Paramount Pictures’ The Running Man featurette provides a super short peek at what Glen Powell describes as a nonstop action film. The behind-the-scenes video teases a little of what Powell went through, including training in weaponry and combat.
Joining Powell in the mayhem are William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones, Daniel Ezra, and Jayme Lawson. Sean Hayes, Katy O’Brian, Colman Domingo, and Josh Brolin also star.
“In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on television—a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward,” reads Paramount Pictures’ synopsis. “Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort. But Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite—and a threat to the entire system. As ratings skyrocket, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not just the Hunters but a nation addicted to watching him fall.”
Edgar Wright and Michael Bacall adapted Stephen King’s novel, with Wright directing. Executive producers include George Linder, James Biddle, Rachael Prior, Audrey Chon, Pete Chiappetta, Anthony Tittanegro, and Andrew Lary. Wright, Simon Kinberg, and Nira Park serve as producers.
The Running Man opens in theaters, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, premium large format, and IMAX on November 14, 2025.
