If they remade, who would you cast as Ben?

I would actually bring Arnie back. Lol jk
I honestly think an overpowering kind of guy is needed for this movie(if you're going to make it similar to this one). If you're going for some kind of karate guy then that's one thing but if you want brute strength, you can't use a guy like Damon. -

If they were going to make a movie based on the actual Bachman (King) book (I think "reboot" fits better than "remake"), then I guess I would agree with casting an unknown. If not, Cillian Murphy would do an excellent job as he comes across as very sharp and has the same scrawny physique as Richards from the book.
For the charismatic Killian (who if I remember the novel right was a black man), I would probably go with Isaiah Washington or Dennis Haysbert. Just as an aside. -

I agree with Gerard Butler as Richards; Clive Owen would also be an interesting choice as Richards. When I first read the Running Man in the mid 80's I envisioned Mel Gibson as Richards, but he is too old now. I would also like to see this remade, but following the book, although I'm not sure if they would do the plane flying into the skyscraper ending.
