Paramount Pictures has released the first trailer and poster for “The Running Man,” Edgar Wright’s new adaptation of the 1982 Stephen King novel, confirming a U.S. theatrical debut on November 7, 2025—two weeks earlier than previously scheduled. The trailer introduces Glen Powell as Ben Richards, an out-of-work father who volunteers for a dystopian game show in which participants, dubbed Runners, must elude professional assassins for 30 days. Success promises a life-changing cash prize that Richards hopes will fund treatment for his gravely ill daughter, while the nation watches the carnage on live television. Josh Brolin portrays the show’s calculating producer Dan Killian, with Colman Domingo hosting the blood-sport broadcast and Michael Cera joining in a clandestine supporting role. The ensemble also features Katy O’Brian, Lee Pace, Jayme Lawson and William H. Macy. Wright co-wrote the screenplay with longtime collaborator Michael Bacall and produces alongside Nira Park and Simon Kinberg. Wright says the film hews more closely to King’s source material than the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle, expanding the action beyond a closed arena to a nationwide manhunt. “The Running Man” is Wright’s first feature since 2021’s “Last Night in Soho” and positions Paramount with a marquee genre title at the start of the holiday movie season.
