Lionsgate has shared a new batch of character posters for the upcoming Stephen King adaptation The Long Walk, featuring stars Mark Hamill, Ben Wang, Charlie Plummer, Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, Garrett Wareing, Jordan Gonzalez, Joshua Odjick, Roman Griffin Davis, and Tut Nyout.
The film is based upon King’s 1979 novel of the same name, published under his pseudonym Richard Bachman, who looks set to have a pretty big year, what with this and Edgar Wright’s adaptation of The Running Man. Take a look at the new character posters here…
From the highly anticipated adaptation of master storyteller Stephen King’s first-written novel, and Francis Lawrence, the visionary director of The Hunger Games franchise films (Catching Fire, Mockingjay – Pts. 1 & 2 , and The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), comes THE LONG WALK, an intense, chilling, and emotional thriller that challenges audiences to confront a haunting question: how far could you go?
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 directed by Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes) and stars 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).
The Long Walk is set for release on September 12th 2025.
