Zero Mercy, Zero Survivors: New Featurette Breaks Down the Brutal World of “The Running Man”
The Deadliest Game Is About to Begin

What would you do if your only shot at saving your daughter meant stepping into the most brutal reality show on the planet? In The Running Man, that’s the nightmare Glen Powell’s character must face—where survival isn’t just unlikely, it’s statistically nonexistent.

Screenshot

A brand-new behind-the-scenes featurette, “Inside the World of The Running Man,” peels back the curtain on this adrenaline-charged thriller. With insight from director Edgar Wright and the film’s powerhouse cast—including Powell, Colman Domingo, and Josh Brolin—the video sets the stage for a game of survival unlike anything we’ve seen before.

Watch the Featurette Now:

Welcome to Tomorrow’s Most Twisted Reality Show

Set in a dystopian future obsessed with televised violence and spectacle, The Running Man reimagines Stephen King’s chilling novel for a new generation. Contestants—known as “Runners”—have 30 days to survive being hunted by a squad of professional killers, all while the nation watches live, hungry for blood and betting on their deaths.

Enter Ben Richards (Glen Powell), a desperate man with nothing left to lose. When the system leaves him no choice, he signs up for the deadly game, hoping to win enough to pay for his daughter’s medical treatment. But Ben quickly becomes more than just another Runner—he becomes a symbol of resistance.

Edgar Wright Levels Up the Action

Known for his high-octane storytelling (Baby Driver, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World), Edgar Wright brings a ferocious new energy to this adaptation. Unlike the 1987 cult classic, this version leans closer to King’s original novel—amplifying its societal critique, tension, and psychological thrills.

Wright explains in the featurette how he wanted the game to feel larger, more real, and more terrifying. It’s not just about action; it’s about the dehumanizing power of media and the moral rot at the heart of an entertainment-hungry culture.

Glen Powell Leads a Stacked Cast

Fresh off Top Gun: Maverick and Twisters, Glen Powell transforms into a gritty, grounded Ben Richards—a man pushed to the brink and beyond. In the featurette, Powell shares how this isn’t your typical hero’s journey. His Ben is messy, emotional, and dangerously unpredictable.

He’s joined by an all-star cast:
- Josh Brolin as Dan Killian, the show’s charismatic yet calculating producer.
- Colman Domingo, who adds gravitas and menace as a high-ranking player in the brutal game.
- Michael Cera, William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Emilia Jones, Katy O’Brian, Jayme Lawson, Sean Hayes, and Daniel Ezra round out the ensemble.
High Stakes. No Rules. Zero Survivors.

The film’s premise is terrifyingly timely. As audiences cheer for carnage, Ben’s rising popularity begins to threaten the very system that created the show. With each close call and narrow escape, the nation tunes in tighter—and the producers double down.

As Powell puts it, The Running Man isn’t just a survival thriller. It’s a commentary on how far we’ve come—or fallen—as a society addicted to watching others fail.

A Visual and Emotional Spectacle

From neon-lit streets to sprawling urban warzones, Wright’s vision turns the entire world into a stage—and every camera into a weapon. The cinematography blends kinetic energy with stark realism, making the viewer feel like they’re part of the chase.

Meanwhile, the emotional core of the story—Ben’s fight for his daughter—grounds the action in heartbreak and humanity. It’s these contrasts that make The Running Man pulse with urgency.

Mark Your Calendar: The Hunt Starts November 12

Get ready for a survival story that cuts deep. The Running Man opens exclusively in Philippine cinemas on November 12—and based on this featurette, it promises to be one of the year’s most unforgettable cinematic events.

Whether you’re a fan of high-stakes thrillers, satirical sci-fi, or just great performances, this is one race you’ll want a front-row seat for.

Watch your back. Trust no one. And remember: in this game, the only rule is survive.

First Look at “Scream 7”: Trailer, Poster, and Images Tease Ghostface’s Bloody Comeback
Hello, Sidney. Did You Miss Me?

