This fall sees the long-awaited release of The Running Man, Edgar Wright’s high-octane adaptation of the Stephen King novel. The action-thriller stars Glen Powell in the role of Ben Richards, a desperate everyman forced to enter a deadly game show in a not-so-distant dystopian America — and judging by our intense exclusive image, things are not going well for him. As part of Collider's Exclusive Preview event, we're delighted to reveal a new look at Powell in the film. We can also share a delightful chat we had with Wright, one of the world's most exciting directors of kinetic and stylized action.

Wright, known for genre-defining cult favorites like Shaun of the Dead and Baby Driver, is promising something darker and more faithful to King’s original story — and a whole lot rougher than the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger version. The director says that when describing the movie to new audiences,...

Glen Powell may be closing the door on ever joining the ranks of superpowered heroes in the Marvel or DC universes.

In a recent interview with Empire Magazine, the Top Gun: Maverick and Twisters star revealed he's not particularly drawn to roles that involve capes, cosmic powers, or mutant abilities.

“I just don’t identify with people with superpowers for the most part,” Powell explained, discussing what led him to take on the role of Richards in the upcoming remake of The Running Man. “I like the ordinary guy against extraordinary odds. The entire world is hunting this man, trying to kill him. Can he survive? Can he save his family? That’s a great, simple story.”

Powell's comments seem to dash fan hopes of seeing him play characters like Aquaman or Nova, popular choices in recent fancast discussions.

However, his preference for grounded, human stories doesn’t completely shut...

All American fans, rejoice! The critically acclaimed show has been renewed for its eighth and final season on The CW. But when will it come out? Here, we break down everything there is to know about All American Season 8. Inspired by the life of NFL player Spencer Paysinger, All American follows football player Spencer James (Daniel Ezra) as he pursues his dreams of playing for the NFL. It is a show about identity, ambition, and staying true to one’s roots as Spencer tries to balance two worlds: Compton, where he grew up, and Beverly Hills, where he was recruited to play high school football. After Ezra stepped down from series regular in Season 6, Season 7 focused on his friends, Jordan (Michael Evans Behling), Layla (Greta Onieogou), and Coop (Bre-z), and a new group of high schoolers searching for their dreams. Since the first episode aired in 2018, the show has amassed a steady fanbase,...

We have finally been gifted with the first footage from Hot Fuzz and Baby Driver director Edgar Wright’s remake of the Stephen King classic, The Running Man. And while fans have no doubt been pouring over the surprisingly action-packed footage looking for clues and Easter eggs, there is one major cameo you definitely missed. He’s always promising that he’ll be back...

After fans quickly noticed the glorious sight of action movie icon and Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger adoring some The Running Man universe’s money (and looking very presidential while doing so), fans have since taken to social media to celebrate the cameo, with some taking it as a great sign of what’s to come in the remake.

“Already can tell the production and art design team absolutely Crushed #RunningManMovie. Look at their ode to 1987’s runner, Arnold Schwarzenegger!” said X/Twitter user and critic @Lulamaybelle,...

The full trailer for The Running Man is finally here, and it’s already making waves. Directed by Edgar Wright, this new version of the story looks intense, gritty, and full of action. It’s not a remake of the old 1987 movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Instead, it’s based more closely on the original 1982 novel by Stephen King, written under his pen name, Richard Bachman.

Glen Powell plays Ben Richards, the main character who ends up on a brutal game show where survival is the only way to win. Contestants get hunted down on live TV while the world watches. If they make it out alive, they get a big cash prize. But most don’t. The whole thing takes place in a broken-down future where the show is the biggest thing on television, and people are glued to it.

Edgar Wright,...

A brand-new version of The Running Man is on the way, and it looks like it’s going to be a wild ride. The first full trailer has just been released, and fans are finally getting a closer look at what director Edgar Wright has been working on.

This isn’t a remake of the 1987 film with Arnold Schwarzenegger; it’s a fresh take that sticks more closely to the original book by Stephen King, who wrote it under the name Richard Bachman.

