Wonder Woman Gal Gadot stars in smart chase movie THE RUNNER, set to open wide on Sept. 2 from Amazon MGM Studios, where she plays distraught mother Maia Marten. Gadot in sleek athleisure wear must navigate a London grid dictated by hostile party who holds her son hostage. If that sounds complicated, being in the grip of this female-driven taut race as a supermom is easy. Gal is on a mission to free her child, and that’s just for starters. Cast includes a hardened Damian Lewis as the Caller who initiates the race course having kidnapped this high-powered defense attorney’s son. He is joined by Rory Wilmot and Alfred Enoch as key players.
But on Aug. 27th, for the Runner world premier, Gadot was back on sleek lush movie start mode. Here are some scenes from the opening.
Amazon MGM Studios hosted THE RUNNER cast at Harmony Gold Preview House in LA. There was also a rocking afterparty at Ysabel in West Hollywood.
Besides RUNNER lead GAL GADOT, the soiree also included director Kevin McDonald, producer David Koss, and writer Mark Gibson. Close-up here are Gal and Global Head of Marketing Sue Kroll at Amazon MGM Studios.
Guest List hosted at venue Harmony Gold included Harry Jowsey, Jesse Kove, Mena Massoud, Coco Watson, and Daniela Ortiz on the red carpet.
