Millions Hunt. One Runs. Everyone Watches. Watch the Official Trailer for The #RunningManMovie – Only in theatres November 7 ​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.

Edgar Wright is on the run. Not from the authorities, thankfully, but to the editing suite. “I’m going back to work after this call,” he says, as he sits down for a Zoom with Empire long after most people will have clocked off for the day. He’s got a film to complete, after all. And that film is The Running Man, in which Glen Powell stars as a man who becomes a contestant on the deadliest game show in the world. Imagine if The Chase involved actual chasing, and you’re halfway there.

If the title seems familiar, that’s because you may have seen the 1987 movie of the same name, starring one Arnold Schwarzenegger. That was loosely based on the Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King) book of the same name. Wright’s version promises to be much more faithful, and the trailer — out today — promises a typically wild Wrightian ride. Here, he pauses just long enough inbetween lung-busting strides to tell us about some of the trailer’s key moments and images.
