Edgar Wright's Running Man Remake: A Stellar Cast Gets Even Better!
Edgar Wright's upcoming remake of Stephen King's The Running Man is shaping up to be something seriously epic, folks! And the cast keeps getting better. This movie's based on King's dystopian novel (written under his Richard Bachman pseudonym) and centers around a wrongfully imprisoned cop who must fight for survival in a deadly televised game show, if he hopes to survive. This really is a thrilling premise. There’s already some amazing talent on board, that includesGlen Powell(Top Gun: Maverick), starring as Ben Richards, andDaniel Ezra(All American).
But now,Deadlinereports that another talented actor just signed on:Karl Glusman(Civil War and Nocturnal Animals)! No word yet on his character but hey, more is better, right? We cannot possibly wait and expect a massive cinematic explosion upon release.
This casting shows a pattern. Wright's consistently choosing those high-potential actors. It started withPowell; he was amazing inTop Gun: Maverickand blew up even further afterward, and another up-and-comer;Katy O’Brian(who also stars inTwisters) joined the crew; showcasing more great additions, actors with a seriously awesome list of accomplishments.
This strategy continued with the amazing addition ofEzra; further solidifying how significant each actor already is. WithGlusman'simpressive resume–he worked with directors likeNic Winding Refn,Tom Ford,andAlex Garland–it’s completely clear; this remake focuses heavily on getting seriously in-demand, high-potential actors.Glusman'scollaboration withWright; a supremely talented director who makes some totally unique, interesting stories; just solidifies all that even further.
This casting shows thatWright’sRunning Manis focused on top talent. Glusman, known for choosing those creative, excellent directors, could actually make his career into something way bigger than ever anticipated. This opportunity withWrightwill probably be another milestone!
The remake is becoming that seriously exciting production. What more could it bring, in terms of additions for an already impressive ensemble cast? Let’s expect another flurry of high-profile additions as this continues!The sheer popularity is already attracting talent everywhere! We cannot possibly wait!
Edgar Wright'sRunning Manremake is shaping up perfectly! It's building this truly impressive cast,full of talent which demonstrates Wright’s dedication to making something amazing, something that all those long-time fans have deserved and which all the newcomers need to start expecting upon release, showcasing this completely different creative interpretation. Those previous shortcomings will not remain! There's going to be significant improvement upon those older shortcomings – we hope that Wright’s dedication would deliver.
