Biography Flash: Stephen King Dominates Headlines with The Running Man Trailer, New TV Series, and Political Commentary
Stephen King Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Stephen King has been absolutely buzzing in the headlines and on social media over the past few days with a blend of literary, Hollywood, and political moments that would make for a riveting chapter in any biography. First and foremost, today marks the official drop of the first trailer for The Running Man, the highly anticipated film adaptation by Edgar Wright, coming to theaters November 14th, 2025. King himself took to interviews to voice glowing support for the director’s bold changes. Speaking with Variety, he said he “absolutely loved it” and called Wright’s new ending “faithful enough.” Industry insiders from IMDb and Collider confirm that the new adaptation is being touted as the most faithful take on King’s original 1982 novel, which he penned under his Richard Bachman pseudonym, and even Arnold Schwarzenegger, star of the 80s film, has showered praise on the reboot. Glen Powell, now starring as Ben Richards, leads a cast brimming with Hollywood talent including Josh Brolin, Michael Cera, and William H. Macy.
But the big screen isn’t the only place King is commanding attention. He’s about to become a fixture on TV once again with The Institute, which premieres as a limited series July 13th on MGM, offering a thriller twist on psychic children and shadowy institutions. That’s not all—King is also breaking new ground in children’s literature. This September, he teams up with the late Maurice Sendak for a dark reimagining of Hansel and Gretel, a collaboration that is sure to intrigue both horror and picture book fans worldwide.
Public appearances? King’s just wrapped a sold-out tour in support of End of Watch, appearing on stage with George R.R. Martin in Albuquerque for an evening that fans described as unforgettable. Just last month, the very first Stephen KingCon made headlines in Las Vegas, a fan-fueled convention that drew genre filmmakers and readers alike, capturing the breadth of King’s influence and anecdotes from every era of his public life.
On the political front, King is as outspoken as ever. Two days ago, he took to X to warn about potential threats to American democracy, sharply criticizing President Trump’s deployment of troops in major cities and cautioning that the next phase could be restrictions on voting—his post quickly went viral and fueled discussions across the web, as reported by Gamereactor.
And keeping up his reputation for wry social commentary, King has also weighed in on current events like the New York mayoral race, swiftly dismissing criticisms leveled against Zohran Mamdani after his election victory, according to Unilad.
As always, his world remains in constant motion—be it through bestsellers, blockbuster adaptations, or direct messages to millions of followers. Thank you for listening to this quick-fire update.
