The trailer for Edgar Wright's remake of The Running Man -- okay I suppose we can call it a new adaptation of Stephen King's story, whatever -- has arrived and it looks like an absolute blast. I knew I was in for something special the second we saw Glen Powell smacking his tighty-whities-clad ass two times. We kept a running tally of people who got cast in this last year and the names were wild -- Colman Domingo, Josh Brolin, Michael Cera, Katy O'Brian, Lee Pace, Karl Glusman, Sean Hayes, and William H. Macy just to name the bigger names -- but the trailer mainly focuses on Glenn, Michael, Josh and of course Colman in the greatest showman role previously made iconic by Richard Dawson. And is it just me or...
... is Colman going to get a lot of comparisons to Tramell Tillman's showstopping work in the TV series Severance? That's all I could see. But lord knows I love Colman and he seems to be having a helluva time so bring it on. Everything looks hella fun actually -- this is definitely Wright bringing that sweet sweet Scott Pilgrim energy. (And the presence of Cera obviously underlines that.) I don't think I spotted Glusman or Pace though -- do you think one of them is that masked man with the grenade? I'll have to go back and listen to the voice. Anyway watch:
The Running Man (2025 edition) is out on November 7th.
How the hell is this not a summer movie???
AHHHHH Dinner!

ReplyDeleteIt looks like garbage in mobile view because the site is set to custom sizes but if that's what someone wants have at it - it makes me angry and crazy looking at it that way though
DeleteYou're absolutely right it does! 😂 But coming here from Bluesky on my phone it is much easier to read (and see the pics). But yeah I see how this pains you I'm sorry. Came back here to say thank you for doing it though. ❤️
DeleteI watched the trailer and did a triple take when he said, "You can kiss my ass twice," and then it cut to him tapping it twice. I rewound it to make sure I saw what I saw. Brilliant marketing.
ReplyDeleteWay too many "names" in one movie. Bad sign.
