Back in November 2025, filmmaker Edgar Wright (Last Night in Soho) unveiled his kinetic adaptation of the Stephen King novel The Running Man, starring Glen Powell, Josh Brolin, Colman Domingo, Michael Cera, Jayme Lawson, Daniel Erza, and many more. Paramount Pictures released The Running Man on digital in December 2025 and physical formats in March 2026, bringing with it over two hours of behind-the-scenes materials, including a feature-length commentary track, making-of featurettes, in-world promos – to name a few. Courtesy of Paramount Pictures via Alliance Entertainment, EoM is giving away one (1) 4K UHD digital code for The Running Man to one (1) lucky individual. No auditions necessary; merely submit an entry before time runs out.

Giveaway runs until Friday, May 1st, at 11:59p EDT.

Official Synopsis:

The Running Man is an unhinged deadly game show where contestants must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward. Working class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is coerced into the competition by the show’s ruthless producer (Josh Brolin). Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into a fan favorite—and a threat to the entire system.
