Have you ever watched someone running in a movie and thought “That’s amazing”? Has that carried over into your excitement for The Running Man? Well, Paramount has given fans a perfect way to pass the time waiting for the new trailer to drop!

Glen Powell is taking on the role of Ben Richards, a man who is trying to get money to help his sick daughter. So he volunteers to join “The Running Man,” a game show where hunters try to track him down and kill him live on television. The longer he lasts in the show, the more money his wife Shelia (Jayme Lawson) and their daughter Cathy get. And one of those hunters is played by Lee Pace so just imaging Lee Pace running after Glen Powell and that will get you through until the film’s release.

Edgar Wright’s take on Stephen King’s The Running Man is hitting theaters later this year and fans can get excited about the trailer, dropping on July 1. But in the lead up to the trailer’s release, Paramount has given fans a fun little treat: A live stream of every running scene! Yes, that includes plenty of Tom Cruise running around.

Listen, Ben Richards has to do a lot of running. He is literally running for his life (and his family). So spending your time watching some of the best running scenes? That’s a pretty fun way to pass the time. Now, if the trailer is what was shown at Cinemacon, you are in for such a treat!

For now, we can watch a lot of Tom Cruise running around and Sonic the Hedgehog has also, so far in the livestream, made an appearance so who knows who will pop up on the lead up to the trailer release for The Running Man!
