Running Man Trailer Drops at NYCC Starring Glen Powell

by

The first trailer for the movie *The Running Man* was revealed at New York Comic Con, giving fans a new glimpse of this updated and gritty version of the well-known dystopian tale. Starring Glen Powell, the film will be in theaters on November 14th.

A Deadly Game Show for Survival

In a world not too distant from our own, *Running Man* revolves around a wildly popular—and deadly—TV show. Contestants, known as “Runners,” are hunted by trained killers and must survive for 30 days. The entire chase is broadcast live to a captivated audience eager for thrills, and the longer a Runner lasts, the more money they can win.

Will Powell portrays Ben Richards, a blue-collar worker who becomes involved with the show to help his ailing daughter. His rebellious spirit and sharp thinking quickly make him popular with viewers and a surprising challenge to the established order.

Power Players Behind the Game

Josh Brolin plays Dan Killian, a smooth and heartless producer who persuades Richards to participate in a dangerous competition. As the competition intensifies and the viewers start to see Richards as a rebel, Killian begins to lose his grip on everything.

Release Date and Tone

The movie *Running Man* arrives in theaters on November 14th. It’s based on a story by Stephen King (originally published under the name Richard Bachman), but this version is much more realistic and intense than previous adaptations, emphasizing the struggle to survive, the desire for control, and the dark side of entertainment.
