Prepare for a thrilling ride as Glen Powell defies death in the upcoming adaptation of Stephen King's 'The Running Man'! This action-packed film, directed by Edgar Wright, promises to keep you on the edge of your seat.
In a world where a simple TV contest turns deadly, Glen Powell portrays Ben Richards, a desperate father who takes on a challenge that could save his sick daughter's life. But here's where it gets controversial: the rules are simple - survive 30 days of professional assassins, and the prize is a fortune.
The new trailer showcases Powell's character navigating this twisted game, realizing it's not just about survival but also uncovering the truth behind the rigged nature of the show. With each step, Ben's life hangs in the balance, and the audience is left wondering: how far will he go to protect his family?
And this is the part most people miss: the film's supporting cast is just as intriguing. William H. Macy and Michael Cera play pivotal roles, guiding Ben through this deadly maze. Macy's character even provides a fake identity, a crucial move in this game of cat and mouse.
'The Running Man' also stars Colman Domingo as the charismatic host and Josh Brolin as the producer, adding layers of intrigue to the story. With an all-star cast, including Lee Pace, Jayme Lawson, and Emilia Jones, this film is set to be a blockbuster.
But wait, there's more! This isn't the first time 'The Running Man' has been adapted. Back in 1987, Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in a version that added a unique twist to the story.
So, will Glen Powell's portrayal of Ben Richards leave a lasting impact? Will the film live up to the legacy of Stephen King's novel? These questions and more will be answered when 'The Running Man' hits theaters on November 14th.
