By the way, in our region, the reboot is titled The survivor.
Based on King's 1982 novel (which was later made into a 1987 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger), The survivor takes place in a dystopian society where a contest pits contestants, called “runners,” against assassins also known as “hunters.”
Scheduled for release in theaters in November, Paramount Pictures continues to prepare the audience with promotional material, the most recent being a new official poster which shows us Powell at the center of the action, surrounded by all the dangers, threats and people who will hunt him down.

OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS:
“In the near future, “The Survivor” is the highest-rated show on television: a deadly competition where the contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional killers. Every move is broadcast to a bloodthirsty audience and each day the cash reward increases. Desperate to save his sick daughter, Ben Richards (Glen Powell), a working-class man, is convinced by the charming but the show's ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), joins the game as a last resort. But Ben's rebellion, instincts and courage unexpectedly make him a fan favorite and a threat to the entire system. As ratings soar, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not only the Hunters, but a nation addicted to watching him fall.”
