Glen Powell’s "Running Man" Poster: A Thrilling Glimpse

Thescreescore – Glen Powell is seen in a desperate fight for survival in an exclusive 4DX poster for the upcoming film, The Running Man. This new adaptation of Stephen King’s 1982 novel, written under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, promises a more faithful retelling of the dystopian thriller. Powell takes on the role of Ben Richards, a working-class man forced to participate in a deadly game show where he must evade pursuers for 30 days to win a billion-dollar prize.

The film boasts an impressive cast, including Michael Cera, Colman Domingo, Josh Brolin, and William H. Macy. The Running Man also marks Edgar Wright’s return to narrative filmmaking after four years, reuniting him with screenwriter Michael Bacall following their collaboration on Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

With its release date of November 14th fast approaching, thescreescore.com is thrilled to exclusively reveal the 4DX poster for The Running Man. The artwork depicts Powell’s Richards leaping from a building window, pursued by gunmen on multiple floors, with futuristic helicopters and the ominous Games Network building looming in the background.

Beyond aiming for a more faithful adaptation of King’s novel, The Running Man seeks to continue the author’s recent streak of successful adaptations. Following the success of The Monkey, King’s works have dominated screens, including the acclaimed adaptation of The Long Walk, which spent nearly four decades in development.

King’s influence extends to television as well, with MGM+’s The Institute achieving significant streaming numbers and securing a second season. The recently premiered IT: Welcome to Derry has also garnered positive reviews, with plans for at least three seasons.

The 4DX poster highlights the film’s suitability for the immersive theatrical format. With practical effects and motion seats, Wright’s action-packed direction promises an explosive and unique cinematic experience, reminiscent of Powell’s Twisters sequel. The Running Man looks to be one of the best experiences for the unique theatrical format.
