Millions Hunt. One Runs. Everyone Watches.
Edgar Wright, the acclaimed filmmaker behind Baby Driver and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, is back with a pulse-pounding dystopian thriller, The Running Man, set to hit Philippine cinemas on November 5. And the first official trailer has just dropped—giving audiences a heart-racing preview of a world where survival is prime-time entertainment.
Starring Top Gun: Maverick breakout star Glen Powell, alongside Josh Brolin and Colman Domingo, The Running Man reimagines the chilling tale of a televised death game for a new generation.
In a not-so-distant future, the number one show on air isn’t a talent contest—it’s a bloodsport. Contestants, called Runners, must evade skilled assassins for 30 days to win freedom and fortune, all while the world watches with morbid fascination.
Powell takes on the role of Ben Richards, a desperate father who enters the game in a last-ditch effort to afford treatment for his ailing daughter. But what begins as a sacrifice quickly turns into rebellion, as Ben’s resilience transforms him into an unexpected hero—and a threat to the system that profits off death and spectacle.
The newly released trailer showcases fast-paced action, electrifying chase sequences, and a dangerously seductive glimpse into the dark side of media consumption. True to Wright’s signature style, the film blends slick visuals with biting social commentary—holding up a mirror to our own obsession with entertainment at any cost.
