Official movie poster for The Long Walk, based on the novel by Stephen King, from Lionsgate.

The Long Walk is one of Stephen King’s earliest written novels, but it’s never hit the screen—until now. 

And let me tell you, this ain’t just another King adaptation. 

Lionsgate is bringing the dystopian thriller to theaters this fall, and it’s being directed by none other than Francis Lawrence, the mastermind behind The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Mockingjay

Yes, the man knows how to build intensity.

This one’s shaping up to be dark, emotional, and completely unrelenting. 

Just the way we like our Stephen King stories.

📚 What’s The Long Walk About?

Picture this: 100 teen boys. A walking competition like no other. The rules? Keep walking above a certain speed or get eliminated—permanently. 

No breaks, no sleep, no mercy. Only one will survive.

Based on King’s chilling novel (written under his pseudonym Richard Bachman), The Long Walk isn’t just a physical challenge—it’s a psychological nightmare. 

And in the hands of Francis Lawrence, you know this is gonna hit hard.
