Interview with Edgar Wright and Lee Pace of The Running Man
On this episode of The Movie Podcast, Daniel and Shahbaz are joined legendary Writer and Director Edgar Wright and the one and only Lee Pace to discuss their new film THE RUNNING MAN. 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. Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort. But Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite—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. The Running Man releases exclusively in theatres November 14, 2025.
