Tom Cruise recently praised the upcoming remake of “The Running Man,” scheduled to hit theaters next weekend. During a screening, he shared his excitement on his X account, expressing his enjoyment of the film. Cruise remarked, “Another great night out with my friends at the movies! You guys crushed it, congratulations! I laughed, was on the edge of my seat, and ate way too much popcorn.”
Details about the Film
“The Running Man” is a remake of the iconic 1987 film featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger. This new adaptation is based on a popular novel by Stephen King. It is directed by Edgar Wright, with Michael Bacall contributing to the screenplay.
StarStudded Cast
The film stars Glen Powell, who was present at the screening alongside Cruise. Other notable cast members include:
- Emilia Jones
- Colman Domingo
- Lee Pace
- Josh Brolin
Although Brolin could not attend the screening due to his press commitments for “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,” he has a role in this new adaptation. Powell confirmed that Schwarzenegger has viewed the film as well and praised it for being a faithful adaptation of King’s work.
Box Office Expectations
While “The Running Man” is generating buzz, it faces tough competition to eclipse Powell’s previous successes. His role as Hangman in “Top Gun: Maverick” grossed approximately $1.5 billion. Additionally, his film “Twisters” earned $372 million globally, and a recent romcom with Sydney Sweeney generated over $200 million.
Release Information
The release date for “The Running Man” is set for November 14, 2025. With the review embargo still in effect, the film currently lacks a Rotten Tomatoes score. However, it is already capturing the attention and admiration of fans and critics alike.
