If he were to continue making the types of films he always has — deliciously self-critical and deeply personal tributes to genre cinema — he runs the risk of the work being misunderstood at best and uncharitably savaged at worst (see Last Night in Soho and the baffling vitriol that was hurled its way). If he […]

]]> Watch the blistering new trailer for ‘The Running Man’ https://vanyaland.com/2025/10/14/watch-the-blistering-new-trailer-for-the-running-man/ Tue, 14 Oct 2025 16:50:23 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10042483 We might not have been the world’s biggest fans of Francis Lawrence’s The Long Walk, but at least we’ve got one more motion-themed Stephen King adaptation left this year: Edgar Wright’s The Running Man, which has a whole host of Hollywood talent in the cast and offers the British filmmaker behind Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz a chance to bring some of his hyperactive style to a near-future thriller. The film had a large presence at this year’s […]

]]> See Glen Powell, uh, run in the ‘Running Man’ trailer https://vanyaland.com/2025/07/01/see-glen-powell-uh-run-in-the-running-man-trailer/ Tue, 01 Jul 2025 18:28:59 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10041927 We’re not going to recycle our lede from our post about The Long Walk, the Francis Lawrence movie based on a Stephen King novel that involves a running-themed game show or sporting event, or whatever. No, that’s not who we are. This is a post about The Running Man, Edgar Wright’s adaptation of a Stephen King novel about a running-themed game show or sporting event or whatever. Even better, it’s a remake of one of our favorite B-tier Arnold Schwarzenegger […]

]]> ‘Twisters’ Review: Top Gun’s ‘Maverick’ has an heir apparent https://vanyaland.com/2024/07/19/twisters-review-top-guns-maverick-has-an-heir-apparent/ Fri, 19 Jul 2024 16:41:56 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10039043 It’s no wonder that Lee Issac Chung’s Twisters shares a good amount of DNA with Jospeh Kosinski’s Top Gun: Maverick. Beyond the presence of Glen Powell (who takes a leading role here instead of simply playing the pseudo-Maverick foil to Miles Teller) and Kosinski himself (who has a “story by” credit as a result of his time spent in charge of the production before de-camping midway through to run Apple’s Formula One movie), it is a kind of legacyquel, in […]
