The Running Man featurette takes us behind-the-scenes of Edgar Wright’s actioner

September 22, 2025 by Matt Rodgers

Paramount Pictures has released a behind-the-scenes featurette that gives audiences a look at the training schedule that went into the propulsive action featured in Edgar Wright’s forthcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s The Running Man. 

Written by the Shaun of the Dead director, alongside 21 Jump Street‘s Michael Bacall, The Running Man stars Glen Powell, William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Emilia Jones, Michael Cera, Daniel Ezra, Jayme Lawson with Colman Domingo and Josh Brolin. Check out the action-packed video below…

“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 favourite—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.”
