“Among the Best I’ve Been Part Of”: ’Reacher’s Alan Ritchson Hypes Up Action Movie ‘Runner’ With New Set Images

Alan Ritchson has traded in stalking the backwater towns of Midwest America for the sun-soaked chaos of Queensland, Australia, as production races toward the finish line on Runner, an upcoming action thriller that pairs the Reacher star with none other than Owen Wilson. Yes, you read that right — it’s Jack Reacher and Hansel, together at last. Two blonde Adonises. The film, currently shooting in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, stars Ritchson as Hank Malone, a highly skilled courier entrusted with a life-or-death mission: deliver a vital organ across hostile terrain to save the life of a critically ill young girl. Naturally, things go very sideways, very fast, as shadowy forces emerge to sabotage the delivery. Think Crank meets Midnight Run with a bit more emotional stakes — and apparently, a lot more blood.
