

>>212252158
This might be the one prime Arnie movie I loved that I DON'T mind seeing a reboot attempt at. So much of the plot was just "this is how it is, deal with it" and made no sense, which movies these days are less willing to do so they might expound on a bunch of shit. And this literal who Top Gun guy isn't big time enough to get away with 90% of his dialogue being quippy puns like Arnold, so he'll have to actually talk like a person

something off about this actor

>>212251811 (OP)
It’ll come down to how interesting the hunters are. 80’s movies were great at creating interesting villains without giving any backstory and I think modern movies suck because they try too hard to explain everything. Sub Zero was a fat Asian guy on ice skates that murdered people with a bladed hockey stick and exploding pucks because that’s just what he did. Also, Patrick Swayze was chosen to play Ben Richards in the original before it was decided to turn it into an Arnold action movie so I’m interested to see a non Arnie version of this.

>>212253228
Trailer does have a scene with him in a plane cockpit and several shots of the big building so maybe, but I wouldn't be surprised if they puss out.

gonna be completely forgettable like the total recall and robocop reboots

>>212251811 (OP)
Whats his facial expression supposed to convey?

>>212251811 (OP)
The Commando reboot will be gay af.

Story checks out

Edgar Wright is nothing without Simon Pegg writing his scripts.

Stop calling it a remake. It's not.

>>212255284
The "Communist Revolutions" of the 20th Century that destroyed millions of old buildings were a continuation of a great reset that had been raging since the 1700s. Their reason for destroying everything was to get people to envision what can be, unburdened by what has been. But the world they've created doesn't seem all that appealing and many are hoping that one day, the Tartarian Empire strikes back.

>>212251811 (OP)
I'm just happy to be seen. I am a 6'2" extremely handsome white guy and I date and have babies with the ugliest black women I know. So the only way I can enjoy a movies is if they put my exact unrealistic circumstances in the movie itself. ty Edgar Wright!

OC in the age of AI is a noble thing
not very good though yeah

So now you shills are just going to repost the same bait every single day until this comes out? At least Sweeney had tits to post, this is simply pathetic.

>>212251811 (OP)
they think they can capture gen x with this filth and fraud

>>212251811 (OP)
it looks terrible

>>212257437
I agree that it's tied into adrenochrome. Even the baby farms.

>>212257486
Huh?

>>212251811 (OP)
Looks like shit. Glen Powell sucks

>>212251811 (OP)
if its fun and doesnt take itself too seriously ill like it
>black wife
yawn.

>>212257555
It'll be terrible just like every other movie made in the last ten years

>>212257486

The what now?

Take your med

what can I say, I'm not a graphic designer I'm just a nigga with paint on his computer

>>212251811 (OP)
Are we just cursed not to have good science fiction movies any more?

>>212257555
The tone of the trailer is bizarre but ostensibly it is so serious with the screaming at the camera and story about needing to pay for his kids medical bills but in between the seams it looks like its going to be heavy on satire and goofy comedy.

>>212257813
Makes the main character look like a psychopath with zero empathy. Just the scenes of him holding the kid look like he's not emotionally there and holding someone else's kid.

>The Running Man
>Not Tom Cruise
One job

>>212251811 (OP)
Dude could play BJ blaskovich in a wolfenstein movie.

We had "dishonest cinema", now we have "coward cinema". Wright was at a crossroads - does he remake the colourful, fun and exciting 80s movie, or does he adapt the dour, grim and violent novel?
Instead of having the creative courage to stake his claim and fully commit to one of two artistic directions, he chose to hedge his bets and now we have disjointed slop.

>>212252924
kek nice
>>212257344
fuck off with the virtue signaling

>>212255237
My bet is that, just like the rest of the film, it will be a pussy cop out
crashes the plane but only takes out the bad guy in the office, paeachutes out and saves his family

>>212257442
Gen X are Hollywood's favorite battered wife target audience.

I'm seriously getting the fatigue

>>212259745
Nah, he does that all but stages his own death to protect his family or some shit.

>>212251811 (OP)
Remake. Was ok.

>>212259766
How do you go from this ...

but will they go full bachman?

>>212251811 (OP)
The trailer reminds me of that one Daniel Radcliffe movie where he has guns bolted onto his hands.

>>212260291
Guns Akimbo ... that was actually pretty good though and it is obvious that this trash isn't going to be.

This man is running

>>212252158
Did you watch the 87 movie recently? It didn't age gracefully to say the least. It's a case where remakes make sense here.

God just saw this trailer. Everything I hate about modern movies was in this trailer.

it looks shit regardless but man they really, really don't want money

>>212251811 (OP)
yes

>>212254593
He's approved. He's not his own, that's clear. This pos will be terrible. I didn't watch that Twister knock-off, but it looks fucking awful too.

>>212251811 (OP)
I actually think the original Arnold Running Man is one of his weakest movies, so it won't be hard to make a better movie than that if they try at all.

I thought the OG would be good, but it was pretty shit

>>212263038
The scene with him smashing the camera was 100% a shoutout to the original

>>212260033
Josh Brolin is a decent choice but I was hoping for a black Killian. Forrest Whittaker would have been kino in the role

>>212257307
The funniest think about this is Im pretty sure in the Steven King book (which this movie is based on) Ben Richards is kind of racist. I'm pretty sure uses the word Nigger several times in the book when referring to individuals that he does not like.

That's exactly why they made him a racemixer, my friend.

>hey why you running, man ?
>….no reason

>>212261638
I watched it again a few weeks ago and it really did age like shit.
None of the bad guys are physically intimidating, they're all either old, fat or old and fat and their gimmicks look cheap as shit.
The problem for this reboot is that Arnold was a phenom and a lot of his movies were only hits because Arnold was in them. Arnold put asses in seats and there isn't anyone left that does that.
The age of the movie star has ended.

>>212259766
I didn't make it far into that reboot. It was clear from the off when his daughter is dressing him down in the opening fucking scene that this was not Raylan. I quit sometime in the following court scene. I quit a fucking show in the middle of its first scene with KEITH DAVID. THAT is how fucking terrible you are now, Hollyfaggots.

>>212251811 (OP)
This looks like a Mission Impossible poster

>>212257228
>the Tartarian Empire strikes back.
Underrated post.

>>212261638
>It didn't age gracefully to say the least.
Haven't seen it in years, but I remember it having weird sets where everything happened. Judging by the new trailer, the reboot movie just takes place... in the city. Nothing fancy or exciting about that.

>>212251811 (OP)
This looks like it belongs in the same era of those dull remakes of Total Recall and Robocop

sometimes when i run.... i dont know when to stop...

just read the fucking book
the bachman stuff is actually some of the best king has written

He ran. He man.
