Crazy Trailer For 'The Running Man': Edgar Wright's New Hit?

Glen Powell, in the role of Ben Richards, faces immense challenges as he fights for survival in a deadly game.

After a first teaser last night, the full trailer for The Running Man has finally arrived. Edgar Wright's new film is an adaptation of the novel by Stephen King.

That book was initially turned into a movie in 1987 starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. At that time, the film received much criticism for deviating significantly from the original story. However, if the trailer is any indication, that may not be the case this time.

Story


The Running Man is set in a near future. Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is an unemployed man desperate to find medicine for his daughter.

In a bid to secure medical supplies, he signs up for the Running Man, a game show where participants are hunted by assassins. They have 30 days to survive, and if they win, they receive a huge cash prize. But this game might be rigged.

Trailer


Check out the trailer below. The Running Man also features roles for Josh Brolin, Colman Domingo, Katy O'Brian, Michael Cera, and more. The film hits theaters on November 7.
