New The Running Man trailer looks like Die Hard meets Home Alone

A man with blood on his face looks at something off-camera.

Given how dark the source material is, writer/director Edgar Wright could have gone in a pretty bleak direction for his adaptation of Stephen King’s novella The Running Man — but judging by the trailers so far, it looks like he’s gone down the popcorn-munching route instead.

In the trailer above Ben Richards (Chad Powers‘ Glen Powell) is shown trying to survive and hide from a team of killers for 30 days as part of a televised game show. If he’s caught, he dies. If he survives, he wins $1 billion for his family and can pay for a doctor that his child is in desperate need of. It’s a grim dystopian concept, but the trailer is full of action-packed sequences, explosions, and funy larger-than-life moments — including hunters falling victim to a booby-trapped house that’s like something out of a much more violent Home Alone.

William H. Macy, Lee Pace, Michael Cera, Emilia Jones, Daniel Ezra, Jayme Lawson, Sean Hayes, Katy O’Brian with Colman Domingo and Josh Brolin also star.

The Running Man hits theaters on Nov. 7.
