Based on Stephen King's 1982 novel of the same name, 'The Running Man' (1987) centres on Ben Richards, a falsely convicted policeman in dystopian America who gets his shot at freedom when he must forcibly participate in a TV game show where convicts must battle killers for their freedom.

The trailer begins with Glen Powell's character in Union Place off Gordon Street near to Glasgow Central station, with other Glasgow locations such as the SEC Armadillo, The OVO Hydro, Cadogan Square and the Savoy Centre also noticeable in the trailer. Speaking about the reboot in December 2023, director Edgar Wright, the English filmmaker behind 'Hot Fuzz', 'Baby Driver' and 'Shaun of the Dead', explained that the reboot would not necessarily be a remake of the 1987 movie, but a more faithful adaptation of Stephen King's novel. The 1987 movie, which was a moderate box office success in the United States, is now considered something of a cult classic. The Running Man is set to be released by Paramount on November 21, 2025.

Roger Waters Is Back As Fans Can't Get Enough Of His (Former) Band's Masterpiece
Roger Waters' The Dark Side of the Moon Redux returns to four U.K. charts, while the original album ... More continues its own impressive run. GLASGOW, SCOTLAND - JUNE 02: Roger Waters performs on stage at The OVO Hydro on June 02, 2023 in Glasgow, Scotland. (Photo by Roberto Ricciuti/Redferns) Pink Floyd has never faded away on the charts, thanks primarily – but not exclusively – to one of the bestselling albums of all time. This week, the legendary band is once again found on the U.K. rankings. Decades after the group reshaped rock music, its most iconic release is climbing the ranks once more — alongside a newer take from one of its founding members. While The Dark Side of the Moon continues to sell and stream well, Roger Waters celebrates his own chart wins with his reinterpretation of that same classic, The Dark Side of the Moon Redux. This week, The Dark Side of the Moon Redux is back on four different rankings across the U.K., proving there's still major demand for any version of Pink Floyd's legendary album. Among the four rankings it appears on this frame, The Dark Side of the Moon Redux climbs into the top 10 on half of them. It performs best on the Official Rock & Metal Albums list, where it rockets back to No. 4. The release also returns to the Official Vinyl Albums tally, coming in at No. 9. The same release also makes it into the top 20 on two other U.K. rankings focused on purchases. The Dark Side of the Moon Redux settles at No. 17 on the Official Physical Albums chart and appears just behind that at No. 18 on the Official Album Sales roster. While its current success is impressive, it's worth noting that The Dark Side of the Moon Redux has already reached the top of each of the four charts it returns to this week. The set has now spent 13 frames somewhere on the Official Rock & Metal Albums ranking, seven periods on both the Official Album Sales and Official Physical Albums lists, and just three on the Official Vinyl Albums chart. A super deluxe box set of The Dark Side of the Moon Redux dropped on March 14. The expanded edition includes the studio recording, live renditions of every track from Waters' October 2023 performances at the London Palladium, exclusive Blu-rays, a gold vinyl pressing, and even a track-by-track interview. All of that has clearly enticed collectors and superfans, many of whom are eager to experience every facet of the ambitious project. Waters released The Dark Side of the Moon Redux in October 2023 to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the original album's release. While some fans and critics questioned the need for a solo reinterpretation, the numbers show there's still a huge appetite for his take. This week, the original version of The Dark Side of the Moon is also present on four U.K. charts, as both editions have carved out meaningful space with listeners.
