Lee Pace Joins Glen Powell as Villain in Edgar Wright’s ‘The Running Man’


Josh Brolin and Katy O'Brien are already on the call sheet for Paramount's adaptation of the Stephen King novel.

The actor has closed a deal to join Glen Powell, Josh Brolin and Katy O’Brian ( Love Lies Bleeding) in The Running Man, Paramount’s adaptation of the Stephen King novel. King’s Running Man, published in 1982 and written under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, was set in 2025 in an America under a totalitarian regime that uses violent game shows to placate the disenfranchised masses. Pace is essentially the heavy of the movie, playing the brutal chief hunter for the network airing the game shows and tasked by the producer with tracking down Powell’s character.
