THE RUNNING MAN Review: Glen Powell Leads Edgar Wright’s Steady Action Classic Revamp
I never read any literary works by “Richard Bachman,” so like virtually anyone in my generation, Paul Michael Glaser’s futuristic thriller, The Running Man was my first exposure to the IP, and with the casting of Arnold Schwarzenegger, you can believe it was a seller. It’s enough to be warranted a classic, so there’s no question that any idea there was about revisiting the book in any filmic capacity would draw a mix of prominently skeptic responses. Leave it to writer/director Edgar Wright to take on the task of proving doubters wrong with his latest trudge with co-writer Michael Bacall, for a brand new reimagining which he at once touted as a story more closer to the novel than the film’s 1987 predecessor. I’ll leave it to the bookworms to make that judgement since I can only gauge the film’s performance on its own merits next to the original, while […]

THE RUNNING MAN: UK Filming Underway Rebooting The Dystopian Action Classic For Q4 2025
Production is now underway in the UK for Edgar Wright’s iteration of The Running Man. Hit Man and Twisters star Glen Powell is starring along with Josh Brolin, Katy O’Brian, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones and William H. Macy. An action classic reboot of the 1987 TriStar release with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wright takes a page from “Richard Bachman” to provide something much closer to pennamed author Stephen King’s 1982 novel. Wright penned with co-scribe Michael Bacall and is producing alongside Simon Kinberg and Nira Park for the film’s November 2025 release. Based on the 1982 Stephen King novel, The Running Man centres around a deadly game show in which one man must outrun professional killers over 30 days to win a cash prize and save his sick child.

HIT MAN: Richard Linklater’s Latest Nabbed By Netflix For U.S. Amid Multi-Territorial Deal
Fresh out of premiering in Venice and most recently in Toronto, Netflix has acquired Hit Man, the new movie from Richard Linklater (School of Rock, Dazed and Confused). The film stars Glen Powell (The Expendables 3, Top Gun: Maverick) who penned the film with Linklater based on Skip Hollandsworth’s ‘Texas Monthly’ article. Shot on location in New Orleans in Louisiana, Hit Man sees Powell in the role of Gary Johnson: the most sought-after professional killer in New Orleans. To his clients, he is like something out of a movie: the mysterious gun for hire. But if you pay him to rub out a cheating spouse or an abusive boss, you’d better watch your back – he works for the cops. When he breaks protocol to help a desperate woman trying to flee an abusive husband, he finds himself becoming one of his false personas, falling for the woman and flirting […]
