The Love Lies Bleeding and Mission: Impossible 8 actress Katy O’Brian joins Glen Powell in Paramount’s redux of The Running Man helmed by Edgar Wright.
Edgar has co-written the script with Michael Bacall, Simon Kinberg, and Nira Park and will also produce it. The film will be released on Nov. 21, 2025. According to an insider with knowledge of the project, the new movie “is a more faithful adaptation” of the novel. The movie is based on Stephen King’s novel of the same name, which the author first published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman.
The story centred on one desperate man, who needs money for his sick daughter, and joins the most popular show, The Running Man, in which teams of killers hunt down contestants. The longer that a contestant survives, the more money that person makes. But as the game show’s producers and killers find out, this desperate man will break all the rules and expose the show’s dark secrets. Revealed by The Hollywood Reporter, Powell will take the role filled by Arnold in the 1987 film, where the framed police helicopter pilot is also forced into that violent game show. O’Brian will be portraying the role of one of the characters of the same show.
Most recently, O’Brien starred in “Twisters” alongside Powell and also starred opposite Kristen Stewart in Sundance breakout “Love Lies Bleeding.” Next up, she will be seen in “Mission: Impossible 8.”
