Alan Ritchson, Owen Wilson Commence Queensland Shoot for ‘Runner’


Queensland, Australia has scored another Hollywood production with action-thriller 'Runner,' led by 'Reacher' star Alan Ritchson and Owen Wilson.

The film, which began shooting March 31 in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, follows high-end courier Hank Malone (Ritchson) tasked with delivering a life-saving organ to a seven-year-old girl. “Runner” comes on the heels of “Bear Country,” which just wrapped production on March 23 in the same region with a star-studded cast including Russell Crowe, Aaron Paul, Teresa Palmer, Nina Dobrev and Luke Evans. The film joins a growing slate of Queensland-based productions in 2025, including “Anaconda,” “Fing!,” “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” (Season 2), “Spa Weekend” and “Voltron.” The region recently delivered “Black Snow,” “Darby and Joan,” “Good Cop/Bad Cop,” “Nautilus,” “Spit” and “The Lost Tiger,” with “Dangerous Animals” and “Mortal Kombat 2” set for release later this year.
