This looks like it might have more cyberpunk themes than the Schwarzenegger version while still retaining some of the light-hearted aspect of it. With Edgar Wright directing, I’m cautiously optimistic about this one.

    Looks like it’s a lot more true to the novella than the Schwarzenegger movie was. The novella is awesome btw, some of Stephen King’s best writing. (just don’ t read the intro by King bc it contains a major spoiler.)

      So we are getting a white man problems story (a few of the Bachman books I’ve read are exactly that) that shift hard into environmental classism (pollution aimed at lower classes) with a quarter of the story remaining?

      The movie with Arnold was nothing like the book. I wanna see people who are discriminated on, so badly their money isn’t acceptable as currency.
