The Running Man (based on Stephen King novel from '86) is  
getting a new film treatement coming out in November.  Looks  
good. The novel is being released with a movie tie-in cover.

"Ben Richards has no job, no money, and a young daughter who  
urgently needs medical attention. Desperate, out of options, he  
signs up for The Running Man, "the biggest show in the  
country." It's an ultraviolent competition where the stakes  
could not be higher. Ben must stay alive for thirty days while  
an elite strike force, trained to kill, hunts for him. If he  
can survive for a month, he wins a billion dollars. No  
contestant has ever lasted longer than eight days. Can Ben  
Richards win this ultimate game of life and death?"

The '87 movie starring Arnold Scharsenegger supposedly takes  
place in 2017.  Arnold uses the line "I'll be back" in that  
one.
