Los Angeles, Nov 13 : Hollywood actor Glen Powell just doesn't want to work in any more remakes. The Hollywood actor appeared in a sequel to 1996 movie â??Twisterâ?? as well as â??Top Gun: Maverickâ??, the follow-up to â??Top Gunâ??.

His latest project is a new version of Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1987 blockbuster â??The Running Manâ?? but the actor is adamant he just wants to focus on "original movies" in the future, reports â??Female First UKâ??.

He told The Hollywood Reporter, "The reality is Iâ??m not looking for (more remakes). A lot of the movies I have coming up are original movies, and thatâ??s what Iâ??m trying to do. Iâ??m trying to put out my own legacy of pictures for people to maybe retread years down the lineâ??.

As per â??Female First UKâ??, the actor went on to explain why he took on â??The Running Manâ??, which is based on Stephen King's 1982 novel of the same name, insisting his version is going to be closer to the original text than the Schwarzenegger film.

He said, "The reality is that we really arenâ??t remaking the Arnold movie. Weâ??re really putting Stephen Kingâ??s book on screen for the first time. Arnoldâ??s film took a lot of creative liberties with the core concept. Anytime youâ??re treading on a title that has any sort of legacy, I donâ??t know if itâ??s really about box office. Itâ??s really not even about how people feel about it. Itâ??s the why. Why make this movie now? And when you really look at Stephen Kingâ??s original book, itâ??s set in 2025. So I donâ??t know if thereâ??s any title that has more relevance than â??The Running Manâ?? today. When you watch this movie, every single part of it that was in Stephen Kingâ??s book is so eerily familiar. Itâ??s crazyâ??.

â??The Running Manâ?? is playing in cinemas.
