Vancouver International Film Festival presents Building the Extraordinary with Marcus Roland, Production Designer, The Running Man
Production designer Marcus Rowland is known for crafting visually stunning worlds that blur the line between reality and fantasy. A frequent collaborator of visionary director Edgar Wright on films like Last Night in Soho and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (15-year anniversary!), and with credits that include Rocketman, Rowland has a proven track record of creating immersive environments that serve both story and spectacle.
Now, he’s bringing his distinctive vision to Wright’s adaptation of Stephen King’s dystopian thriller, The Running Man, which is set to open in theatres this November. The film’s world is built on a unique blend of gritty, near-future realism, and the heightened spectacle of a deadly televised game show.
Join us for an engaging conversation with Rowland as he takes us behind the scenes of his creative process, revealing how he builds these unforgettable worlds and navigates the collaborative art of bringing impossible visions to life on screen.
