Colman Domingo Joins Edgar Wright's THE RUNNING MAN Movie

Oscar-nominated actor Colman Domingo ("Fear the Walking Dead", "Sing Sing", "Rustin") has signed on to star in the new "The Running Man" movie directed by Edgar Wright ("Baby Driver", "Shaun of the Dead"). The film is based on the 1982 novel by Stephen King, which he published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, and was also very loosely adapted into the 1987 film of the same name starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Set in a dystopian America in the year 2025, the story follows Ben Richards, a desperate man who participates in a violent reality show called The Running Man to win enough money to help his gravely ill daughter. In the show Richards is chased by hunters sent to kill him. Glen Powell is set to play the lead role and Colman Domingo will play game show's host. The cast also includes Josh Brolin as a villainous TV executive, Karl Glusman, Katy O'Brian and Daniel Ezra.

The release date has beeen set for November 7, 2025. Wright is directing and co-writing the script with Michael Bacall, and will produce with his producing partner Nira Park and Simon Kinberg. George Linder will executive produce.
