Paramount Pictures has shared a new behind-the-senes look at production on Edgar Wright’s The Running Man. The film is currently slated to debut in UK and Irish cinemas on November 14, 2025.
The featurette, which you can watch in full below, shows off plenty of footage from the set of the film. Focussing on leading man Glen Powell, we get to see some of his training regime as well as the punishing stunt work he undertook on set.
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.
Based on the novel by Stephen King, The Running Man features a screenplay by director Edgar Wright and Michael Bacall. The film stars Glen Powell, William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Emilia Jones, Michael Cera, Daniel Ezra, Jayme Lawson with Colman Domingo and Josh Brolin.
