Sometimes in the world of cinema, events happen that you simply can’t miss. The release of the first trailer for “Running Man” is exactly one of those moments. This new adaptation of Stephen King’s iconic novel takes viewers into a dark dystopian world where television has turned into a bloody survival game. And this version is closer to the original than ever before.
The lead role is played by Glen Powell — a rising star who has already proven his acting talent. Known from films like “Top Gun: Maverick” and “I’m Not a Killer,” he steps into the shoes of Ben Richards — a desperate father willing to do anything to save his daughter.
The story, taken directly from King’s novel, transports us to a future America where the brutal TV show “Running Man” captivates millions. Participants must fight for their lives in front of millions of viewers — the game becomes their last chance to survive and earn money for the essentials. This concept explores themes of morality, human nature, and the cruelty of modern society.
The film is directed by Edgar Wright — known for “Shaun of the Dead” and “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.” His signature style and sense of humor promise to add unique energy and freshness to the movie.
Besides Glen Powell, the cast features true screen heavyweights — Josh Brolin, Katie O’Brian, Colman Domingo, and Lee Pace. Such a lineup guarantees strong performances and deep characters.
“Running Man” hits theaters on November 7th — a perfect opportunity for fans of the genre and Stephen King enthusiasts to dive into a gripping thriller filled with action and social issues.
