Stephen King Reviews New Movie Based on His Book & Compares It to One of the Best Action Movies Ever

Stephen King recently watched *The Running Man* and shared his enthusiastic approval on social media. He called it “fantastic” and compared it to *Die Hard*, praising it as a thrilling film that appeals to everyone. This is a huge compliment, considering *Die Hard* is a classic and highly influential action movie. King is also known for being critical of adaptations of his own stories – his disapproval of Stanley Kubrick’s *The Shining* is well-known. Therefore, his positive reaction strongly suggests that this new version of *The Running Man* successfully captures the essence of his original idea.
