"The story centers on a struggling man named Ben Richards, played by Glen Powell, who is a contestant on a mega-popular TV game show where he's hunted by trained killers, and earns more money the longer he stays alive."
"Despite the dark premise, the trailer has a fairly lighthearted tone, mixed in with all of the death and destruction."
"In addition to being helmed by Wright, the new movie also includes a pretty large and notable cast."
"The latest version of The Running Man also isn't the only dystopic King adaptation in the works right now."
Edgar Wright's take on Stephen King's novel The Running Man features Glen Powell as Ben Richards, a contestant hunted by killers for a popular TV game show. The premise involves surviving for 30 days while facing threats from both trained assassins and the general public. The trailer conveys a playful, nostalgic vibe reminiscent of '80s action movies. The film boasts a large ensemble cast including notable actors. This adaptation follows a previous 1987 film and joins a lineup of other King novel adaptations currently in production.
