Stephen King’s The Running Man is headed back to the big screen from director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Last Night in Soho), with Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick, Twisters) taking over the role played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1987 movie. It’s set for release in theaters from Paramount on November 7, and the trailer arrives tomorrow (July 1).
Watch a short – but explosive – tease for the trailer featuring Glen Powell below.
Glen Powell will be playing the role of Ben in Wright’s The Running Man, with Colman Domingo (Candyman) and Katy O’Brian (Love Lies Bleeding) also starring in the film.
The cast also includes Daniel Ezra, Karl Glusman, Josh Brolin, Lee Pace, Jayme Lawson, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones, William H. Macy, David Zayas, and Sean Hayes.
Edgar Wright wrote the script with Michael Bacall (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, 21 Jump Street). Chung-hoon Chung (Oldboy, It, Last Night in Soho) serves as cinematographer.
King’s novel, published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, was released in 1982, loosely adapted into the same-titled Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring film in 1987. In the film, “In a dystopian America, a falsely convicted policeman gets his shot at freedom when he must forcibly participate in a TV game show where convicts must battle killers for their freedom.”
Daniel Baldwin celebrated 30 years of the 1987 movie adaptation here on Bloody Disgusting back in 2017. He wrote, “30 years later, The Running Man’s social satire hits harder now than it did upon arrival. That alone makes it worthy of remembrance. Once you throw in a pulpy premise, a fun cast, adrenaline-fueled action, hilarious lines, a pulse-pounding synth score, and Arnold at the top of his game. If you haven’t seen it before, now’s the time to change that.”
