Courtesy of Mail Online (via SFFGazette.com), we have a first look at Twisters star Glen Powell as The Running Man's Ben Richards. The character was originally played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1987 classic which, like this movie, is based on the Stephen King novel of the same name.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World director Edgar Wright helms this new take which has assembled an impressive cast including Josh Brolin, Lee Pace, Katy O'Brian, Emilia Jones, and Michael Cera. None of them were present on set (at least not yet).

What do these photos shsw up? As you'll see by following the link in the X post below, Powell was spotted in costume at London's iconic Battersea Power Station. Dressed in an 80s-inspired ensemble, he's also surrounded by cars inspired by that period and uniformed guards teasing The Running Man's police state setting.

A masked character was also shown on the run,...

Glen Powell, known for his role in ‘Twisters’, has been seen on set as Ben Richards, a character famously portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the original 1987 film ‘The Running Man’, based on Stephen King‘s novel.

The upcoming remake, directed by Edgar Wright, promises an exciting new take with an ensemble cast including Emilia Jones, Michael Cera, Lee Pace, Katy O’Brian, and Josh Brolin, though they haven’t been spotted on location yet.

In a recent peek at London’s Battersea Power Station, courtesy of Mail Online, Powell’s outfit throws us back to the 80s.

The set buzzes with the vibe of that era, from cars to the uniformed guards that hint at the movie’s dystopian setting where reality TV pushes contestants to risk their lives for a shot at incredible wealth.

Adding to the intrigue, photos show a mysterious masked figure in mid-action, identity unknown. This hints...

Edgar Wright’s dystopian drama The Running Man starring Glen Powell has begun production in the UK for Paramount.

The feature is filming in London and also stars Josh Brolin, Katy O’Brian, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones and William H. Macy.

Based on the 1982 Stephen King novel, The Running Man centres around a deadly game show in which one man must outrun professional killers over 30 days to win a cash prize and save his sick child.

Wright penned the script with Michael Bacall and produces alongside Simon Kinberg and Nira Park. The film is slated for a November 2025 release, the year...

La adaptación de la novela de Stephen King contará con un elenco de lujo bajo la dirección de Edgar Wright.

¡Atención! The Running Man, la adaptación de la novela de Stephen King que dirige Edgar Wright (Baby Driver) para Paramount, no para de sumar nombres de lujo.

El primero en sumarse fue Glen Powell, quien encarnará al protagonista Ben Richards. Se dice que Powell superó en el casting a pesos pesados como Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans y Chris Hemsworth.

A Powell se unieron Josh Brolin (Dune) como el villano, Jayme Lawson (El Pingüino) en el papel de interés romántico, y nombres como Katy O’Brian (Twisters), Daniel Ezra (All American), Karl Glusman (Bikeriders. La ley del asfalto), Lee Pace (Foundation), Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim contra el mundo), Emilia Jones (Coda) y William H. Macy (El reino del planeta de los simios). Y quién sabe si nos sorprenden con alguno en el ya bien nutrido reparto.

Dave Bautista, Steven Yeun, Zoë Kravitz, Léa Seydoux, Riley Keough and Channing Tatum have joined the cast of ‘Alpha Gang’.

They join the previously announced casting of Cate Blanchett.

The film will centre on aliens sent on a mission to conquer Earth. Armed, dangerous and disguised in human form as an armed and dangerous 1950’s leather-clad biker gang they show no mercy — that is, of course, until they catch the human disease of emotion. Their plan for world domination is in danger of derailing once they start to feel joy, fear, empathy and love.

Edgar Wright’s remake of the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, The Running Man, is picking up speed. It was recently revealed that Josh Brolin has joined the cast along with Lee Pace and Michael Cera. Now, Deadline is reporting that William H. Macy is the latest notable name who has been added to the film. However, details of his character has not yet been disclosed.

Glen Powell (Twisters) stars in The Running Man as a “desperate man, needing money for his sick daughter, who joins the most popular show, The Running Man, in which teams of killers hunt down contestants. The longer that a contestant survives, the more money that person makes. But as the game show’s producers and killers will find out, this desperate man will break all the rules and expose the show’s dark secrets.” Josh Brolin (Avengers: Endgame) is also set to star as the ruthless...

