This week on The Treatment, Elvis speaks with writer-director Edgar Wright. His newest project is an adaptation of the 1982 Stephen King novel The Running Man, starring Glen Powell. They discuss the thrill of collaborating with King on the project, the prescience of the novel, and why it was important to make the protagonist an ordinary guy.
