Glen Powell, Colman Domingo, Jayme Lawson and Lee Pace are the stars of The Running Man, a new sci-fi/action/thriller directed by Edgar Wright (Baby Driver (2017).

Based on a novel by Stephen King, Powell plays a desperate man who joins a game show. One where contestants can go anywhere in the world, while pursued by people hired to kill them.

At first, I feared this might be too similar to previous movies like John Q (2002) and Jake Gyllenhaal’s Ambulance (2022). I’m pleased to see I was mostly wrong.

In fact, as someone who loves well-paced chase sequences, this looks quite promising. Perhaps I’ll finally have a favourite Glen Powell movie. Which one’s yours?

I’m now also wondering which will be better, this retelling or the original 1987 movie of the same name starring Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Josh Brolin, Michael Cera, William H. Macy, David Zayas, Emilia Jones, Karl Glusman, Sean Hayes, Katy O’Brian, Sophie Simnett, George Carroll, Joey Ansah and Daniel Ezra also star.

The Running Man Release Dates: November 7th, 2025 (US & UK)…

SING SING (2023): New Trailer Starring Colman Domingo, Sean Dino Johnson, Clarence Maclin, Paul Raci…

10 Comments

Sing Sing is a new drama about a theatre group who escape the reality of incarceration through drama. Specifically by staging a play with a cast that includes actors who have been incarcerated.

Colman Domingo (If Beale Street Could Talk (2018), Clarence Maclin, Paul Raci and Sean Dino Johnson star; while Greg Kwedar co-writes and directs.

As a fan of drama the subject, and all its powers, I find this trailer very moving. It’s the kind of trailer that was always going to affect most people, thanks in part to how beautifully it’s edited. Add the fact that it’s a story about people who dedicated themselves to lifting others, and, oh, wait; are my eyeballs suddenly ‘sweating?’

Domingo is great, of course. I’m excited to see how the characters find themselves transformed. After all, getting to be creative generally has a lot more to offer the participant than just fun.

Produced by Denzel Washington; starring Viola Davis, Chadwick Boseman and based on a play by Pulitzer Prize winner August Wilson; Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom is a new drama/music film directed by George C. Wolfe.

Set in 1927 Chicago; tensions rise during a recording session between Ma Rainey (Davis), her ambitious horn player (Boseman) and the white management determined to control the uncontrollable ‘Mother of the Blues’.

The story telling talent involved here is fantastic and I’m excited to experience the full results of Davis’s transformation. Also, considering that this is the last movie the late Chadwick Boseman made, I’m sure this is going to be a bitter sweet viewing experience. It took me a while but finally, I’m ready to go on this journey with the characters as they fight for autonomy and their dreams.

Colman Domingo, Glynn Turman, Taylour Paige, Jonny Coyne, Michael Potts, Jeremy Shamos, Joshua Harto and Dusan Brown also star.

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom Release Dates: December 18th, 2020 (US), Netflix…
