Glen Powell On First Golden Globe Nom For ‘Hit Man’, How CAA Assistants Made Impact In Shaping Movie; Provides Updates On J.J. Abrams Secret Project


Glen Powell talks about his first Golden Globe nomination for 'Hit Man', JJ Abrams secret movie and Edgar Wright's 'The Running Man'

Powell was in London for the shoot of his next movie, Edgar Wright’s The Running Man when his family –who literally has cameo roles in the Paramount title– “stormed” into his hotel room screaming with glee over the Globes news. The movie which world premiered at TIFF during the strike in 2023 where it was snapped up by the streamer has been a passion project for Powell, his first learning about via Michael Costigan at Aggregate Films who turned the Top Gun 2 actor onto Skip Hollandsworth’s Texas Monthly piece about a humdrum professor who moonlights for the police department. “They believed in the bold decisions in the movie; a lot of things that made some people nerviouse, they were excited about,” adds Powell on how CAA staffers were integral in solving first act problems, as well as pace and clarity.