The movie stars Glen Powell as Ben Richards, a man thrown into a deadly game show where he has to run for his life while being hunted. The prize? A big pile of cash, but only if he survives. The story is set in a dark future where the world is falling apart, and this game show is the biggest thing on TV. It’s violent, intense,...

Paramount Pictures has unveiled the first official trailer, teaser poster and film stills for Edgar Wright’s long-gestating update of The Running Man, setting social media alight ahead of its 7 November 2025 release in Dolby Cinema, 4Dx, ScreenX, Premium Large Formats and IMAX.

The original 1987 blockbuster, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as desperate everyman Ben Richards, transformed Stephen King’s dystopian novella into an all-out satirical bloodsport, and Wright’s version promises to honour that spirit while injecting his trademark kinetic humour and visual flair.

This time, Hollywood’s rising star Glen Powell steps into the role of Richards, a factory worker driven to enter a lethal televised game show when his young daughter’s medical bills spiral out of control. Josh Brolin reprises the role of the charmingly ruthless producer Dan Killian, the architect of a nationwide spectacle in which “Runners” must evade professional assassins for thirty days in order to claim a life-changing cash prize.

The countdown is on. The first trailer for Edgar Wright’s The Running Man has arrived — and with it, Glen Powell is officially stepping into the arena. The action-packed reimagining of Stephen King’s dystopian classic hits theaters on November 7, and the new footage promises a brutal, breathless ride with Powell leading the charge as Ben Richards, a desperate man forced to survive a state-sanctioned death game for a shot at saving his daughter.

Powell, 36, isn’t the only one impressed by what Wright’s cooked up. At this year’s CinemaCon, none other than Tom Cruise watched the teaser alongside Powell — and according to Powell, the Mission: Impossible icon was blown away.

“Watching that teaser with Tom Cruise is a memory I will never forget. He was so stoked after watching it. What’s been amazing about my relationship with Tom is the fact he’s a guy that doesn’t hide his excitement.

The film stars Glen Powell as Ben Richards, a desperate father who enters a deadly reality competition in a bid to provide for his family.

After a bit of uncertainty from Warner Bros. Discovery over the budget, All American is heading back to the gridiron one final time. The young adult series is officially lined up for an eighth season at The CW, with showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll and co-showrunner Jamie Turner returning to lead the charge in what will be the final chapter of the Baker family's story. The news comes just under a month after a cliffhanger Season 7 finale that left the door wide open for more high school football drama, assuming the higher-ups were game. A premiere date hasn't been set yet, but The CW has confirmed the final 13 episodes will be released sometime in 2026.

Season 7 completely changed the game for All American, after the series had largely followed the rise of Spencer James (Daniel Ezra) from high school star to Super Bowl champion by the end of Season 6. With his story...

It's not the end of the road for All American just yet. The CW has renewed the fan-favorite sports drama series for a 13-episode eighth and final season, which will debut in 2026.

Per Variety, The CW confirming thatAll American will end after Season 8 means that, come 2026, there will be no scripted series left on the network that premiered before its acquisition by Nexstar. The renewal also keeps All American on the air far longer than any of the other remaining CW originals that launched prior to Nextstar's purchase, as Superman & Lois, Walker, and All American: Homecoming all concluded in 2024. Under Nexster, The CW has primarily focused on reality and unscripted content, with much of its scripted slate coming in the form of licensed content and/or co-productions from companies in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

"All American is one of the greatest CW shows of all time and...

The CW show All American’s season 8 renewal comes with some sad news about the fate of the show. The sports drama All American is the last scripted show on the CW from before Nexstar's acquisition, and the show is widely considered one of the greats. Even though Daniel Ezra's Spencer James was originally the focus of the show, many characters exited before All American, forcing the show to shift focus to Michael Evans Behling's Jordan, Greta Onieogou's Layla, and Bre-z's Coop in season 7.

Not even a major narrative change could keep the series down, with All American season 7's cliffhanger ending keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. Luckily, just one month after the release of season 7's finale, Varietyhas confirmed that All American will return for season 8, which will unfortunately be its last. The showrunner, Nkechi Okoro Carroll made an emotional statement...
