Lionsgate has shared the first trailer and images from The Long Walk, director Francis Lawrence’s (I Am Legend, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes) adaptation of the dystopian horror novel from Stephen King, originally penned under his Richard Bachman pseudonym.
Scripted by JT Mollner (Strange Darling), the cast of The Long Walk includes Cooper Hoffman (Licorice Pizza), David Jonsson (Alien: Romulus), Garrett Wareing (Manifest), Tut Nyout (The Witcher: Blood Origin), Charlie Plummer (The First Lady), Ben Wang (Karate Kid: Legends), Roman Griffin Davis (Jojo Rabbit), Jordan Gonzalez (Pretty Little Liars: Origin Sin), Joshua Odjick (Welcome to Derry), Josh Hamilton (The Walking Dead), Judy Greer (Halloween) and Mark Hamill (Star Wars).
In The Long Walk, the country holds an annual walking contest in which 100 teens must journey, non-stop and under strict rules, until only one of them is still standing alive and receiving a prize. The story follows a 16-year old walker named Raymond Garraty and the teens — some good, some bad, some mysterious — in his orbit.
The Long Walk is set for release on September 12th 2025.
