The Running Man is coming up fast and The Mary Sue got to ask Lee Pace about his role in the new movie. Rachel Leishman spoke to the actor for the junket. He told us how brilliant Edgar Wright was during our chat and so much more. (By the way check out our interview with Glen Powell as well for more goodness from The Running Man.) Even though this is a Stephen King adaptation, there’s so much of Wright’s cinematic DNA coursing through each frame of this movie. The McCone actor is in complete agreement with us on that fact.
“Edgar Wright is such a singular director and he sets a tone for the film, he knows exactly what he’s doing,” the star recalled. “The first conversation I had with him was exactly the same as this script that’s in the movie I saw last week. He did that. He did what he set out to do and he created a tone and the experience he wants the audience to have on this like, wild, relentless ride.”
