Edgar Wright's upcoming adaptation of the Stephen King dystopian horror novel The Running Man arrives November 14, and fans of both the author and the director are already lining up for a movie that looks like a blast. The Paramount Pictures film sees Glen Powell playing Ben Richards, a man who becomes the contestant in a reality series where he's literally hunted by skillful assassins. Although the plot sounds somewhat similar to John Wick, in which a mercenary is also the target of a global manhunt, Wright believes that his hero is fundamentally different.
