Watch for Nyle DiMarco’s Deaf President Now! at Sundance in March Sean Hayes, Katy O’Brian,Lee Pace run to Stephen King There’s a remake of the 1987 film The Running Man on the block.
Long before The Hunger Games, we had this earlier dystopian vision of a future where people competed to survive while professional killers tracked them (and it may be due to the success of Hunger Games that this one has sprung back to paranoid life).
The earlier adaptation of the Stephen King (er… “Richard Bachman”) novel starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, and this one has movie-star-of-the-moment Glen Powell (Twisters) alongside Josh Brolin, CODA star Emilia Jones and queer actors Katy O’Brian, Lee Pace and Will & Grace alum Sean Hayes.
Will all this queer talent translate into any sort of LGBTQ narrative within the larger story? No one’s telling. And frankly, we just like to see this many gays with jobs in one place.
