The new episode of the Speed Nguyen's Deep Dive Podcast discuss Edgar Wright's upcoming film, The Running Man, an adaptation of Stephen King's 1982 dystopian novel. Multiple sources highlight that this new version, starring Glen Powell, aims to be more faithful to the original book than the 1987 film adaptation featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger, which took significant liberties with the plot and tone. Reviews of the newly released trailer indicate mixed fan reactions, with some praising its intensity and adherence to the source material, while others compare it unfavorably to the earlier film or even The Hunger Games. The articles also detail the film's cast, including Josh Brolin and Michael Cera, its November 7, 2025 release date, and distinguish it from other upcoming Stephen King adaptations like The Long Walk and It: Welcome to Derry.
