2025 Remake of Stephen King Cult Sci-Fi Classic Is Already Streaming (And It’s an Instant Hit)

Edgar Wright’s new movie, The Running Man, started streaming on Paramount+ on January 13th, just two months after it came out in theaters. This isn’t the first time King’s 1982 novel has been adapted for the screen – Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in a version back in 1987. This new film is set in a bleak, futuristic world and follows Ben Richards, played by Glen Powell, a struggling worker who enters the dangerous game show The Running Man to earn money for his daughter’s medical care. The show forces contestants to survive for 30 days while being pursued by skilled killers.
