The very first novel penned by Stephen King (1966) makes its way to theaters this September, as visionary director Francis Lawrence (THE HUNGER GAMES) translated the long overdue adaptation with a screenplay by J.T. Mollner. The nihilistic and harrowing film takes viewers on a hopeless grueling journey that encompasses obstacles that will leave you in tears. The brilliant script, Orwellian cinematography, eerie score and superb performances make this an incredible yet horrifying experience.

THE LONG WALK stars Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Tut Nyuot, Charlie Plummer, Ben Wang, Roman Griffin Davis, Jordan Gonzalez, Joshua Odjick, Josh Hamilton, with Judy Greer, and Mark Hamill.

The disturbingly chilling graphic and highly emotional dystopian horror thriller features a literal “do or die” contest where teenage boys participate in a grueling high-stakes competition where they must continuously walk or be shot by a member of their military escort. The nightmarish story centers on an oppressive and totalitarian regime in a post-war United States where money is scarce and the military holds absolute power. The merciless original story that challenges viewers with one haunting question: how far would you go? – was written in the early 60’s under King’s infamous pen name Richard Bachman, and wasn’t published until 1979.
