Paramount has ramped up the excitement by releasing the third and final official trailer for The Running Man, the dystopian thriller directed by Edgar Wright. Starring Glen Powell as Ben Richards, this version reboots Stephen King’s 1982 sci-fi novel for a new generation, rolling out a heart-pounding game show where survival isn’t just key—it’s everything. If the intense trailer is anything to go by, audiences are in for a nonstop adrenaline rush when the film premieres on November 14, 2025.
The story unfolds in a bleak future where an oppressive government controls the media and life is tough, especially for Ben—a man desperate to fund his sick child’s medical care. Volunteering for the titular deadly game show, Ben must survive 30 days while being hunted by lethal professional killers. The tagline might as well be: Run, hide, or die. But Ben’s grit and determination to save his family turn him from a desperate contestant into a symbol of rebellion, much to the game’s ruthless producer Dan Killian’s (Josh Brolin) chagrin.
The final trailer ramps up the stakes with fierce chases, brutal confrontations, and close calls that make survival look nearly impossible. The casting is a powerhouse mix, including veterans like William H. Macy, Michael Cera, and Lee Pace, adding depth to the high-octane narrative. Glen Powell brings layered emotion to Ben’s character, blending vulnerability with steely resolve that makes rooting for him impossible to resist.
Director Edgar Wright and co-writer Michael Bacall have carefully updated this classic story with modern sensibilities without losing Stephen King’s core message about media manipulation and societal control. The film’s dystopian satire bites hard, reminding viewers how spectacle and desperation can fuel dangerous entertainment. But underneath the chaos lies a powerful story about a father fighting for his family—and maybe even the chance to spark real change.
