The Running Man - Exciting Final Trailer for the New Adaptation 🎬

Edgar Wright (Sean of the Dead, Baby Driver) directed and produced the new adaptation of The Running Man, from a screenplay he co-wrote with Michael Bacall. It is based on the 1982 novel of the same name by Stephen King (under his pseudonym Richard Bachman). The first adaptation was back in 1987 and starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.

In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on television—a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted
by professional assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward. Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort. But Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite—and a threat to the entire system. As ratings
skyrocket, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but a nation addicted to watching him fall.

The new film stars Glen Powell, 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.

The Running Man is scheduled to be released by Paramount Pictures on 14th November 2025.
