In a near-future society, The Running Man is the top-rated show on television—a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, 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.

Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort. But Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite—and a threat to the entire system.

As ratings skyrocket, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but a nation addicted to watching him fall.

The Running Man will be released in Aussie cinemas November 13!

For fans, this franchise is amazingly deep in content and includes five feature films from the late sixties and seventies, a live-action television series, an animated one, a Tim Burton reboot that came out in 2001 that had its issues and then a more successful reemergence that started with Rise of the Planet of the Apes in 2011 and of which the latest film is the fourth of that series.

Throughout its entire run, film technology has played a major role in the believability of the series. From the rubber masks and make-up tricks utilised at its inception to the almost unlimited canvas afforded by state-of-the-art computer graphics, the stories have become more complex and involving. The capabilities of the filmmakers have also greatly expanded. This is especially illustrated in their ability to have the primates show real emotion.

It’s a credit to the vision of director Wes Ball (The Maze Runner trilogy) and that of his writers Josh Friedman, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver that the end results are so interesting. They could have easily phoned it in but instead have opened the door for far more explorations of the dynamics and parallels that exist between the primates and humans in this dystopian version of a future planet Earth.

Mel Gibson returns to the big screen with shades of Sicario and Payback in this edge-of-your-seat action thriller. Scripted by Straight Outta Compton’s Andrea Berloff and The Town’s Peter Craig (based on his novel), BLOOD FATHER is brought to the screen by the team behind The Prophet and Rust & Bone and helmed by the César-winning French director behind the acclaimed Mesrine films. Pokemon Go

Action and attitude meets humour and humility as Gibson stars as John Link – an ex-con trying – none too enthusiastically – to embrace life on the straight and narrow. Eking out a meagre existence as a tattoo artist in his trailer park home, he battles with his past and his future. When his estranged daughter, Lydia is caught up in a drug deal gone wrong, she finds herself reaching out to the last man she ever thought she’d need – her father. Only he can protect her from those who want her dead, and only he will – no matter what it may cost him.

Competition will be drawn 31 August 2016, winners will be notified by mail.
