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.
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.
