Glen Powell and director Edgar Wright was in town today for Paramount’s CinemaCon presentation which featured the first footage from Edgar Wright’s Stephen King adaptation The Running Man.
Co-stars Josh Brolin and Colman Domingo were also in tow.
The Running Man is set in an oppressive future where the government controls the media. The story follows Ben Richards (Powell) as he volunteers to participate in a deadly game show, which will see him hunted by professional killers over 30 days. Should he survive, he’ll win a cash prize that will help save his sick child and lift his family out of a horrid living situation.
“We literally just finished shooting less than a week ago,” said Wright.
Domingo, who is the announcer in the movie, set up the clip.
Powell’s casting was first revealed at last year’s Paramount CinemaCon show. Also starring are William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Emilia Jones, Michael Cera, Daniel Ezra and Jayme Lawson with Colman Domingo and Josh Brolin.
Par has a November 7 domestic release date set. Producers are Simon Kinberg, Nira Park and Wright.
