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)…

Directed by Claire Scanlon, in Set It Up, Zoey Deutch and Glen Powell play two corporate executive assistants who hatch a plan to match-make their two bosses, played by Taye Diggs and Lucy Liu.

This one should hopefully be good for when I’m in the mood for some ‘easy viewing.’ I like Diggs and Liu. The latter, especially because I’m forever a massive fan of her character (Ling Woo) in Ally McBeal ( 1997-2002).

Set It Up Release Dates: June 15th, 2018 (US)…

In Sand Castle, Henry Cavill and Nicholas Hoult are U.S. soldiers whose job it is to protect a small village during the the Iraq war.

My big hope for this Fernando Coimbra-directed war drama is that the American accents are as convincing as the truth in the actor’s eyes and words, because the story is intriguing.

Sand Castle Release Dates: April 14th, 2017 (US)…

The trailer for the sequel to Ride Along (2014) is here. Watch it for at least two laugh out loud moments.

I enjoy Hart most in his standup comedy  and I’ll be watching this because of the two great comedy moments in this trailer. I’m also hoping, like crazy, that there’s more good stuff where that came from.

Directed by Tim Story; Olivia Munn, Kevin Jeong and Benjamin Bratt also star.

Release Date (s): January 15th, 2016 (2016) January 22nd, 2016 (UK)…
