“Godspeed, Big Man!” VVS Films revealed the full official trailer for an action thriller movie titled Runner, set in Brisbane, Australia –which gets featured prominently as the city this takes place in. Angel Studios is releasing this in the US in September as well (here’s their teaser), though this trailer is from Canada where it’s also opening on the smae day. A former soldier is thrown into a race against time as a medical delivery makes him the prime target of a ruthless cartel. Set down in Australia, a high-end courier has three hours to transport a liver from Brisbane to the Gold Coast. He comes under attack and will do anything to make sure it’s delivered safely to a young girl. This “buddy comedy” action movie stars Alan Ritchson (also seen in this summer’s Motor City) as Hank Malone and Owen Wilson as Ben Bishop. The full cast also includes Rodrigo Santoro, Leila George, Adriana Barraza, Sullivan Stapleton, Peta Sergeant, Geraldine Hakewill, and Goran D. Kleut. This looks like it should be entertaining. This trailer plays up the goofy comedy more than the first teaser. Ritchson looks like he’s giving it his all filming this, Wilson not so much.
Here’s the main official trailer for Scott Waugh’s action movie Runner, direct from VVS’ YouTube:
You can rewatch the first teaser trailer for Waugh’s Runner action movie here for the first look again.
A former soldier is thrown into a brutal race against time when a critical medical delivery makes him the target of a ruthless cartel. With betrayal closing in from every side, he must survive the chase and deliver his cargo before an innocent child runs out of time. Runner is directed by American action filmmaker Scott Waugh, director of the movies Act of Valor, Need for Speed, 6 Below: Miracle on the Mountain, Hidden Strike, and The Expendables 4 previously. The screenplay is written by Miles Hubley & Tommy White. It’s produced by Mark Fasano, Todd Garner, Deborah Glover, Jeffrey Greenstein, and Alan Ritchson. This was filmed on location in Australia last year (you can read Ritchson’s wrap post here). Angel Studios releases Waugh’s Runner movie in US theaters starting on September 11th, 2026 later this year. Look any good?
