My most anticipated film of 2025 is Edgar Wright’s The Running Man. The Stephen King adaptation was attempted back in the 80s with Arnold Schwarzenegger and it is nothing like the book itself. Now, the Wright and Michael Bacall adaptation promises to bring us a more accurate take on it.
As part of the preparation for the film’s release, Collider gave fans an exclusive look at the film with an image of Glen Powell and quotes from director and co-writer, Edgar Wright, about the film itself. Wright shared that his adaptation of the film has some…appealing aspects for fans. “I have to start coming up with my snappy elevator pitches. I would say it’s a new adaptation of Stephen King’s The Running Man that features not only running, but also fighting, hiding, falling, shooting and some half naked abseiling.”