The phone rings again—and this time, it’s personal. Horror icon Sidney Prescott returns to the screen in Scream 7, the chilling new chapter of the legendary slasher saga. The official trailer has just been released, along with the film’s electrifying new poster and a batch of first-look images that promise terror, legacy, and plenty of blood.

Directed by Scream creator Kevin Williamson, the film slashes its way into cinemas in February 2026.

A Legacy Reignited

Nearly three decades since the original scream shattered the silence, Sidney (Neve Campbell) faces a new kind of nightmare—one that threatens not just her, but her family. This time, the mask is back… and it’s after her daughter.

The movie also marks the triumphant return of Courteney Cox and a powerhouse cast including Isabel May, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Anna Camp, Joel McHale, Mckenna Grace, Michelle Randolph, Jimmy Tatro, Asa Germann, Celeste O’Connor, Sam Rechner, Ethan Embry, Tim Simons, and Mark Consuelos.

Watch the Trailer Here:

Official Synopsis: Family, Fear, and the Final Fight

In a quiet town far removed from the chaos of Woodsboro, Sidney Prescott has carved out a new life. But peace is short-lived. When a new Ghostface killer emerges, Sidney’s world is turned upside down. And when her daughter (played by Isabel May) becomes the next target, Sidney must confront the trauma of her past to protect the future of her family.

The stakes have never been higher. The blood has never run deeper.

Behind the Mask: Cast & Crew

Brought to life by Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group, Scream 7 is packed with genre pedigree. The film is:
- Directed by: Kevin Williamson
- Screenplay by: Kevin Williamson & Guy Busick
- Story by: James Vanderbilt & Guy Busick
- Produced by: William Sherak, James Vanderbilt, and Paul Neinstein
Based on characters originally created by Williamson himself, the franchise continues to evolve while honoring the spine-chilling spirit of the original.

First Look: A Taste of Terror

The first-look images tease a darker, grittier installment—blending eerie new settings with classic slasher suspense. One image shows Sidney clutching her daughter’s hand as they flee into the woods; another frames Ghostface in a blood-smeared mask, bathed in ominous red light.

The Countdown Begins

With Kevin Williamson back at the helm and Neve Campbell leading the charge, Scream 7 promises to be the most intense and emotionally charged film in the series yet. Old wounds are reopened. New nightmares awaken.

Yorgos Lanthimos Reunites with Emma Stone & Jesse Plemons in “Bugonia” — A Dark, Thrilling Tale of Paranoia and Abduction
Visionary filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos, the acclaimed director behind Poor Things and The Favourite, returns to the big screen with Bugonia — a provocative new thriller that digs into paranoia, conspiracy thinking, and the widening social divides fueled by technology. The film marks his latest collaboration with Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, following their acclaimed work together in Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness.

Lanthimos shares that the story is deeply rooted in the way people interpret — and misinterpret — the world around them.

“In the world that we live in now, people live in certain bubbles that have been enhanced by technology,” Lanthimos says. “Having certain ideas about people is reinforced depending on which bubble you live in, creating this big chasm between people. I wanted to challenge the viewer about the things that we’re very certain about, the judgment calls that you make about certain kinds of people. It’s a very interesting reflection of our society and the conflict in our contemporary world.”

Watch the Trailer:

A Dangerous Plot Led by Paranoia

In Bugonia, two young men — Teddy (Plemons) and Don (Aidan Delbis) — kidnap Michelle (Stone), a high-profile CEO. Their motive: an unshakeable belief, fueled by online conspiracy theories, that she is an alien intent on destroying Earth. As their panic intensifies inside the confines of a basement, their delusions and shifting perspectives create a warped battleground of fear, confusion, and misplaced conviction.

A Director at the Top of His Craft

Lanthimos is a six-time Academy Award–nominated filmmaker celebrated for his bold visual style and genre-defying stories. His most recent feature, Poor Things, earned the Golden Lion at the 2023 Venice Film Festival, garnered 11 Oscar nominations, and won four — including Best Actress for Emma Stone. His other internationally recognized films include:
- The Favourite
- The Lobster
- The Killing of a Sacred Deer
A Korean Classic, Reimagined

Bugonia is adapted from the 2003 Korean film Save the Green Planet! Screenwriter Will Tracy reinterpreted the story during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, channeling the period’s intensity and anxieties into the script.