Growing more impressive by the day, the cast for Edgar Wright’s Paramount pic The Running Man has added William H. Macy (Shameless) to its ranks.

Details as to Macy’s role are under wraps. He joins an ensemble led by Glen Powell, which will also include Josh Brolin, Karl Glusman, Katy O’Brian, Daniel Ezra, Lee Pace, Jayme Lawson, Michael Cera and Emilia Jones.

Based on the classic Stephen King novel written under pen name Richard Bachman, The Running Man is set in an oppressive future where the government controls the media. The story follows Ben Richards (Powell) as he volunteers to participate in a deadly game show, which will see him hunted by professional killers over the course of 30 days. Should he survive, he’ll win a cash prize that will help save his sick child and lift his family out of a horrid living situation.

Wright’s feature take is the second,...

William H. Macy has joined the ever-growing cast of The Running Man, Paramount’s adaptation of the Stephen King story from director Edgar Wright.

Glen Powell tops the call sheet that also includes names such as Josh Brolin, Katy O’Brian (Love Lies Bleeding), Lee Pace (Guardians of the Galaxy), Michael Cera and Coda star Emilia Jones.

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.

The novel centered on a desperate man named Ben Richards, needing money for his sick daughter, who joins the most popular show, The Running Man, in which teams of killers hunt down contestants.

Michael Cera and Emilia Jones have joined Glen Powell on the cast of Edgar Wright’s adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘The Running Man’.

Glen Powell will be taking on the role previously played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1987 classic.

Cera will play a naïve rebel who tries to help the desperate man, Jones will play a privileged woman blind to the oppression.

Josh Brolin, Katy O’Brian and Lee Pace have previously been announced on the cast for the feature that is due to shoot in London at the early of next year.

Also in news – Leo Woodall & Quintessa Swindell star in first look from series ‘Prime Target’

Based on King’s novel of the same name, the story is set in a dystopian America. A falsely convicted policeman gets his shot at freedom when he must forcibly participate in a TV game show where convicts and runners battle killers for their freedom.

Back in the 80s, Stephen King adaptations ruled the theaters. You could barely go a few months without hearing about a new film that was coming out. One that many would be surprised to find out was a King adaptation would be the testosterone-infused murder game show The Running Man. Released under King’s pseudonym, Richard Bachman, the book was hardly a hit. Once King was outed as the author, sales went through the roof. Hollywood came calling. With King being popular once again, another adaptation of the book is in the making.

What’s It About?

In the 80s adaptation, Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as a wrongfully convicted police officer. He gets a chance at freedom if he can survive the game show The Running Man. Of course, the game is rigged so that no one ever wins, but this time is different. They don’t know who they are messing with.

The Halloween season is nearly over. What does that mean, exactly? Fall is very firmly here and winter is just around the corner. November is coming to help us bridge the gap between spooky season and the Christmas season. It's the most wonderful time of year and Netflix has a lot of great stuff coming our way that month. It's a lot more than the live clown show that is "Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson." From beloved comedies to what is sure to be a new campy holiday classic, I've highlighted some of the best movies and TV shows coming to Netflix in November for viewers to stream. Let's get into it!

But as the game show’s producers and killers will find out, this desperate man will break all the rules and expose the show’s dark secrets.” Cera will play a “naïve rebel who tries to help the desperate man,” while Jones will play a “privileged woman blind to the oppression of the government opposite Powell’s Richards.“

Michael Cera and Emilia Jones are lacing up their shoes for The Running Man.

Both actors have closed deals to join Glen Powell in Paramount’s adaptation of the Stephen King story that is being directed by Edgar Wright. For Cera, the move reunites him with the filmmaker behind one of his beloved roles, that of romantic slacker Scott Pilgrim from 2010’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

Josh Brolin, Katy O’Brian (Love Lies Bleeding) and Lee Pace are already on the call sheet for the feature that is due to shoot in London at the top of next year.

For today’s Gen-z kids, The Big Bang Theory and Friends might be some of the shows that they feel are iconic. But long back in the 80s, aired a show that changed the definition of sitcoms and grew a massive fan base across the US.

