Overview
- The new adaptation launched in French theaters on November 19, 2025, with a runtime reported at roughly 2h13–2h14.
- Glen Powell stars as Ben Richards, a desperate father who enters a deadly reality show manhunt to secure money for his family.
- Josh Brolin plays the cynical network chief and Colman Domingo the marquee host, framing the story’s media machinery.
- Early reviews emphasize Wright’s return to King/Richard Bachman’s text, a retro‑futurist design built from dated tech like cassettes and mailboxes, and brisk montage with muscular action.
- Coverage sets the film against the 1987 Schwarzenegger version and parallels to Yves Boisset’s 1983 Le Prix du danger, while noting Powell’s training regimen and his mentorship link to Tom Cruise, who attended the London premiere.
