Director Edgar Wright and actor Glen Powell are bringing Stephen King's dystopian novel 'The Running Man' to life in a new adaptation, aiming for a faithful interpretation that contrasts with the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film. The movie is scheduled for release in November 2025.

One of Stephen King 's most thrilling dystopian stories is finding new life with a brand-new adaptation of The Running Man , directed by one of the most acclaimed directors living today and featuring a stellar ensemble cast.

7 Where Can You Watch 'The Running Man'? The Running Man's cruel and unusual games will be taking place exclusively in theaters once the film debuts in November 2025. The news of the film getting a wide theatrical release should hardly be a surprise.

The lengthy and prestigious supporting cast of The Running Man begins with The Batman star Jayme Lawson as Sheila, who is Ben Richards' wife in the book. Also, reportedly playing some major villains in the film are Avengers: Infinity War star Josh Brolin as a nefarious producer and Guardians of the Galaxy star Lee Pace will play one of the film's ruthless hunters. The Running Man will also be something of a reunion for both the film's lead star and director.