Yes, we are talking about NBC’s Cheers, which ran successfully from 1982 until its series finale in 1993. Critically acclaimed and loved by many during its original run, the series is one of the best sitcoms.

Cheers is hilarious, intelligent, fast-paced, heartfelt, peopled by unforgettable characters, and consistently good. The story revolves around a Boston bar, owned by Sam Malone (Ted Danson), a former relief pitcher, and has several other main characters, who either work in the bar or visit it regularly.

Decades later after its final run, let’s take a look at where some of the Cheers‘ major cast members are now!

Considering that so many sitcom contemporaries of Gilligan’s Island — The Brady Bunch, Bewitched, Beverly Hillbillies, Get Smart, The Addams Family — were made into feature films, it’s kinda weird that the show’s exotic locales and inherent live-or-die stakes didn’t get the same treatment. As it turns out, it wasn’t for lack of trying.

There have been multiple attempts to bring Gilligan and pals to the big screen, but like the S.S. Minnow, every one of them crashed into the rocks. For example, when the show’s creator, Sherwood Schwartz, was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ Hall of Fame in 2008, he announced that he and his son Lloyd had just inked a deal for a Gilligan’s Island feature film. The agreement “just happened in the last 48 hours,” Schwartz told TV Guide. “I can’t take this much excitement at my age.”

"This may be their last... Christmas Eve in Miller's Point. So it's time to make this one count." IFC Films has revealed the official trailer for an indie ensemble comedy non-narrative film called Christmas Eve in Miller's Point, a sort of vintage, nostalgic trip back in time to an awkward Christmas Eve. This premiered in the Directors' Fortnight sidebar at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival back in May, and opens in US theaters starting in November this fall. On Christmas Eve, a rambunctious extended family gathers for what could be the last holiday in their ancestral home. As the night wears on and generational tensions arise, one of the teens sneaks out with her friends to claim the wintry suburb for her own. The cast includes Michael Cera, Elsie Fisher, Maria Dizzia, Gregg Turkington, Matilda Fleming, Lev Cameron, Ben Shenkman, and Sawyer Spielberg. Yes it has a cast of famous youngsters,...

The best holiday movie of the season, Ham on Rye director Tyler Taormina expanded his star power with Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point, which brings together Michael Cera, Elsie Fisher, Maria Dizzia, Sawyer Spielberg, Francesca Scorsese, and many more. After premiering at Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, IFC Films picked it up for a November 8 release and now the first trailer has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: “On Christmas Eve, a family gathers for what could be the last holiday in their ancestral home. As the night wears on and generational tensions arise, one of the teenagers sneaks out with her friends to claim the wintry suburb for her own.”

Rory O’Connor said in his Cannes review, “The setting and production design are so rich with authenticity and detail that fans of The Bear might be tempted to draw comparisons with a famous episode in season two, but...

Sherwood Schwartz's 1964 sitcom "Gilligan's Island" was a pop-cultural powerhouse, attracting a mass audience larger than any of the CBS executives expected. While many critics and audience members criticized the show for being silly, unrealistic, and simplistic, it nonetheless lasted for three hit seasons, and was put into eternal syndication, staying alive in reruns for decades. What's more, the series warranted numerous TV movie sequels and spinoffs, including a 1981 TV movie wherein Gilligan (Bob Denver) and the other castaways met the Harlem Globetrotters -- called, helpfully, "The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island" -- and an animated series wherein the castaways became stranded on a distant planet (!). Yes, "Gilligan's Planet" is a thing.

The spinoffs retained all the original cast members, with the exception of Tina Louise, whose character, Ginger, was played by various other actors. Curiously, the Globetrotters movie was the last time an original "Gilligan's Island" project graced the screen.

Get ready because the pink wave of Barbie might just be rolling back in for a sequel! After a stunning release on July 21, Margot Robbie starrer opened with a bang, raking in a jaw-dropping $162 million during its debut weekend. But now, fans are buzzing with a burning question: Is Barbie 2 on the horizon?

The world of Barbie is practically bursting with potential for sequels and spinoffs. After all, this doll can do it all: doctor, president, beauty queen—you name it! In today’s franchise-obsessed landscape, where superheroes and high-octane blockbusters reign supreme, it’s no wonder that Barbie and her parent company, Mattel, are eyeing their next cinematic ventures. In fact, Mattel announced plans for over 45 movies based on their beloved toys. Barbie vs. Polly Pocket, anyone? Now, that could outshine even the latest Mission: Impossible flick!

