Quick Behind-the-Scenes Look at Edgar Wright’s ‘The Running Man’

“We’re really breaking out the heavy artillery. The big explosions. Hopefully I’ll make the stunts look cool.” Paramount has debuted a quick new behind-the-scenes promo video for The Running Man, the next new Edgar Wright movie after Last Night in Soho in 2021. Landing in theaters this November – watch the first trailer here. Based on the 1982 novel by Stephen King (under his pseudonym Richard Bachman) – it is the second adaptation of the book following that 1980s movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Set in a dystopian future, a game show called “The Running Man” has people chased by murderous Hunters across the world to win money. Ben Richards is willing to go the distance in this ultimate game of life and death… This new 2025 version stars Glen Powell as Ben, with 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. I’m not sure why this featurette is so short – only 30 seconds, with just a few quick shots of the behind-the-scenes stunt work. I hope we’ll see more soon! This movie better be good. // Continue Reading ›
