The Running Man Remake Gains Schwarzenegger Approval Ahead 2025 Premiere
Edgar Wright's remake of Stephen King's novel The Running Man, set to debut in US theaters on November 7, 2025, has received the blessing of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who starred in the original 1987 film adaptation. Wright and lead actor Glen Powell, who plays the same character Schwarzenegger portrayed, connected with Schwarzenegger via Zoom to seek his approval for a special nod to the original movie, which Schwarzenegger endorsed as a worthy remake. The new film aims to more closely follow King's novel, differing from the 1987 version by depicting contestants navigating an open world rather than a confined arena. The trailer features a cameo tribute to Schwarzenegger, appearing on $100 bills within the film. Wright expressed admiration for Stephen King's original story and highlighted the remake's intention to capture its spirit more faithfully than the previous adaptation. The cast also includes Josh Brolin, Lee Pace, and Colman Domingo.
