The novel was already adapted in 1987, with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead role. The film turned out decent, but it was miles away from the cyberpunk dystopia that King had crafted. The zoomboola.com editorial team wants to note that this new adaptation, starring Glen Powell , clearly feels much closer to the original in tone. At the same time, plenty in the trailer suggests the film will pack serious dark humor – something that wasn't present in King's dead-serious novel. The movie hits theaters in November.
