Edgar Wright tager sig som regel ret god tid med sine projekter, og sidste gang han gav os noget der i hvert fald lignede en action-film var Baby Driver i 2017. Men nu er han godt og grundigt tilbage, og det er med den ambitiøse The Running Man, et remake der er baseret på Stephen Kings berømte roman.
Den lander endelig den 7. november, og har Glen Powell, Josh Brolin og mange andre i hovedrollerne.
"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 favorite—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."
