In a future where the government controls the media, the rich get richer, and reality TV has gone full murder-thon, there’s only one way for a desperate dad to save his sick daughter: sign up for 30 days of televised parkour while being hunted by assassins in matching outfits. And no, it’s not a reboot of Wipeout, it’s the first trailer for The Running Man!
This updated take on the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger cult classic trades neon jumpsuits and flaming hockey sticks for sleek tech, darker satire, and Glen Powell doing cardio like his child’s life depends on it… because it actually does. Directed by Edgar Wright, the remake ditches the cheesy one-liners in favor of something closer to Stephen King’s original novel, which means more bleak dystopia and fewer moments where a guy gets chainsawed in half while Arnold quips, “He had to split!” (RIP, peak ‘80s cinema.)
So cancel your reality shows, because starting November 7, 2025, The Running Man is back, and it’s bloodier, grittier, and 100% less dad joke-y. Sorry, Arnold.
