Article Summary
The Running Manis one of the more hoped-for films of the latter part of 2025 , and with good grounds . A remaking of the 1987Arnold Schwarzeneggerfilm , which is based on aStephen Kingstory write by Richard Bachman , it starsGlen Powell , Katy O’Brian , Daniel Ezra , Karl Glusman , Josh Brolin , Lee Pace , Jayme Lawson , Michael Cera , Emilia Jones , William H. Macy , David Zayas , Sean Hayes , andColman Domingo . Edgar Wrightdirects from a handwriting by himself andMichael Bacall . This will lean more heavily on the book , as detailed in a fresh audience withEmpireby Wright .
The Running Man For A New Generation
" One of the things about the book that I love was the fact that Ben Richards is out in the world on his own , so it ’s like the deadliest game of hide and attempt , " Wright tellsEmpire . " It does feel like making a road pic in a lot of ways : a very vivid , dangerous route movie , " he sum up . " Ben is moving through dissimilar environments and meeting different people as he attempt to last 30 days out in the wild . "
I do love that the setting is being afford up more and not confined to a studio apartment ; that will give the activeness more blank space to breathe . The Running Manis beloved not just for its violence , though ; it has a wicked sense of humor . I am trusted that Wright will keep that tone , but it is of import not to lean too far into silliness . Powell has the chops for this part to be a immense springboard for him . If this is a hit , this one will cement him as one of the go - to actors in Hollywood . I wason the fencewhen this was announced , as the archetype is one of my favorite 80s moving-picture show and high on my inclination of personal favourite action films . But the more I read , and with that mould , consider myself excited .
The Running Manwill open in theaters on November 7 .
