Glen Powell is on the run in the official trailer for The Running Man.

Paramount Pictures released the trailer for the dystopian action-comedy film on Tuesday. The movie, which was directed by Edgar Wright, follows a man who enters a deadly TV competition show.

Based on the novel by Stephen King, The Running Man is set in a society in the near-future. The movie centers around a popular TV show whose contestants have to survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins. Each and every one of their moves are broadcast to the public while every day of survival brings a bigger cash reward.

“Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort,” according to the film’s official synopsis. “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.”

Along with Powell and Brolin, the film stars Colman Domingo, Lee Pace, Jayme Lawson, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones and William H. Macy.

A previous film adaptation of King’s novel starring Arnold Schwarzenegger was released in 1987.

The Running Man arrives in theaters on Nov. 7.

Jennifer Aniston will star in a series inspired by Jennette McCurdy‘s memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died.

The drama-comedy will consist of 10 episodes made for Apple TV+. McCurdy serves as a writer, executive producer and the showrunner of the series alongside Ari Katcher.

McCurdy’s #1 New York Times bestselling memoir recounts her struggles as a former child actor as she dealt with her overbearing and domineering mother.

Apple TV+ describes the upcoming series as a dramedy that “will center on the codependent relationship between an 18-year-old actress in a hit kid’s show, and her narcissistic mother who relishes in her identity as ‘a starlet’s mother.’”

Aniston will play the starlet’s mother in the series. She’ll also executive produce the show. Sharon Horgan, Tom Ackerley and Jerrod Carmichael are among several other executive producers on the project.

This marks another collaboration between Aniston and Apple TV+. The actress stars in and executive produces the service’s drama series The Morning Show.

McCurdy is known for her time playing Sam on the Nickelodeon series iCarly. She reprised that role in the spinoff series Sam & Cat.

I’m Glad My Mom Died was published on Aug. 9, 2022. It has spent over 80 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list.

Sofia Carson stars in the trailer for her latest Netflix rom-com, My Oxford Year.

The film stars Carson as Anna, an ambitious young American woman who moves to England to study at the University of Oxford. She soon falls for her charming professor, Jamie, played by Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story star Corey Mylchreest.

“Flirting with the hot teacher on the first day?” a student played by Harry Trevaldwyn asks Anna in the trailer.

Flustered, she says no, while the student reassures her he is not judging.

“Oh, no, I love it,” he says. “That is a serious bit of crumpet.”

Carson told Netflix it was an honor to study the poets who walked the halls of Oxford to prepare for this movie.

“Our story is a film that in every frame reaffirms the belief that life is too short to not live it in love. To not live it in joy,” Carson said.

Along with starring in the film, Carson also executive produces. Iain Morris directed the romance movie from a script by Allison Burnett and Melissa Osborne, which is based on the novel by Julia Whelan.

Dougray Scott, Catherine McCormack, Esmé Kingdom and Nikhil Parmar also star in the movie.

My Oxford Year makes its way to Netflix on Aug. 1.

At another point, Hathaway’s character, Andy Sachs, is heard saying, “Can you please spell ‘Gabbana’?”

Blunt’s character, Emily Charlton, rattles off another memorable line: “I refuse to be sick. I’m wearing Valentino for crying out loud.”

Miranda is heard elsewhere in the video saying, “Don’t be ridiculous, Andrea, everybody wants this.”

“That’s all,” she adds.

The end of the video includes onscreen text that reads, “Now in production.”

In the caption, the studio wrote, “The Devil Wears Prada 2. Now in production.”

20th Century Studios confirmed to Good Morning America on Monday that Streep, Hathaway, Blunt and Tucci are all slated to return for the sequel.

Ryan Gosling is a reluctant space traveler in the official trailer for Project Hail Mary.

The Amazon MGM film is based on The New York Times bestselling novel by Andy Weir. It follows middle school teacher Ryland Grace, played by Gosling, who finds himself on a spacecraft with no memory of his past or even how he arrived there.

Ryland must successfully complete an interstellar mission to save Earth from a disaster. This leads him to meet an alien who is also trying to save its own species.

“I just woke up from a coma. I’m several light years from my apartment and I’m not an astronaut,” Ryland says in the trailer.

“If you don’t go, you die. With the rest of us,” Eva, played by Sandra Hüller, tells him in response.

He does not respond very well to the idea of taking on such a dangerous mission.

“I put the not in astronaut,” Ryland says. “I’ve never done anything—I’ve never done a space—I can’t even moonwalk!

The Oscar-winning filmmaking duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller directed the upcoming movie.

Milana Vayntrub also stars alongside Gosling and Hüller.

Project Hail Mary blasts off into movie theaters and IMAX screens on March 20, 2026.