“We were locked-down, and I was probably losing my mind a little bit in this little apartment in Brooklyn,” Tracy says. “I wrote it in about three weeks, and I’ve tried not to analyze it too much, but I’m sure something in that atmosphere made its way into the script – that claustrophobic feeling that I don’t think I would have been able to write if not in those circumstances.”

An Emotional Roller Coaster

Plemons recalls being struck by the film’s dynamic tone.

“The tone of it is so wild and varying — it’s so funny and so tragic, and the way into these very big conversations is so left-field and unexpected,” says Plemons. “It’s a really strange but honest portrait of the times we’re living in, how confusing and absurd it all is.”

Stone, who also produces the film alongside Lanthimos, describes Bugonia as intimate yet thematically vast.

“It has that sort of microcosmic quality,” says Stone, who produced the film with Lanthimos in their fifth project together. “There’s a sort of insanity and a commentary in the midst of a really small environment, which I think Yorgos tends to be drawn to. We’re in a basement, and it’s really just people talking to each other a lot of the time, having perspectives that feel maybe incorrect or twisted. But they reveal these different versions of humanity and what can happen in a downward spiral of convincing yourself of something.”

A Cinema-Sized Experience

Lanthimos insists that Bugonia is best seen on the biggest screen possible.

“Most films should be enjoyed like that, in a cinema with other people. It’s a communal experience, but especially this film, the way it’s filmed on VistaVision, a beautiful format, and the sound design that Johnnie Burn has done, along with Jerskin Fendrix’s score,” Lanthimos says. “It’s just a very full and dramatic experience, both in its hilarity and its horror, that can only be experienced fully in a cinema.”

Coming Soon to Philippine Cinemas

A gripping descent into fear and conviction awaits when Bugonia opens in Philippine theaters November 5.

Edgar Wright Directs. Glen Powell Stars. Stephen King Approves. “The Running Man” Hits Cinemas November 12

Why The Running Man is the Action-Thriller You Can’t Miss This November

Lights. Camera. Mayhem. The Running Man is racing into Philippine cinemas on November 12, and it’s not just another remake—it’s a bold, bloody, and brilliant reimagining of Stephen King’s high-stakes survival story. With an all-star cast, a visionary director, and a chillingly familiar world, this movie has everything you want in an edge-of-your-seat blockbuster.

Glen Powell is Ben Richards in The Running Man

Here are the top reasons you’ll want to book your tickets early.

It’s Based on a Stephen King Novel—Yes, THAT One

Published in 1982 under King’s pen name Richard Bachman, The Running Man imagines a dystopian future where a crumbling America turns its desperation into deadly entertainment. Set in a brutal, media-obsessed 2025, the film follows Ben Richards (played by Glen Powell), a working-class father forced to enter a horrifying game show where contestants—called “Runners”—are hunted by assassins on live TV.

With every passing day, the cash prize grows. So does the body count. But Ben isn’t just running for money—he’s running for his daughter, his dignity, and the truth.

And yes—Stephen King himself co-executive produces the film.

Director Edgar Wright on the set of Paramount Pictures’ “The Running Man,” starring Glen Powell.

Edgar Wright Brings His Signature Style—and the King’s Blessing

When it comes to directors with flair, Edgar Wright (Baby Driver, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) is in a league of his own. For The Running Man, Wright teamed up with co-writer Michael Bacall to stay truer to King’s novel than the 1987 Schwarzenegger version.

At the recent New York Comic Con, Wright joked that filming a faithful movie adaptation to The Running Man, where main protagonist Ben Richards plays the world’s deadliest game of hide-and-seek, running from city to city to escape his hunters, was exhausting. “But I’m proud of it,” he said. “It’s an expansive movie that was ambitious.”

Even better? Stephen King gave the film his personal stamp of approval. ‘It’s more faithful to the book to keep the fans happy, but different enough to keep me on my toes and excited.’”

Talk about a glowing review.

