#SPOTTED: EDGAR WRIGHT IN TORONTO FOR “THE RUNNING MAN”

Edgar Wright gets a big welcome back to a City that adores him. Having shot fan favourite Scott Pilgram vs. The World here, he has come back time and again to express his gratitude and premiered Last Night in Soho at tiff a few years back.

He is back with his adaptation of Stephen King‘s THE RUNNING MAN, a high-octane, high-adrenaline thrill ride starring Glen Powell as a desperate man willing to risk it all for money on a televised game of hide and seek. He realizes soon that the game and network are corrupt, designed to make him fail, before realizing his purpose. This Action-Thriller was filmed over 165 separate locations. It’s ambitious, edge-of-your-seat fun! Once again, Wright delivers!

Wright’s gratitude to Toronto knows no bounds. Not only did he appear at TIFF Lightbox for a Members’ Screening with In-Conversation, he also surprised a theatre full of fans at an Advance Screening of the Film at Scotiabank Theatre earlier in the evening as well. Above this, he was gracious spending time with fans taking selfies and signing autographs.

A quick review and highlights of Wright‘s In-Conversation at TIFF Lightbox:
