Glen Powell to Star in Edgar Wright’s Stephen King Movie ‘The Running Man’ for Paramount

The filmmaker, whose work overflows with style and wit, most recently made the psychological horror film “Last Night in Soho.” His other credits include “Hot Fuzz,” “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” and “Baby Driver.” This summer brings another studio tentpole with “Twisters,” a follow-up to the 1996 blockbuster that finds Powell playing a storm chaser alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos.