It’s October now, which means that the temporary haunted house business is in full swing. If you’re not interested in exploring the monster-filled dreamscape of the dude from Fever Pitch, there’s always Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights. The popular annual attraction features various spooky mazes inspired by movies and TV shows including A Quiet Place, Insidious and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, which may or may not end with a scare actor dressed as Dan Aykroyd popping out of a wall and forcing you to buy his vodka.

The event rarely takes inspiration from comedies, but in 2015, Universal unveiled a haunted maze based on a Seth Rogen movie. While one could argue that The Green Hornet is Rogen’s most horrifying work to date, the maze was actually themed around This Is the End.

This Is the End starred Rogen, James Franco, Danny McBride and Jay Baruchel as fictional...

After starring as Johnny Storm in Fantastic Four and before stealing our hearts as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Chris Evans played a role in yet another film adapted from comic books – Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. However, instead of his usual hero roles, the actor played one of the seven villains in the film – Lucas Lee.

Lucas Lee plays a stereotypical Hollywood actor who basically seems like a total douchebag. Anyone who has seen Chris Evans outside of his reel life, perhaps in the countless interviews he has done, would vouch for the fact that the guy is an absolute ball of joy. So, how did he play Lucas Lee to such perfection? Even he was confused when he got compliments on nailing the role!

The 2024 edition of the Hamptons International Film Festival (Hiff) has finally unveiled its Opening Night selection — and a partial lineup.

Hiff opens with the east coast premiere of R.J. Cutler’s “Martha” documentary about the life and legacy of Martha Stewart.

Cutler previously directed the definitive Anna Wintour and Vogue documentary “The September Issue.”

Amy Schumer’s Life & Beth is no longer.

Hulu has canceled the dramedy after two seasons. The move is not a huge surprise as the second season finished in February, and while Hulu obviously didn’t release any viewing data, it failed to crack Nielsen’s streaming list.

Written, directed, executive produced and starring Schumer, Life & Beth follows Beth (Schumer), whose life looks pretty great on paper. Impressive to everyone she grew up with, she makes a good living as a wine distributor. She’s in a long-term relationship with an attractive, successful guy and lives in Manhattan. But when a sudden incident forces her to engage with her past, her life changes forever.

It’s the end of the line for Life & Beth.

Hulu has canceled the dramedy, created by and starring Amy Schumer, after two seasons. The second (and now final) installment of the show debuted on the Disney-owned streamer in February.

The series follows Beth (Schumer), a woman with “a cool job, a great apartment” and a boyfriend (Kevin Kane) “who’s a New York eight,” as she says in the show’s first episode, who comes to realize how dissatisfied she is with her life. After moving back to her childhood home on Long Island, she considers restarting her life and develops a relationship with a local guy (Michael Cera).

Based on the comic series by Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead), Invincible follows Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), the son of an extraterrestrial superhero known as Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons). Mark later inherits his father’s abilities, including great strength, flight, speed, and some invulnerability, and becomes the superhero known as Invincible. He also discovers that his father’s race, the Viltrumites, doesn’t exactly have peaceful intentions toward Earth. In addition to Steven Yeun and J.K. Simmons, Invincible also features the voices of Sandra Oh, Seth Rogen, Gillian Jacobs, Andrew Rannells, Zazie Beetz, Mark Hamill, Walton Goggins, Jason Mantzoukas, Mae Whitman, and more.

As far as how many seasons Invincible could last,...

Is there anything Maya Rudolph can’t do? It’s a serious question, as the comedy superstar reigns as this year’s Emmy nominations Mvp. Rudolph earned four nominations — a stunning achievement in itself, but made even more impressive because those nods come from three different programs. She’s nominated in comedy lead actress for Apple TV+’s “Loot” (just renewed for a third season), in character voice-over for her role as Connie the Hormone Monstress in Netflix’s animated “Big Mouth,” and in comedy guest actress for her hosting stint on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” (which also got her an original music and lyrics nod for her monologue tune).

