Overview
- In this reinterpretation, a desperate father enters a live survival contest where contestants must evade professional Hunters for 30 days in a corporatized, authoritarian America.
- Glen Powell leads as Ben Richards, with Josh Brolin as producer Dan Killian, Colman Domingo as showman Bobby Thompson, Lee Pace as Hunter chief Evan McCone, and support from William H. Macy, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones and Jayme Lawson.
- The rollout follows a Nov. 5 world premiere in London, a UK opening on Nov. 12, broad Latin American bows on Nov. 13, and a U.S. release on Nov. 14 via Paramount Pictures.
- Directed by Edgar Wright from a screenplay by Wright and Michael Bacall, the film runs about 133 minutes and is produced by Paramount Pictures and Genre Films.
- Early reviews highlight muscular action and sharp media critique, with praise for Powell’s performance and Wright’s direction, while some note a less effective final act; Stephen King has said Powell aligns more closely with his original character concept than the 1987 portrayal.
