The big Stephen King adaption coming soon might be The Running Man, but a second adaption is quietly inching closer – The Long Walk.
Based on another book written by King under his Richard Bachman pen name, The Long Walk is directed by Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, The Hunger Games).
As the release approaches, a second trailer has been released. This follows on from Lionsgate showing off 22 minutes of the movie at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend.
The Long Walk is a dystopian horror novel published in 1979. It is set in an alternative version of the United States ruled by a totalitarian regime.
The story follows one hundred teenage boys who participate in an annual non-stop walking contest where the rules are simple: maintain a speed above 3 miles per hour.
Receive three warnings in an hour and you’re shot dead. The last one walking gets whatever he wants for the rest of his life.
This adaptation centres sixteen-year-old walker named Raymond Garraty and the teens, some good, some bad, some mysterious, in his orbit.
While not the first of King’s novels to be published, The Long Walk was the first novel he wrote, having begun it in 1966–67 during his freshman year at the University of Maine, some eight years before his first published novel, Carrie, was released in 1974.
It has been described as an allegorical criticism of the Vietnam War.
Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Mark Hamill and Judy Greer star in The Long Walk, which will be released in cinemas on September 12th.
