The Running Man London Premiere - itw Colman Domingo (Official Video)

Описание: London, The Odeon Luxe Leicester Square, November 5 2025

The London premiere of The Running Man at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on November 5, 2025, unfolded like a charged declaration that this long-awaited adaptation was never meant to simply join the Hollywood carousel of remakes—it was designed to redefine it. With Edgar Wright, Glen Powell, Colman Domingo, Lee Pace, and Emilia Jones walking the blue carpet beneath the glow of Leicester Square’s iconic marquees, there was an immediate sense that this evening carried more weight than the typical blockbuster rollout. Guests and press arriving early were treated to a palpable buzz, the kind that threads through a premiere when the director’s passion for the material is practically folklore at this point. Those who have followed the project since Edgar Wright first mentioned his dream of adapting The Running Man years ago knew they were witnessing the culmination of an unusually personal creative pursuit. This energy filled the room even before the lights dimmed, revealing the unique alchemy between a beloved source material, a visionary filmmaker, and a cast brimming with electric charisma. Between flashes from the photographers of Getty Images and Mulderville and the excited murmurs about the film’s early reactions from CinemaCon, the London premiere already felt like a cultural moment—one fueled by anticipation, cinematic history, and Wright’s unmistakable stamp.

From the moment the first trailer dropped back on July 1—with Glen Powell cleverly appearing in influencer Ashton Hall’s faux-candid morning video—the film has positioned itself at the crossroads of art and media commentary. The premiere echoed that strategy perfectly; as cast members and attendees discussed the film, it became increasingly clear how intimately The Running Man engages with contemporary anxieties. Adapted faithfully from the 1982 novel by Stephen King, written under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, this version digs into themes of societal decay, media exploitation, and the intoxicating danger of spectator culture—concepts that feel uncomfortably close to reality in 2025. As guests recalled, the footage shown at CinemaCon earlier this year, introduced by Edgar Wright, Glen Powell, Colman Domingo, and Josh Brolin, set the tone for a film with a frenetic aesthetic, razor-sharp satire, and the emotional tension of a man pushed to the edge. During the premiere, one attendee shared an anecdote about the production’s immense scale, particularly the sequences filmed inside Wembley Stadium—reportedly among the most ambitious visual set pieces of Wright’s career. The film’s immersive worldbuilding and commitment to the book’s gritty anger were the recurring talking points throughout the theater lobby, as veterans of the industry compared it to the director’s previous works like Baby Driver, citing the same pulse-quickening rhythm but infused with an even darker narrative urgency.

Synopsis :
In the near future, The Running Man is the number one show on television: a ruthless survival game where contestants, known as Runners, must escape professional killers for 30 days, under the watchful eye of a captivated audience. Each day that passes increases the prize money—and provides an ever-more intense adrenaline rush. Ben Richards, a desperate worker willing to do anything to save his seriously ill daughter, accepts the unthinkable: to take part in this deadly show, pushed by Dan Killian, its charismatic and cruel producer. But no one could have predicted that Ben, with his will to live, his instincts, and his determination, would become a true hero of the people... and a threat to the entire system. As ratings skyrocket, the danger escalates. Ben will have to face much more than the Hunters: he will have to face an entire country addicted to seeing him fall.
