“The Running Man” reboot is almost here — and teasing fans with an explosive new trailer. Edgar Wright’s fresh take on Stephen King’s short story and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1987 classic is bonkers, nonstop action.
The good news: Glen Powell is definitely getting his cardio in. The bad news: everyone is out to murder him!
So, as a public service, we have seven practical tips to surviving “The Running Man” game show.
- We can’t say it enough: Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate. A calf cramp is a death sentence when assassins are chasing you for one billion dollars.
- Never underestimate the power of a fake mustache. Hot gluing a lip sweater or a mouth brow to your face is Espionage 101.
- Do NOT answer the door at 3 a.m. Nine times out of ten, it isn’t an Uber Eats driver delivering a delicious Crunchwrap Supreme.
- Always wear breathable pants! No one wants a chafing situation while fleeing from homicidal maniacs.
- If you have to jump off an exploding bridge into a river below, avoid yelling “Cannonball!” no matter how tempted you are.
- No matter how jovial a stranger may seem, if they own more than one flamethrower that is a big red flag.
- Finally, sometimes ruthless mercenaries who have lost their moral compass just need an empathic hug or a grenade hurled at their face
Colman Domingo, Michael Cera, and William H. Macy round out the cast. “The Running Man” sprints into theaters on November 7th.
