Josh Brolin, Lee Pace and the rest of a star-studded cast go back to the future — sort of — in “The Running Man,” director Edgar Wright’s Easter Egg-stuffed gift to cinemaniacs that’s set in the near future and constructed around a deadly reality game that Stephen King envisioned in a 1982 novel of the same name.
And if it all sounds familiar, the novel was previously adapted for the big screen and became a popular 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger action/sci-fi flick.
Wright’s R-rated visual feast opens Nov. 14 in area theaters. Colman Domingo co-stars as the cheeky host of the deadly game show (a role played by Richard Dawson in the original). Other cast members include Glen Powell, William H. Macy, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones, Daniel Ezra, and more.
