Not a huge Glen Powell fan but he looks like he could be more interesting than usual in this role, and the whole movie looks great -- Wright has always been an excellent action director if nothing else.
Overall I REALLY hope they correct the major failing of the original which was that it did not adhere to Stephen King's grisly, nihilistic ending, which remains one of the most vivid and memorable action sequences I've ever read. The plane footage in this trailer suggests it's a possibility...
