Paramount Pictures has released The Running Man trailer featuring Glen Powell as Ben Richards.
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.
Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh 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.
The Running Man is the second adaptation of a Stephen King novel (of the same name). The first movie, which was loosely based on the novel, was directed by Paul Michael Glaser and starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The 2025 movie will be more faithful to the source material. It is directed by Edgar Wright and stars Glen Powell, William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Michael Cera, Daniel Ezra, Emilia Jones, Colman Domingo, Jayme Lawson, and Josh Brolin.