Glen Powell may have flown high in Top Gun: Maverick, but here, he’s in full beast mode. As Ben Richards, Powell is gritty, grounded, and surprisingly funny. He’s angry, sure—but also deeply human. The kind of hero you can root for, not just watch.

And when it comes to running? Powell had a little help from the best.

““I will say that all of my running technique did come straight from Tom [Cruise],” he shared at CinemaCon, recalling training with his Top Gun co-star. Add to that his stint with the all-star cast of The Expendables 3, and you’ve got an action star forged by legends.

The Villains? Deliciously Evil

What’s a great hero without some unforgettable villains?

Josh Brolin leads the dark side as Dan Killian, a charismatic TV executive who manipulates Richards into playing the game. Colman Domingo oozes showmanship as Bobby Thompson, the over-the-top host who turns murder into ratings gold. And Lee Pace? Absolutely chilling as McCone, the masked hunter who’s always a step ahead.

It’s a rogue’s gallery you’ll love to hate.

Surprise Stars Steal the Scene

Look out for two scene-stealing cameos from Michael Cera and William H. Macy. They may not be on screen for long, but their roles are vital to Ben’s journey—and may just become instant fan favorites. (Bonus: Cera reunites with Edgar Wright from Scott Pilgrim, bringing a fun easter egg for longtime fans.)

A World That’s Eerily Close to Home

The movie’s setting is technically futuristic, but it feels disturbingly now. Think: media spectacles, corporate greed, and a society obsessed with watching others fall. Wright describes it as “retro-futuristic”—like the 1980s imagined the future, and then it happened anyway.

From neon-drenched cities to high-stakes chases through broken streets, the world-building is both fascinating and terrifyingly real.

The Running Man opens only in cinemas nationwide this November 12.

Revisiting Dreams—and a Life That Went On

In “Bakit Ako Sinusundan ng Buwan?”, we follow a man (portrayed by Jemuel Satumba) who returns to his hometown after years of working abroad, hoping to reclaim lost dreams and restore what was taken from him. But as he revisits his past, he finds that life moved on without him—filled with uncertainty, longing, and the weight of time gone by.

More Than One Story to Tell

Also competing at the CAM festival is Legaspi’s short documentary Maliliit na Hakbang (Small Steps). This film follows the inspiring journey of the You‑Kalele Kids Zambales, a group of children from San Felipe, Zambales, who dream of a future in music despite personal limitations and external challenges.

Collaboration, Craft & Teamwork

The production of “Bakit Ako Sinusundan ng Buwan?” was achieved through the combined efforts of:
- Production house Red Room Media Productions under the Sine Halaga Film Festival and Educational Resources project of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) in partnership with Negros Cultural Foundation, Inc..
- Cinematographer Albert Banzon, editor John Lanbert Rafols, production designer Elvin Jay Macanlalay, art director Jane Legaspi, musical scorer Jay‑R Tabar, sound recordist Andrew Topacio, line producer Eloisa Espino‑Sanchez, production manager Kristin Joy Bactad‑Jor, assistant PM Cheyenne Dane Bellen, assistant cinematographer Rosendo Davad, assistant director Ryan Rudolf Valerio, production coordinators Ruston Banal and Gia Hasegawa, voice talent Ronwell Jason Bacani, and creative consultant Seymour Barros Sanchez.

On the documentary side, “Maliliit na Hakbang” was supported by production manager Karr Cotamora, videographer Angeline Tabilog, musical scorer Nityaila Saulo, and the efforts of Valerio, Espino‑Sanchez and Sanchez.

What the CAM International Festival Means

The CAM International Festival (organized by the Egyptian Arab Society for Culture, Media and Arts) was established to use cinema as a tool to combat ignorance, terrorism and poverty. The fact that Legaspi’s films will be showcased in this kind of platform underscores how Filipino voices are resonating on truly international, socially relevant platforms.

A Filipino Story, A Global Platform

Legaspi’s journey is a powerful example of how rooted local narratives—whether about the returning overseas worker or the aspiring children of Zambales—can find global relevance and acclaim. It’s exciting to see how these films bridge personal, local experience with broader human themes.
