Glasgow stars in first trailer for new Hollywood blockbuster The Running Man
Glasgow plays a starring role in the first official trailer for a new forthcoming Hollywood blockbuster. The trailer for the much-anticipated reboot of action-packed sci-fi film 'The Running Man' - which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger - has been released. 'Top Gun: Maverick' and 'Twisters' star Glen Powell leads the cast of the reboot, taking on the role played by Schwarzenegger in the 1987 movie, alongside Josh Brolin, Michael Cera and Colman Domingo. Based on Stephen King's 1982 novel of the same name, 'The Running Man' (1987) centres on Ben Richards, a falsely convicted policeman in dystopian America who gets his shot at freedom when he must forcibly participate in a TV game show where convicts must battle killers for their freedom. Millions Hunt. One Runs. Everyone Watches. Watch the Official Trailer for The Running Man – Only in theatres November 7 — The Running Man Movie (@RunningManMovie) July 1, 2025 Scenes for the Paramount Pictures production were shot on a number of city centre streets in Glasgow - including Hope Street, Renfrew Street and St Vincent Street - in November last year. The trailer begins with Glen Powell's character in Union Place off Gordon Street near to Glasgow Central station, with other Glasgow locations such as the SEC Armadillo, The OVO Hydro, Cadogan Square and the Savoy Centre also noticeable in the trailer. Speaking about the reboot in December 2023, director Edgar Wright, the English filmmaker behind 'Hot Fuzz', 'Baby Driver' and 'Shaun of the Dead', explained that the reboot would not necessarily be a remake of the 1987 movie, but a more faithful adaptation of Stephen King's novel. The 1987 movie, which was a moderate box office success in the United States, is now considered something of a cult classic. The Running Man is set to be released by Paramount on November 21, 2025.

Reviving the lost tradition of egg clapping
Over the Easter weekend, children around the world took part in egg hunts to celebrate one of the most important festivals in the Christian calendar. But in one corner of Wales some partook in a slight variation of this popular tradition – egg clapping. The activity was practiced on Anglesey in the 19th and 20th Centuries before undergoing a demise from about the 1960s as rural traditions began to disappear. However, a local organisation is leading efforts to revive the practice on the island as part of wider efforts to celebrate and protect local heritage. Parking plea at beauty spot to avoid Easter chaos Easter egg hunt in cemetery pulled after backlash The exact origins of clapio wyau, or egg clapping, are unclear, but it appears to have originated some time in the 19th Century mainly in rural communities on Anglesey. Children would visit neighbours with their wooden claps, recite a rhyme and ask for eggs – chicken eggs in those days – that they would take home to display on their mantelpiece. The rhyme had some variations, but according to one telling by Museum Wales went: Clap, clap, os gwelwch chi'n dda ga'i wŷ (Clap, clap, please may I have an egg) Geneth fychan (neu fachgen bychan) ar y plwy' (Young girl (or young boy) on the parish) The children would then be asked by the occupier "And who do you belong to?" before they were given an egg to add to their collection. #OnThisDay 1965: The BBC celebrated that most venerable Easter tradition, 'clapping Monday'. The day that Mardi Gras wishes it could be. Throw your eggs in your basket, grab your clapper and let's go! — BBC Archive (@BBCArchive) April 3, 2023 Speaking to the BBC in 1965, Nelli Jones, from Cemaes Bay on Anglesey, said she went egg clapping every year between the ages of two and 16. It was a tradition her great-grandmother, grandmother and mother took part in. Ms Jones said she did not know how the tradition started but the children in the village "couldn't sleep" the night before because of excitement. Starting at about 06:00 BST, they would take their basket of straw for their eggs, their clapper and a spare piece of string in case it broke, and go clapping all day, returning in the evening. "If you had a good day you could clap 150 eggs," Ms Jones said, adding the family was often "on an egg diet for weeks" afterwards. Some eggs would also be brought into school the next day and sent to a hospital in Bangor. Ms Jones also showed the presenter her clapper – a wooden implement built by her father – which had written on it the years she had taken part. It showed the last time she had been was in 1939, 26 years earlier. Ms Jones lamented the demise of the practice, saying her two older children, including her son aged 21, had never been egg clapping. "I think it's a great shame to see old customs die," she said. Many decades later there are now efforts to keep the tradition alive. Since 2012, Menter Môn, an organisation promoting Welsh customs on Anglesey, has been holding annual egg clapping events during the Easter holidays. Angharad Evans, from Menter Môn, said the event was an important way for children to connect with Welsh heritage and activities, as well as the language. The events today see children given their own egg clappers that they colour in, before going around the local area reciting the traditional rhyme in Welsh and asking for eggs – these days in the form of chocolate. Ms Evans described the event as "fun" and "inter-generational", and said her father, who is in his late 80s, remembered doing it. "We've found the grandparents really enjoy it – often they remember doing it themselves and there's real nostalgia for them. And for the children it's a bit of adventure, a bit different to the traditional Easter egg hunt," she said. "It's nice, and gives the children a good look into how things were done in the past," she said.
