Teyonah Parris joins Gavin O’Connor’s new film Running
A fresh star is set to join the cast of the highly anticipated Apple Original Films picture, Running, which promises a gripping narrative set against an extraordinary backdrop.
Teyonah Parris steps into the spotlight for the film, adding a layer of compelling energy to the ensemble cast. She joins a lineup already stacked with talent, including Spike Fearn, Brian Tyree Henry, and Rhea Seehorn, promising a dynamic and unforgettable cinematic experience.
The story behind the film is rooted in the creative partnership between director Gavin O’Connor and writer Bill Dubuque. The screenplay itself is based on a story developed by both O’Connor and Dubuque, giving the production a rich, established foundation.
This ambitious project is a co-production effort, bringing together the vision of Makeready and Waffle Iron Entertainment to bring the story to the screen. The narrative centers on a deeply human and challenging theme: following the journey of a homeless high school student.
The combination of established talent, creative depth, and a poignant subject matter suggests that Running is poised to be more than just a movie—it is set to be a powerful exploration of resilience and the unexpected paths life can take.
