The Drunk on Writing Dissections Drunk on Writing

The Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring THE RUNNING MAN proves not all adaptations are created equally: it's an entertaining, action-packed film with little to nothing to do with the original Stephen King novel.But, it might actually be the better story.----------------------------------------In the video, I mistakenly noted Steven E. de Souza's comment about Andrew Davis came from the Screen Anarchy interview. It actually came from an interview with “I Was There Too” podcast host Matt Gourley, as noted by /Film here: https://www.slashfilm.com/the-running-man-alternate-versions/Read or listen to the Screen Anarchy interview with Steven E. de Souza here: https://screenanarchy.com/2017/02/interview-the-running-man-writer-steven-e-de-souza-on-living-in-the-future-of-1987.html ----------------------------------------Brought to you in part through the patronage of Stephanie Brelsford, Ariya Norinth, and Karen and Andrew Pawlowski.
