Glen Powell to Star in The Running Man for Edgar Wright


Glen Powell is set to star in a new adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Running Man” for Paramount Pictures and director Edgar Wright.

The film, which he produced alongside J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, chronicles a year in the cockpit with one of the world’s top aviator teams, the Navy and Marine Corps flight squadron, through their intense training and aerial touring show. Additionally, the very busy multihyphenate will co-create, executive produce, and star in the series “Chad Powers,” a half-hour comedy for Hulu based on an Eli Manning sketch about a quarterback whose college career ends after bad behavior. Additional past credits include Richard Linklater’s animated sci-fi film “Apollo 10 ½” for Netflix, the 2018 hit romantic comedy “Set it Up” opposite Zoey Deutch, Richard Linklater’s critically acclaimed comedy coming of age drama “Everybody Wants Some,” Ryan Murphy’s series “Scream Queens,” as well as the final installment of the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy, “The Dark Knight Rises.” He also voiced a role on Netflix’s animated adventure series “Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous” from Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall and Colin Trevorrow.
