Fans have eagerly awaited this adaptation for years. The time has finally come for Stephen King's beloved story to hit the big screen.
The Long Walk, one of Stephen King's most cherished early works, is finally getting adapted into a film. After numerous adaptations of his novels, this dystopian classic is now in the hands of director Francis Lawrence, known for The Hunger Games.
The story takes place in a grim future where young men are pitted against each other in a deadly competition. The Long Walk was the first book King ever completed, published under his pseudonym Richard Bachman.
In an alternate version of the United States ruled by a totalitarian regime, fifty boys sign up for the so-called Long Walk. They must maintain a pace of 3 miles per hour without stopping. Anyone who stops or slows down gets eliminated, until only one remains.

Besides Hoffman and Jonsson, the cast includes Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Roman Griffin Davis, and Jordan Gonzalez. Joshua Odjick, Josh Hamilton, Judy Greer, and Mark Hamill also make appearances.
The film is directed by Francis Lawrence, with a screenplay by JT Mollner. Producing are Roy Lee, Steven Schneider, Cameron MacConomy, and Lawrence himself.
The Long Walk will be released by Lionsgate on September 12. The film promises to be an intense psychological thriller that will appeal to King fans and lovers of dystopian tales alike.
