You should watch the tv movie from 1970 "The Game of Millions" ("Das Millionenspiel"), it was the first adaptation of the novel and you can clearly see, that the Arnie movie was highly inspired by it.check out this intro.
with films like this and they live, im not sure if i am watching science fiction or a documentary.
The film "Running Man" is based on the Stephen King novel, that is correct, but that one should be based on "The Prize of Peril" of Robert Sheckley. Not sure if Stephen King knew of the "The Game of Millions" movie (I would believe not, since the Arnie movie is already not that close to the Stephen King novel), but I would guess he at least knew the novel.not sure how it could be the first adaptation of the novel. the novel was written by richard bachman, a pseudonym for steven king in the 80s. i read the original-- its different than the film.

This is one of my favorite Richard Bachman stories, also The Long Walk. The movie was similar to the book in only the vaguest way, I didn't like it. Maybe if I hadn't read the book first I might have.not sure how it could be the first adaptation of the novel. the novel was written by richard bachman, a pseudonym for steven king in the 80s. i read the original-- its different than the film.
yes! the long walk was a good one, and i enjoyed that implied alternate reality. the ending, however, was a bit anti-climactic, and there were a few undertones in it that i dont think belonged. i cannot imagine a film being made from that one.This is one of my favorite Richard Bachman stories, also The Long Walk.

Yea I find that alot of Stephen King's endings tend to be weak, some worse than others. i actually got mad at the end of Cell, it literally just stopped dead, I felt like I had wasted my time.yes! the long walk was a good one, and i enjoyed that implied alternate reality. the ending, however, was a bit anti-climactic, and there were a few undertones in it that i dont think belonged. i cannot imagine a film being made from that one.
He wrote that when he was 19 so it has some problems. It is really unsettling, I thought the ending was good , i mean what else could happen?yes! the long walk was a good one, and i enjoyed that implied alternate reality. the ending, however, was a bit anti-climactic, and there were a few undertones in it that i dont think belonged. i cannot imagine a film being made from that one.
If you're a science fiction writer, you daydream about all potential futures. Most of them end up being dystopian since current state of the world leads to cynicism.Bump
....because the times demand it
I've come to the conclusion that some of these think-tank papers, too controversial for the public eye, end up as movie scripts. How many "normal" people sit around and daydream about scenarios like the opening lines in the OP? Scenarios that just so happen to materialize? Something an ordinary, normal person clearly wouldn't orchestrate because they lack the means to do so.
i understand your point. there are organically derived dystopian tales from independent creators. BUT... most of these films fall into the category of predictive programming. hollywood is not there simply for entertainment. as luciferians, they must us know what they have in store for humanity.If you're a science fiction writer, you daydream about all potential futures.

As an aspiring writer, I feel a lot of non-creative people don't understand that it's not that hard to have insight in what might be. Telling a story how 9/11 was an inside job, before 9/11 as seen in the X-Files spin-off, Lone Gunmen? It's not so hard to imagine if you're aware of Operation: Northwoods, which book were written about in 1999.
I too understand what you are trying to say. Looking at currents trends, in any year, its possible for one to make an near-accurate prediction of what the future could hold.If you're a science fiction writer, you daydream about all potential futures.
