"The trailer gives viewers a taste of what's to come, and it's clear this isn't just a nostalgic remake-it's a full-scale reset."
"In a fractured near-future society, the most-watched show on television is The Running Man, a gladiator-style survival contest where volunteers-known as "Runners"-are hunted by elite assassins for 30 days."
"His daughter's illness and a lack of options force him to volunteer for the game, knowing full well the odds are stacked against him. But Richards isn't running for fame-he's running for survival."
"Powell's charisma and physicality are on full display in the trailer, and his portrayal of a man stuck between desperation and defiance looks set to carry the emotional weight of the film."
Edgar Wright's adaptation of The Running Man reinterprets Stephen King’s 1982 novel, moving away from the campiness of the 1987 version. The trailer portrays a brutal future where a survival contest captivates the public. Glen Powell leads as Ben Richards, a desperate man fighting for his daughter's health by volunteering for a lethal game. His character reflects the film’s emotional depth. Cast includes heavyweights like Josh Brolin and Colman Domingo, promising a layered narrative integrating action with social commentary. The release is anticipated on November 7, 2025.
