What the fuck, someone at ITV actually thought this was a good idea

In 2025, the world's economy is in shambles and America has become a totalitarian dystopia. 28-year-old Ben Richards, an impoverished resident of the fictional Co-Op City, is unable to find work, having been blacklisted from his trade. His gravely ill daughter Cathy needs medicine, and his wife Sheila has resorted to prostitution to bring in money for the family. In desperation, Richards turns to the Games Network, a government-operated television station that runs violent game shows. After rigorous physical and mental testing, Richards is selected to appear on The Running Man, the Network's most popular, lucrative, and dangerous program. He is interviewed by Dan Killian, the executive producer of the program, who describes the challenges he will face once the game begins. He also meets Fred Victor, the director of the show, and Bobby Thompson, the MC and host.
The contestant is declared an enemy of the state and released with a 12-hour head start before the Hunters, an elite team of Network-employed hitmen, are sent out to kill him. The contestant earns $100 per hour that he stays alive and avoids capture, an additional $100 for each law enforcement officer or Hunter he kills, and a grand prize of $1 billion if he survives for 30 days. Viewers can receive cash rewards for informing the Network of the runner's whereabouts. The runner is given $4,800 and a pocket video camera before he leaves the studio. He can travel anywhere in the world, and each day he must videotape two messages and mail them back to the studio for broadcasting. If he neglects to send the messages, he will be held in default of his Games contract and stop accumulating prize money, but will continue to be hunted indefinitely. Killian states that no contestant has survived long enough to claim the grand prize, nor does he expect anyone to ever do so. Richards simply hopes that he will last long enough to secure his family's future with his prize money.

The Schwarzenegger movie was a load of old shit
Perhaps the general mood nowadays is grim enough that Netflix or someone would pay for an adaptation that's faithful to the source
They'd probably still "reimagine" the ending

I liked it. But as I understand it, it's pretty far from the source material. So in this case a remake could work.

It is a good idea.
Imagine if the BBC pulled a stunt like this, what the fascists complaining about Joe Lycett being allowed to comment on Truss's competence would have to say about it.

That would be brilliant ...
That would be brilliant - but it's not true. I was a regular on here for years and then stopped (for very personal reasons) a good few years ago. Only restarted doing stuff recently .. you know, head exploded, lost my way, personal tragedy, all the usual guff.
Maybe my account info got wiped ... or maybe this is an account i set up and never used. Either way my heads too fecked to rationalise those sorts of things these days.

I'm not trolling anything but I risk posting some invisible Bart Simpson (Invisi-Bart) images on b3ta. I hope someday you guys can do their own images with invisible Bart, maybe here on b3ta, or in other sites such as Twitter, Instagram, DeviantArt, etc...

Unfortunately, Liz Truss has the managerial competence of a stunned baboon and the compassion of a malarial mosquito. The whole country will collapse under her watch but, crucially for Conservative Party members, at least she isn't brown.

However I see for most of you, you are just here today to say cunt a lot. Little tip - cunt is a fucking ace word if used sparingly. Using it everyone isn't big or clever - which is apt as I think none of you are either.