It’s quite a year for Emmy overachievers. Several acting stars also landed writing noms, like Quinta Brunson (“Abbott Elementary”), Richard Gadd (“Baby Reindeer”) and Donald Glover (“Mr. & Mrs. Smith”). Others nominated thesps are also producers on their nominated best series.

Gen X kids grew up with a steady after-school diet of Gilligan’s Island, a show that, despite its pop-culture ubiquity, only lasted three seasons. Maybe that was because there were only so many ways for seven castaways to try (and fail) to escape a desert island. But the show’s producer, Sherwood Schwartz, foresaw that shortcoming and had plans to mix it up if the show continued to get renewed.

Only one more season of being stranded was the plan, Schwartz told the Muncie Evening News via MeTV. “I hoped from the outset that the show would go for four years with them on the island,” he explained. “But I’ve had a projected escape in the back of my mind.”

Schwartz’s bonkers plan sounds like a cross between Fantasy Island and White Lotus. “Should they get rescued, or should the ratings go down, or should we feel...

Late Night with Seth Meyers: Michael Cera, Daisy Edgar-Jones, James Bay...

I’ll never forget the first time I saw Sausage Party. I loved every crude minute of that animated comedy. Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, and crew took food to a whole new level. And now, you may have caught some of the eight episode event, Sausage Party: Foodtopia. Frankly, I dig the series more than the film! I love the additional cast that includes Edward Norton and the amazing Sam Richardson. Much like the movie, the series is crude, rude, and yet it’s suprisingly sweet.

Seth Rogen is the best. I love talking to this fine gentleman. And I feel the same about the incredible Kristen Wiig and Sam Richardson. All three are incredibly kind, and so damn funny. I was really happy to sit down with the three in-person. But where to begin? Well, I thought it would be fun to get right to it to the conversation.

Sausage Party: Foodtopia features a massive cast of A-listers featuring the voices of Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, Edward Norton, and many more. 

The new animated Amazon Prime Video series acts as the sequel to 2016's Sausage Party. It continues the misadventures of its food-based protagonists led by Seth Rogen's Frank as they navigate in a world where they successfully revolt against humanity. 

Things take a turn for the worse, however, when they realize the difficulties of living in a world where humans are not the dominant species.

When the film Sausage Party was first announced way back in 2010, some journalists expressed scepticism that it was even real. Surely no studio would fund an R-rated feature film about animated talking food with graphic scenes of murder, violence and sex? But no. Sausage Party was very real, and if you don’t remember it from nearly a decade ago, it’s easy to feel like it was some sort of fever dream.

Like that original film, this eight-episode TV sequel — which sees much of the voice cast return, including Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, David Krumholtz, and Edward Norton — is the sort of creation that does beggar belief. How did this even get made? That’s not even a quality assessment. It is just slightly mind-boggling that it exists. You will ponder this from Episode 1, when — in the aftermath of the food-human war,...

Eight years after the release of Sausage Party, Seth Rogen is revisiting the world of talking food with new series Sausage Party: Foodtopia.

The show follows up the war against humans that took place in the film, as hot dog Frank (voiced by Rogen, who is also an executive producer) and his grocery store friends establish a safe haven that quickly goes awry. Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, David Krumholtz and Edward Norton reprise their voice roles, with Will Forte, Natasha Rothwell, Sam Richardson and Yassir Lester among the new additions.

“We always hoped to do more, honestly,” Rogen told The Hollywood Reporter at the Los Angeles premiere on Wednesday. “We kept thinking about it, we kept making jokes about it; it was a thing we kind of never stopped talking about and never stopped enjoying the idea of.”

Of opting to do a follow-up series rather than a sequel film,...

Now that Frank (voiced by Seth Rogan) has exposed the truth about “The Great Beyond” to his food friends, it is time for the collected hot dogs, bagels, buns, condiments, and fruits to set up their own society so that they don’t risk the fate of being eaten. In the new adult animated series “Sausage Party: Foodtopia,” the star-studded voice cast will have you in stitches with their spicy, food-focused humor. The eight-episode first season premieres on Prime Video on Thursday, July 11. You can watch all of the episodes now with a 30-Day Free Trial of Amazon Prime Video.
