The Running Man is getting a new reboot from Edgar Wright, starring Glen Powell. The film is based on the 1982 novel from Stephen King about a totalitarian regime that uses violent game shows to placate the masses. Enter Katy O’Brian, one of the hottest rising stars in Hollywood right now.
The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that she’s joining up with the film as one of the contestants on the show. Paramount is releasing the film on November 21st. 2025. Here’s a synopsis.
The story centered on one desperate man, needing money for his sick daughter, who joins the most popular show, The Running Man, in which teams of killers hunt down contestants. The longer that a contestant survives, the more money that person makes. But as the game show’s producers and killers will find out, this desperate man will break all the rules and expose the show’s dark secrets.
O’Brian has starred in projects like The Mandalorian, Black Lightning, and Love Lies Bleeding. She’s since been cast in the latest Mission: Impossible film and starred in Twisters with Powell earlier this year. It looks like The Running Man could have some star power for the end of 2025.
