The film's development was first announced in February 2021, while filming started in November 2024 and finished in March 2025.
What is The Running Man about?
The synopsis for the new film says: "In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on television - a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward.
"But Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favourite - and a threat to the entire system. As ratings skyrocket, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but a nation addicted to watching him fall."
In 2017, Wright said on social media that the film he would most like to remake would be The Running Man, and when producer Simon Kinberg started developing a new adaptation of King's novel, he reached out to Wright.
Bacall told Entertainment Weekly that he and Wright got a "good response" from King when they sent him the script, which was "very relieving and gratifying".
