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 Edgar Wright of Baby Driver (2017); Last Night in Soho is a new drama/horror/mystery that stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Thomasin McKenzie and Jessie Mei Li. It’s the story of a young girl (McKenzie), passionate about fashion design, who finds herself mysteriously able to enter the 1960s.

While there, she encounters her idol, a dazzling wannabe singer (Taylor-Joy). Only 1960s London isn’t quite what it seems.

The part-horror categorisation makes me nervous but I remain curious. Who knew that Taylor-Joy had such a beautiful singing voice? No t me.

Here’s to hoping that there are more pleasant surprises to look forward to.

Diana Rigg, Matt Smith, Rita Tushingham, Terence Stamp, Margaret Nolan, Lisa McGrillis, James Phelps, Synnove Karlsen, Oliver Phelps, Katrina Vasilieva, Michael Jibson and Kassius Nelson also star.

Last Night in Soho Release Dates: October 22nd, 2021 (US); October 29th, 2021 (UK)…
