Edgar Wright hews close to Stephen King's novel in his adaptation of The Running Man.
埃德加·赖特（Edgar Wright）靠近斯蒂芬·金（Stephen King）的小说，以改编他的跑步人。
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Stephen King published several novels under the pseudonym Richard Bachman before being outed in 1984. One of those was The Running Man, later adapted into a star vehicle for Arnold Schwarzenegger. There's a new adaptation on the horizon courtesy of director Edgar Wright (Sean of the Dead, Ant-Man, Baby Driver, Last Night in Soho), and Paramount just dropped the trailer for The Running Man (2025).
在1970年代末和1980年代初，史蒂芬·金（Stephen King）在1984年被淘汰之前以伪扬（Richard Bachman）出版了几本小说。其中之一是奔跑的人，后来改编成Arnold Schwarzenegger的星级车辆。导演埃德加·赖特（Edgar Wright）（昨晚在Soho的卫星，蚂蚁人，婴儿司机，婴儿司机，婴儿司机，婴儿司机）的导演刚刚放弃了跑步人的拖车（2025年）。

King wrote the original novel in just one week. It's set in a dystopian 2025 hellscape (making Wright's film particularly timely), with the global economy in a state of collapse and a totalitarian government ruling the US. The protagonist, Ben Richards, lives in"Co-Op City" with his wife and seriously ill daughter, unable to work because he was blacklisted. So he decides to compete on a deadly game show called The Running Man. He is declared an enemy of the state and given a 12-hour head start before an elite team of Hunters (i.e., assassins) chase after him. He's also required to post videotaped messages every day.
金在短短一周内就写了原始小说。它设置在反乌托邦的2025年地狱景观中（特别及时地使赖特的电影）处于崩溃状态，极权政府统治美国。主角本·理查兹（Ben Richards）与他的妻子和病重的女儿住在“合作城市”中，因为他被黑名单而无法工作。因此，他决定参加一个致命的游戏节目《跑步人》。他被宣布为国家的敌人，并在一支精英猎人（即刺客）追赶他之前获得了12小时的开局。他还要求每天发布录像带的消息。
The goal: survive a full 30 days in order to win the grand prize of $1 billion. Of course, no contestant has ever survived that long; the record is 197 hours. But Ben gets a certain amount of money each day he survives, and for each Hunter he manages to kill, so there's still a financial incentive to help his suffering family. Ben ends up doing better than anyone ever expected, but the deck is stacked against him. And King isn't exactly known for indulging in many happy endings.
目标：为了赢得10亿美元的大奖，生存了整整30天。当然，没有参赛者能够幸存那么久。记录是197小时。但是本每天都能生存一定数量的钱，对于他设法杀死的每个猎人，仍然有经济动力来帮助他的苦难家庭。本最终做得比任何人预期的要好，但是甲板对他堆积。金并不以沉迷于许多幸福结局而闻名。
The 1987 action film starring Schwarzenegger was only loosely based on King's novel, preserving the basic concept and very little else in favor of more sci-fi gadgetry and high-octane action. (For one thing, King conceived of Ben as initially being"scrawny" and"pre-tubercular," not a well-muscled action hero.) It was a noisy, entertaining romp and very late '80s, but it lacked King's subtler satirical tone.
由施瓦辛格（Schwarzenegger）主演的1987年动作电影仅基于金的小说，它保留了基本概念，几乎没有其他支持更多科幻小玩意和高辛烷值的动作。（一方面，国王认为本最初是“ scrawny”和“联结前”，不是一个狂热的动作英雄。）这是一个嘈杂的，娱乐性的嬉戏和80年代后期，但缺乏国王的讽刺讽刺色调。
