“He becomes the most hunted man on the planet… It’s the deadliest game of hide & seek.” Paramount has revealed yet another new promo featurette video for The Running Man, the Edgar Wright action movie exploding into theaters this November – watch the most recent trailer here. I’m pumped to watch! Based on the 1982 novel by Stephen King (under his pseudonym Richard Bachman) – it is the second adaptation of the book after the 1980s movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Set in a dystopian future, a game show called “The Running Man” has people chased by murderous Hunters across the world to win money. Ben Richards is willing to go the distance in this ultimate game of life and death… This new 2025 take on the sci-fi story stars Glen Powell as Ben, with Katy O’Brian, Daniel Ezra, Karl Glusman, Josh Brolin, Lee Pace, Jayme Lawson, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones, William H. Macy, David Zayas, Sean Hayes, and Colman Domingo. They’ve been releasing so many videos for this movie – I just hope it’s even better than it looks. Bring on the sci-fi action bonanza! I’m ready to watch Glen Powell outrun & outsmart everyone. 🏃
