The movie adaptation titled “The Long Walk“, based on the critically acclaimed dystopian novel by Stephen King, has set a release date following its completion in production last year. The film features Cooper Hoffman, Charlie Plummer, Judy Greer, Mark Hamill and David Jonsson as the main cast members.
At the CinemaCon event, Lionsgate revealed that the movie adaptation of “The Long Walk” by Stephen King will debut in cinemas from September 12, 2025. Directed by Francis Lawrence, this film is based on King’s 1979 novel and portrays a chilling dystopian America where a televised event sees 100 boys embark on a long journey, with only one surviving to claim the grand prize – anything he desires for the rest of his life. Lawrence, who also directed “The Hunger Games,” views this movie as an emotionally charged coming-of-age story centered around a group of young men fighting for their lives.
My all-time favorite novel by Stephen King is the one I read 27 years ago. The rights were purchased and then resold. My producer, Roy Lee, brought it to my attention. What intrigued me was the premise of the story – it made me feel like I was in the shoes of these young characters. For me, the core of the movie lies in their relationships – the friendships they form, the love that develops. This isn’t a competition about trying to overpower each other, but rather a contest about supporting and uplifting one another.
More to come.
